A45 AMG Edition 1

As if the hot hatch couldn’t get any HOTTER!

We can all agree the 2014 Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG is a gorgeous car. But when Mercedes decided to make a special “Edition 1” version, it gets even better. The first thing that commands your attention is all the red accents. Then you notice the carbon fiber winglets upfront, mirror covers and the carbon fiber rear wing. As a refresher, the A 45 AMG is powered by a newly developed AMG 360hp 2.0-liter turbo engine, which is the most powerful series production four-cylinder turbo engine in the world. We’ll see this engine state side in the all new CLA45 AMG later this year.
