so 4wd accelerates better and then cls power overtakes him which is usual in drag races, more power wins, but not here, suddenly weaker car is faster after this one already passed him. there is actually someone who believes this is not fake? idiots..
Both of them already mentioned the CLS messed up one of its gear changes, that’s what let the A45 back into the race. If that race was run again and every gear shift was perfect, that CLS would have won. That’s why nobody thinks it’s fake, because it isn’t lol
No hates here but very obvious this is fake. How can a 550hp twin turbo v8 with 700+nm give credit to a 4 cylinder with 360hp and will slow down after 200kmh? CLS will smoke that lil a45 all the way up to 270kmh
+JeremyLoveTech123 usually the cls is a lot faster, but in britain they have freking right hand drive and the 4wd system used in amgs doesnt fit into that shit so this cls is only rear wheel drive which makes its 0 to 60 time a second slower
Arman 180cc ofc its retarded. theres the left hand drive standart in almost every freaking country, but some need their extra. but theres one thing even worse: the usa not using the metric system xD measuring lengths in feet and temperature in °F and shit like that
As mentioned by Mercedes driver in the CLS it had a transmission blip this happens in mine occasionally feels like you hit brick wall. However it pulls like a train right up to limiter a right animal with no blip would of walked it.
Lucky you. i had the opportunity to drive it yesterday. I hope you have ordered the Performance exhaust because I tell you one thing. It is SPECTACULAR! It sounds like a rallycar! Audi RS3, S3, or VW Golf R are NOTHING against it, no matter how much money they have spent for aftermarket exhausts Have fun with this badass car!
yeah I agree on your points. Like Mitsu SST gearbox, it was well done too and lots of after market parts to make it handle 600awhp but that is a tuners car. Will see how the time will lead on this, since Mercs are not much of tuners cars - yet..
Pretty cool video. :) I'd love to see that A45 on the corners though. Crazy power to wait too. But remember there's no replacement for displacement and if the turbos on the CLS63 had 26psi boost as they do on the A45, there'd be no competition. CLS with 18psi just needs to stretch its legs a little more, but I love that A45. Don't take it too seriously.lol It's good to see an AMG 2l turbo.
Dazzlaarr W Yes, those cars are made of better materials, look better and are packed with latest technology, but you miss the point. AMG and RS is for snobs that want to shine and show off their wealth and for kids that buy regular 2.0 diesels to feel that they belong to group of company that is able to produce those high power monsters and M division is a BULLSHIT, they have good marketing though, they made a good brand, but it has NO motorsports history, just good marketing and budget focused on paying magazines that kids read. Even Alfa Romeo has better history in motorsports. A rich guy that search for 10000% comfort and luxury would rather buy a S600 or a Bentley. STi and EVO offers all you need to eat corners and feel safe when you drive at speeds that are crazy and are so reliable that you can tune them to supercar power. Trust me, I work on a track where many rich people have like 5x EVO or few GTR's just to have fun and they drive with their Land Rovers daily.
Yep, after debating which car I should buy next between the Mazda 3 Speed, Toyota GT 86 or this (Which will involve a new mortgage) this video just chose it for me! I would like a dark grey one with black wheels and a aero kit pleaseeee!
I had a fight with that at Mercedes' internal test track, it goes as fast as the C63 Black Series, quite amazing performance. Brakes are really good too, lots of grip, nice bangs on upshifts: really well made.
It's awesome that you got both in the same colour scheme and with the same alloys! They definitely look as if they were (because they are) from the same family.
The current C63 with the performance package has been tested by several different companies and they have all achieve around 3.8-3.9 second 0-60 times. When they make the AWD edition of the C63, which they will at some point, and with the dual-clutch transmission, it will easily get from 0-60 in around 3.3 seconds.
Except this UK only FQ400 is the product of a third party tuner and not a factory. If one were to start considering tuning houses, I'm sure you could find alot of cars that will best the specific outputs of either the A45 or the lancer.. example the Alpha 12 GTR, with 275kw/litre...
I have just ordered my A45 AMG and as much as I love it ... it doesn't have the most BHP per litre ... The EVO FQ400 has 200 BHP per litre and there are atleast 10 other cars I can name !!
