A-Class (W177) [Official] Mercedes-AMG A45 S And CLA 45 S

[Ted]

Although new generation AMG 45 production started already, the start of deliveries may be delayed to Q2 2020 at the earliest, according to MB Passion, without giving reasons.

Just kills the first generation CLA. Amazing.

It's the most cohesive design out of any 4 door Mercedes coupe.

I believe that there is a possibility that this car is going to be delayed because of additional testing and tuning on the track, after several negative reviews (Chris Harris comes to mind).

It would be great if they do that, but I don't remember when was the last time they delayed some product because of couple bad reviews?

You are welcome. Some rumors emerging from MB Passion indicate parts availability or WLTP certification delays.

First gen A class

That wasn’t a delayed introduction. It was a revision after the fact.

It was exactly a delayed introduction due to a revision that become necessary after the press reviews (the notorious Swedish Elch test).

So the car wasn’t on sale already?

It was the press reviews, before the start of the deliveries to customers. Similar to the Chris Harris case. I suppose they want to improve the car but the most harmless explanation is a problem with some of the suppliers.

If they did delay it in order to perfect it then that's nothing short of admirable.
Hope this is exactly the case.

 

[Ted]

How can they really change much with the car now they can do cambers springs
Play about more with the diff set up
Can’t change much more they would have been better to make it lighter

What a showstopper inside and out. I would have mine in the exact same spec. The engine even sound good from within the cabin. Pair it with an electric motor in a C-class and you will have one hell of a car.

BS anybody heard if brabus are making a exhaust for the A45s ??
I did read somewhere that the brain in the car is set up if it gets a upgraded exhaust it will know and allow for the pops and bangs again in neutral

^ Renntech may offer one. Did you see this article?

New Mercedes-AMG A45 Getting Ludicrous Tune To 592 Horsepower
There are also 543 hp and 469 hp tunes from Renntech.

Renntech is a major name in Mercedes-Benz tuning, and the company's latest undertaking gives the A45 a significant power upgrade. While the stock output of up to 416 horsepower (310 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) is impressive, the company has kits coming in the first quarter of 2020 that can push the power as high as 592 hp (442 kW).

To get the full 592-hp output, the A45 requires a modified turbocharger, exhaust, and engine software. The same is true for Renntech's upcoming 543 hp (405 kW) upgrade. If you don't want to make the mechanical changes, then the firm also has a tune making 469 hp (349 kW) and 424 lb-ft (575 Nm) that only requires software changes.

The company doesn't make any performance claims for the upgrades at this time. The stock A45 S gets to 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.9 seconds. The extra power should shed a few tenths off that time.

Renntech is working on other parts for the A45. By late February, customers can order an optional downpipe and sports catalytic converter. There's also an upgraded exhaust on the way that improves the vehicle's sound but retains the original catalytic converter. As another option, customers can add a remote-controlled exhaust valve module that lets the owner fully open the pipes regardless of driving mode.

The company is also working on some aesthetic upgrades for the A45. There are 19- and 20-inch wheels that are available in either cast or forged construction. The larger ones are available with an optional painted outer ring.
