Mercedes-AMG is in the Big Apple for the official debut of the CLA 45 AMG, a four-door coupe with performance matching that of Audi's TT-RS. The car is a new breed of AMG car, built from what used to be a FWD platform and powered by the new M133 four-cylinder turbo engine.
Considering this car makes 360 PS (355 PS) and 450 Nm of torque, we really needed to take a closer look. This official trailer video shows that on a wet track, the 4MATIC system can still pull slides and have fun.
In fact, we have no doubt that it can raise the hair on the back of your neck, with its snappy gear changes and tuned exhaust notes. Who needs two-door coupes when you have the CLA? Who needs rear-wheel drive when you have AMG?
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.
