Mercedes-Benz A 45 AMG prototype

Mercedes-Benz come with new luxury car in 2013, It is The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG. According to published reports the Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG will have more potent version of the 208 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder used in the standard A-Class and it will make 330 horsepower and torque perhaps above 295lb ft.

 

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG will be release on the end of 2013, base priced $80,000

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG will feature a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, internally called M133, producing around 350 hp; maximum torque will be more than 295 lb-ft. The engine, fitted with a single BorgWarner-sourced twin-scroll turbocharger, has a 6300-rpm redline.  The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG will be the most powerful engine in its class, that class consists of the new M135i and the Audi RS3.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG will be equipped with all-wheel drive. However, with the stability-control system off, power will be distributed with a rear bias. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, derived from the standard A-class unit but strengthened, handles gear-shifting duties.

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A45 AMG Weight is around 3300 pounds, with a weight distribution of 60 percent front/40 rear. Top speed is an electronically limited 155 mph—and it’s likely that AMG will offer an option to raise the governor limit to 174 mph.

Mercedes-Benz will likely charge into the American-market compact-luxury party in 2014, several years tardy but with no shortage of enthusiasm. The incursion kicks off with the swoopy CLA-class sedan and will eventually include a sub-GLK crossover and an electrified B-class. The company's U.S. stewards are also considering the A-class hatchback as a fourth small offering, but the car on these pages is significant even if Americans never have a chance to buy one. This A45 AMG prototype packs the same hardware that will power the CLA45 AMG sedan that arrives in U.S. dealerships in 2014.

We could hardly have picked a worse day for our first encounter with the A-class on steroids. From the start, the rain is pouring down on the scantily disguised, white A45 AMG, which returned only this morning from the torture chamber known as the Nordschleife. R&D chief Tobias Moers slides his short and wiry frame behind the squared-off steering wheel, pulls the red seatbelt tight, adjusts the mirrors, and hits the start button. From the passenger seat, I look over his right shoulder to see that the speedometer readout expires at 320 kph (199 mph) and the tack is redlined at 6200 rpm. The rest of the dashboard is hidden by a coarsely cut piece of camouflage. Even at idle speed, the 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder sounds like no other A-classpower plant. As we pull out of the factory, the direct-injected unit emits a hungry growl that is duly amplified by a sound tube that connects the engine bay to the center stack.
