Dressed in colorful camouflage, the Mercedes-AMG A45
follows in the footsteps of A35 but features a more aggressive exterior with a
panamericana grille and a four-tailpipe exhaust system. The model also appears
to have unique alloy wheels and the same rear wing as the A35.
Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers has already confirmed an assortment of details
about the upcoming model. Chief among them is the fact that the car will use an
all-new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces more than 395
hp. This means the model will have at least 95 hp more than the A35.
Besides featuring a more powerful engine, the A45
will have an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission instead of the A35’s
seven-speed unit. The combination of more power and more gears should enable
the A45 to easily beat its little brother which can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250
km/h.
As before, the A45 will come equipped with a
standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. However, there will be an all-new drift
mode which is similar to the one used on the Mercedes-AMG GT Four-Door Coupe.
