This video from two months ago recently caught out attention. It's titled "A 45 AMG w/ Black Series pipes vs Audi R8!", but it's actually a fake.
The car isn't a real A45, rather just a regular Mercedes Benz A 250 with the Sport body kit and tuning by Brabus. We checked with the German tuners and found their performance enhancement for this specific car takes the 2.0-liter from 211 PS to 245 PS. Thanks also to the 385 Nm of torque, the A 250 is now capable of reaching 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds.
That's not bad for a hot hatch, but against a real sportscar with a V8 engine, it's not really a match.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
