Carlsson CA45
One would think that Mercedes-AMG's
381 PS A45 is awesome enough even without any exterior mods, but for some
people, doing something about its appearance can make a big difference.
Regardless, it's hard to argue against
the A45, especially if all you're looking for is a very powerful premium hot
hatchback that's very difficult to beat in a straight line by any of its direct
rivals. But if you need a little more than that, perhaps Carlsson's CA45
conversion is just the thing.
According to the tuner, the exterior
mods can just as easily apply to the regular W176 A-Class facelift with
AMG-Line as they can to the thoroughbred A45.
The revised body kit is made up of a
custom front spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler, diffuser and a few Carlsson badges
and logos, with the latter replacing the regular Mercedes logo on the front
grille. Customers can opt for different wheel and tire combos, where the wheel
size can go up to 20".
Also, choosing the optional four-pipe
rear exhaust tip configuration means setting aside the A45's stock dual
exhaust, which is understandable since it's nowhere near as aggressive as what
Carlsson are offering.
