Mercedes-Benz India on Friday expanded its AMG portfolio with the addition of the A 45 S 4MATIC+, calling it the “world’s most powerful turbo-charged four-cylinder engine series production car”. The vehicle will retail for Rs 79.5 lakh.
Martin Schwenk, managing director & CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, said, “We are strengthening our A-Class portfolio with this launch.
“With the launch of the most powerful and most dynamic new generation sports car in our portfolio, we are strongly reinforcing the importance of this segment in our overall growth strategy. “
“India’s fastest hatchback is a thoroughbred performance machine eagerly awaited by our AMG customers and performance purists. It underscores our commitment towards introducing the most desirable products from our global portfolio for our discerning customers in India,” he added.
Tuned for out-and-out performance, the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ has a reinforced body shell, powerful engine, range of driving modes from ‘drift’ to ‘race’ and reworked suspension.
The four-cylinder turbocharged motor sprints from zero to 100 km/hour in only 3.9 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 270 km/hr. The new engine is entirely assembled by hand. To this end, a newly designed production line was constructed in Affalterbach, Germany.
