The most powerful series-production four-cylinder turbo engine in the world

MANILA, Philippines - For the first time in the company’s history extending back over 45 years, AMG is offering two high-performance vehicles powered by a four-cylinder engine — an engine that has recently won two trophies from the International Engine of the Year Awards 2014.

The A 45 AMG and CLA 45 AMG offer a fascinatingly sporty driving experience, characterised by impressive craftsmanship and individuality. Both new four-cylinder models feature the hallmark AMG DNA, of course, largely down to the fact that during design and development the Mercedes-AMG experts were able to draw on all their experience in motorsport and the construction of powerful high-performance cars and components gained over the past decade.

Mercedes-AMG offers a wide range of equipment, colour and material options for the all models. With BlueDIRECT turbo engine, all-wheel drive and AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission, the A 45 AMG and CLA 45 AMG boast an extremely attractive, dynamic and efficient drive configuration.

Two figures show that the A 45 AMG and CLA 45 AMG hold pole position in their displacement segment: the newly developed AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine is the most powerful series-production four-cylinder turbo engine in the world. The power density of 133 kW (181 hp) puts the AMG high-performance turbo engine at par with the world’s most powerful super sports cars. A maximum output of 265 kW (360 hp) and up to 450 Newton Metres of torque are unmatched by any other mass-produced turbocharged four-cylinder engine worldwide.