It does my friend... The fq 400 was a limited production not a series production the evo was made in limited numbers for only some markets like the UK ... So please check the facts mate ... And u said u can name 10 more??? Plz do???
+Thao Nguyen - The Evo FQ400 still has more BHP per litre regardless of its exclusivity and the A45 is tuned by AMG ... i am getting the new 2016 vehicle and it has 381 BHP but thats still 190.5 BHP per litre ... i get the fact that it has more bhp per litre for mass production cars but there are several cars which are tuned by other companies which have more bhp per litre ... im not putting the A45 AMG down, i love the car but some quoted facts may be misleading
That's why Mercedes claims in the most powerful series production !!!! If u wanna talk about aftermarket tuners then we might as well talk about motor bikes ... Apples to apples my friend...
+Matthew Edmonds you buy a tuned car that's not mercedes that's got 200bhp per litre, go ahead.. but that engine will die much sooner that this one in the AMG. The AMG MERCEDES cars are pure quality matte :) Don't regret your order and drive safe. It's a monster...
+Stefan Sestovic - I think i have been quite lucky with my 45 AMG order because some extras were on back order so i am collecting mine in 4 weeks and its the new 2016 Face lift model with 381 bhp lol ... i won my car from a competition called BOTB ... have a look on their website ... there is a winner every week :)
well seeing the X5M etc cars with expensive transmission to be rebuild at high cost, I think after enjoying the car for a year or so I'd beef it up but surely the quality should be there. The border line is if you'd want to leave with bolt on mods, or go further. Surely the 4 drive mechanism and capability of handling more powers is a concern. It is a choice at the end, we will see in the future type of mods this car will get.
Ralliart were owned by Mitsubishi. Your comparison actually proves the alternative point. The reason everyone forgets the FQ400 is because they were UK only but they were official Evo X variants. The only Evo X variant that isn't a production model is the FQ330. That's classified as post production tuned. I know this because I have one. It would be easier to insure an FQ400 because that's an officially recognised model.
Er no. Those where not factory cars but merely some engineers at the respective company in the UK that made them into that by basic tuning with changed injectors, turbo, intercooler, re-flash etc. Hence why they were also only sold in the UK and not the rest of Europe/the World and why they do not qualify as the most BHP per litre in a production car
It might be fast, but i doubt it is going to be as involving or fun to drive as BMW 135i. Do not forget it is basically a frontwheel drive 1600kg hatch that only sends power to rear wheels when needed. (read when front wheels start to spin)
I have a feeling the A class is power underrated, this is the first time I have heard a 1/4 mile figure, but everyone who drives them seems to be very surprised at how fast they move.
Then it will be absolutely beastly - But some crazy tuners might going to try who knows - It´s been seen before putting the larger brothe engines in the smaller cars, Hamann bmw´s etc. ;)
I live in Edmonton AB, our roads are some of the worst in normal america for pot holes. Everything is repaved every 2-3 years. I test drove an Evo and it was quite exhausting, I drive a C63. I always assumed Evos were quite reliable. I never liked the STI, transmission sucked. AMG is really nice though. Excited to see the new 4matic AMGs coming. The new E63 4matic with a tune and turbo upgrade w/ downpipe will be a total sleeper!
that is tuned (even still sold by Mitsu), this is stock base. you should compare with EVO X regular version. I believe with a chiptune and exhaust you can easily beat 400 mark, but having said I love Evo and it is much more tuneable or upgradable than this AMG... after market parts etc...
I wish we got the a45 amg but in the us we only get the cla45 amg. .. same car essentially but I like the way the a45 looks and hatch utility...(tad lighter too) oh well cla45 it is!
Totally unexpected. Makes sense that the lighter A went off the line a bit faster but incredibly that monster V8 gas factory was supposed to annihilate it past the 20 meter mark.
First off only my nan still calls an estate car a shooting brake , and he said it was a twin turbo and its a bi turbo , twins have 2 turbos the same size hence the name , bi turbos have 2 but 1 is smaller than the other and is there to help with lag and spool up issues with its larger brother .
How impressive is that?! Seriously, a 355 hp turbocharged four-cilindre married with a great 7-speed dual-clutch automated in such a small and light car could only end up amazingly like that...
