The upcoming launch of the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG on the US market is bound to make performance car fans just a tiny bit more excited they they originally were about the car.
Speaking with a Mercedes-AMG representative, the peeps from Torque News report that the AMG version of the CLA will have a naught to 60 mph time even lower than the preliminary estimates, with an acceleration time of just 4.4 seconds.
Sure, that is just 0.1 seconds faster than what it was originally believed, but every tenth of a second in this performance area is a gold mine from a marketing perspective.
As you know, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG can get from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.6 seconds, so the 0.2-seconds less time it requires to reach 60 mph (97 km/h) is pretty spectacular for a car that's larger (length-wise) than a C-Class.
Powered by a two-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, the CLA 45 AMG develops 360 hp (355 bhp) and 450 Nm (332 lb ft) of torque. The model will be officially launched on the US market in the upcoming November.
