This car already has sportscar performance and the most highly tuned 2-liter engine we’ve ever heard of, making 360 HP and diesel-like levels of torque.

The car already looked amazing, but the “Edition 1” version is the royal straight flush, like an undeclared Black Series.

The body the A45 is finished in Cirrus White, as you can see, but it also has excellent matte graphite gray accents that will make you the king of the car park. The car also has the optional Aerodynamics package that adds a big rear wing, a larger front splitter and aero bits to channel air at the front.

Red accents tie the whole package together, like little ribbons of color applied to the mirrors, the grille, AMG brake calipers and rear wing.

All the details are there to make you say to yourself “yes, I want to buy the A45 AMG right now”, especially once you see the interior. This is also a combo of red accents, black leather and special trim that makes you feel like you’re in a racing car.

If you’re already convinced this is the hyper hot hatch for you, you’ll have to wait until the Geneva Motor Show, which is where pricing and availability will be announced.
