THE DRIVE Pure Exhilaration The new Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Coupé takes the compact car driving experience to new heights. Text by Aileen Chow Photos: Courtesy of Mercedes-Benz TM | JULY/AUGUST 2020 110
The first model debut of the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Coupé couldn’t have arrived at a stranger time. Due to restrictions put in place during the Conditional Movement Order, its official launch on 1 June took place completely online, on Mercedes-Benz’s YouTube and Facebook channels. It was an unusual and unique experience – a first for the German marque. The Next-Gen Mercedes-AMG Cars Apart from the CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Coupé, two other models from the compact S series were also revealed at the launch – the hatchback Mercedes-AMG A 35 S 4MATIC and Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+. The new AMG range has seen a complete redesign from the engine and transmission to the body’s aerodynamic design, to take the sporty driving experience – of a compact car – to a breathtaking whole new level. A Petite Powerhouse The new AMG range boasts Mercedes’ newly developed M139 2.0-litre engine, which the maker claims to be the world’s most powerful turbo-charged four-cylinder manufactured for series production with an output of up to 310 kW (421 hp). Maximum torque has been raised from 475 to up to 500 Nm, compared to the previous 45 models, and with an output per litre of up to 155 kW (211 hp). There’s no doubt that this supercharged high-performance turbo engine has raised the bar against many other well-known sports car engines. It sprints from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds and with a top speed of up to 270 km/h. One notable unique feature of the M139 engine is that it’s installed in a reversed position where the exhaust manifold and turbocharger are now located at the rear, while the intake system is at the front of the engine bay. This change allows for a flatter, more aerodynamic front design for a sleeker look, and at the same time, optimising air flow in the engine compartment. 111 JULY/AUGUST 2020 | TM
