Nobody does underhood rage better than AMG. The enormous power of the M139 comes from only 2.0 liters, giving it the specific output of 208.9 hp/L. You’ll be hard pressed to find a more power-dense four-banger. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission replaces last year's seven-speed and sends torque to all four wheels. While we would love a manual gearbox, there is nothing objectionable about the lightning-fast eight-speed, which can serve up a whole range of suitable gears for almost any driving situation.
It won't surprise you to hear that this car is brutally quick: AMG says the sprint from zero to 62 mph-using launch control-can be done in four seconds flat for the CLA45 S; the non-S model needs but a tenth of a second more. We recorded a 3.8-second blast to 60 mph in the 375-hp last-gen model, though, so those estimates are likely conservative. Top speed is said to be governed at 155 mph or 168 mph, depending on the configuration.
