Although unavailable in the New World, where the CLA 45 serves as the flagship, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S continues to assert dominance in the mega hatch category internationally.
Still producing 415 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine allows it to reach 62 mph in 3.9 seconds.
In terms of performance, the Posaidon-tuned version outperforms even the legendary Ferrari Enzo, reaching a top speed of 201 mph and a 0-62 mph time of 3.4 seconds. It has 465 lb-ft of torque and 518 horsepower.
Recently tested by AutoTopNL, this modified A 45 S impresses with its driving dynamics, showcasing its capabilities without unnecessary commentary. While it may not be a new model requiring extensive review, its staggering performance in a compact hatchback deserves recognition.
Despite its exceptional performance, a downside is the owner’s decision to add custom decals to the sides. Nonetheless, for enthusiasts seeking unparalleled speed in a compact package, this tuned A 45 S is a compelling choice.
