One of the only newer Mercs that I actually like the styling of! And the power figure sounds pretty mental as well, really wish we would get them here..

Re: Mercedes Benz A45 AMG

Refreshed with a power boost too!

As for the flagship A45 AMG, this one takes the power crown back from the 367 PS Audi RS3 Sportback as Mercedes-Benz's engineers have tweaked the engine to develop 381 PS (280 kW) and 475 Nm (351 lb-ft) whereas the old model had 360 PS & 450 Nm. This output hike has lowered the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint time by 0.4s to 4.2 seconds without affecting the fuel consumption which continues to stand at 6.9 liters / 100 km with 162 g/km of CO2 emissions.

The A45 AMG can also be optionally configured with an AMG DYNAMIC PLUS package which brings a new mechanical front axle locking differential and AMG RIDE CONTROL sport suspension (with two-stage adaptive damping adjustment). It also gains DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes allowing the owner to choose from Comfort, Sport, Sport + and Individual modes which upon selection will modify the handling characteristics.

They also updated the A45 AMG's 7-speed dual-clutch by shortening the ratios in 3 rd and 7 th gears to enable a "more dynamic acceleration in all speed ranges." In addition, the transmission now has optimized response and shift times.

There's no word yet about that A45 AMG S version with 400 PS (294 kW), but chances are it will come out sooner or later. Until then, the facelifted A-Class range will be available on order July 3 and will start hitting dealerships by the end of September.
