Mercedes-AMG is providing an exclusive glimpse of the highlights of the upcoming A 45 AMG. For the first time in the 45-year history of the company, AMG will offer an exciting high-performance vehicle in the compact class.

The AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo engine specially developed for the A 45 AMG is rumored to pack around 350 hp. Power is sent to all-wheel drive via AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission with dual clutch technology.

Agile handling comes courtesy of the AMG sports suspension with independently developed front and rear axles, electromechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering, AMG high-performance braking system and 3-stage ESP® with “SPORT Handling” mode.

The A 45 AMG will celebrate its world premiere in the first quarter of 2013, most likely at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
