A45 AMG Drag Race..
« on: June 12, 2013, 04:57:44 pm »
If these figures are correct, then the little AMG is going to be a proper monster once fettled (providing there is headroom in the engine/turbo). Race looks typically staged though (like most media drag races) IMO..

I agree looks staged towards the end, the higher displacement of the CLS63 should have reeled the A45 in and passed but who knows...

I think it looks ace.  Definitely better looking than the M135i.  Think the RS3 has it on the looks dept though.  Looking forward to seeing what its performance potential is.

Its direct competitor has to be the RS3, so im keen to see how it compares to that in the handling dept.  Both Merc and Audi arent exactly famed for having cars that handle amazing.  I reckon when BMW release the next 1M that it will no doubt trounce the pair of them on the track.

I dont think i have ever seen a Merc on track come to think about it, has there ever been any mercedes produced that could be fettled for track outside of the cars built for comps.

But there has never been a car like this released by Merc though.  This is new territory for them.  I cant imagine owners of these large exec AMG cars would be happy shredding the rear tyres and fueling 6 litres of engine on a trackday.

Looks lovely, everything about it does. :party: I did like the look of the A class when it come out but the more I see them the more they remind me of the Volvo C30 or whatever they're called.

Ugly in your opinion it may be, but boring? I don't think that's a fair comment, compared to the GTI/s3/1series the rear end design wise is anything but boring.

IMO  :smiley:

Just not for me, I prefer the 1m, rs3, gti's conservative rear end lol

The c63 amg I think looks awesome, think its these rear lights that put me off.

I'm talking about the cla btw, the a class amg I love

I quite like this little car, styling like the 1-series is better in the metal, engine looks a peach (if a little highly strung?) and that interior is fantastic - I wish I could have buckets like that in mine.

Price ouch. Haldex not for me. Be interesting to see how it compares to the new 1/2M & RS3 when they arrive.

8.5/10.
