Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG by
Performmaster
Mercedes-AMG A45 is one of the
hottest hatches With 381 horsepower on tap from its compact 2.0-liter engine. Improving on such a high-strung engine is no easy
task, but Foliatec and Performmaster seem to be up to it.
Performmaster has come
out with a new power module that boosts output to 410 horsepower. Coming from a
2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, that gives the tuned Benz a specific output of
205 hp per liter. At that rate, the 6.3-liter V12 in the Ferrari F12, for
example, would make 1,291 horses.
Once Performmaster was
done with it, Foliatec held an online conducted an online poll between a matte
silver effect and a color-changing green and purple respray, and the subtler of
the two won out. The change was affected using Foliatec's new Carbody Spray
Film, offset by red mirrors and wheels.
The appearance may appeal
more to some than others, but the sum total makes us want to put an A45 in our
driveway even more than we did before.
