2017 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG (spy shot)
Carscoops spies have caught a current-gen A45 AMG test car
running around the roads of Nurburgring.
What’s different this time is that the car in
question is featuring some seriously wider fenders. These of course are there
to cover the wider tracks of the car and we all know what happens when AMG
decides to widen the body of one of its models.
No idea of what AMG has in store for
the A45 and all we can guess is that Mercedes is planning to send off the
current generation of the A-Class with a proper bang. The wider body will be
likely accompanied from a series of upgrades in the chassis and the powertrain
departments.
Despite the normal A45 AMG being one of the faster
and most capable hatchbacks out there, this new hotter version, believed to be
called A45 S, is expected to offer around 400 hp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre
engine.
As for the name, Mercedes could go either for the classic
Black Series nameplate that’s been fitted to all of the previous wide-bodied
AMG creations, or the A45 R following the same path with the AMG GT R, or even
sticking just an S next to the A45 and call it a day.
