This year’s Frankfurt Motor Show will undoubtedly
host a multitude of quick hatchbacks, including the world premiere of this
Mercedes-AMG A 35 4MATIC by Brabus, which can be configured in one of two
different stages of tune.
First thing the German tuner will do to the car’s
2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine is fit it with the PowerXtra B 35 tuning
kit, which increases output by 44 PS and 60 Nm of torque –
the end result being 350 PS and 460 Nm, nearly 50 horses
up on the stock A 35.
However, if you opt instead for the PowerXtra+ kit
(B 35 S tuning), then you’ll enjoy a total of 365 PS to go with 486 Nm of torque, which together with the car’s 7-speed dual-clutch automatic
and all-wheel drive system, can propel you to 100 km/h in just 4.4
seconds.
Other performance-oriented mods include the
stainless sport exhaust system with integrated sound management, which can work
either with the stock tailpipes or Brabus’ four optionally available
stainless/carbon tips.
Visually, the car boasts a two-piece front spoiler,
side air intake elements and a new rear wing that replaces the production
spoiler, ensuring “an optimal aerodynamic balance and even more thrilling looks
from the rear.” Then there are the gloss black Brabus Monoblock T alloy wheels, which
measure 8.5J x 19 front and back, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero 235/35 ZR 19
rubber.
As for the interior, it can be tailored precisely to
the customer’s liking with regard to color and upholstery design. The 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show
will open its gates to the public on September 12th.
