Without further ado, let’s get straight into the facts and figures:

PERFORMANCE

  • Engine: M139 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo
  • Transmission: 8-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT
  • Drivetrain: AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with AMG Torque Control
  • Suspension: AMG Ride Control adaptive damping system
  • Horsepower: 421 hp @ 6,750 rpm
  • Torque: 500 Nm @ 5,000 to 5,250 rpm
  • 0 to 100 km/h: 3.9 seconds
  • Top Speed: 270 km/h

The AMG Torque Control system in the rear differential has two electronically-controlled multi-disc clutches, each connected to a rear drive shaft. As such power can be variably distributed not just between the front and rear wheels but also between the rear left and right wheel.

The A 45 S also comes with a Drift Mode, under the Race drive setting, allowing for powerslides to make less than professional drivers to feel like Ken Block. Drift mode can be summoned via the Race mode using the paddle shifters, with the Electronic Stability Programme deactivated and transmission set to Manual. We’d recommend that you do this in an appropriate environment and not on public roads.
