Mercedes CLA45 AMG Spyshot

 With sorrow we wait for the "baby CLS", presumably to be called CLA. Contrary to expectations, this compact four-door coupe Mercedes did not debut in Paris. November in Los Angeles then maybe? It is in any case there is an AMG version is currently very active on the Nordschleife.

With the CLS Shooting Brake and 63 AMG Mercedes-variant had two spectacular premieres at the Auto Salon in Paris last month. The fastest Class A, A45 AMG, we had also expected, as well as a brand new Mercedes in the form of CLA. It was not to be and so is our patience to the test. The A45 AMG promises a hot tear nose to the lives of example the Audi RS3 and the BMW M135i quite acid can make. And let the CLA45 AMG now have exactly the same technique as that Mercedes.

Around 330 hp
the upcoming CLA stands on the same soil group as the A-Class. In line with this, many techniques are shared. The engine program example will be very similar, as is the AMG versions of both models. Knowing that the A45 AMG over some 335 hp and 400 Nm will feature allows the power of the CLA45 AMG easily estimates. Coupled with a 7-speed AMG dual clutch transmission draws heavily tuned 2.0-liter four-cylinder the CLA45 in about five seconds to 100 km / h. All-wheel drive ensures adequate traction.

Frankfurt 2013
because both the A45 AMG as normal CLA first have to be introduced, we expect the CLA45 AMG no earlier than the end of next year. Fat chance that the model at the Frankfurt Motor Show for the first live show will be. In mid-September 2013 which starts on.
