Video of CLA45 AMG running the 1/4 Mile!

Dont think anyone has posted this yet. No info in the comments of the video but Im guessing the car is stock.

Enjoy!


12.7 at 109mph seems about right.

Thanks for posting. Exactly what I thought, a mid to high 12 second car at almost 110mph. Bigger turbo and tune to get the 45 to the big boy AMG levels of power. I am still happy with my order.

Exactly what my MY 04 C32 does within a gnats hair!!! Not bad for a 4 banger with AWD...........................Let the modding begin? First into the 11s wins

Sounds about right. The other video of the auto mag or whatever did it at 12.6 @ 111 I believe the speed was.

12.7 for a stock 4 is great. I doubt the turbo's going to be necessary. As is, it's not too far off from the W211 E55 stock.

I wonder if Carlsson tested their "tuned" one in the quarter yet? I wonder what kind of numbers that would produce.

Nice vid, that's here in Australia not sure about the race track but it might be Bathurst

The CLA acquits itself well as the other car is a new VF model GMH/HSV GTS Commodore fitted with the new GM LSA supercharged V8 engine with well over 400kw and over 700nm and it must also have very sticky rubber as it seemed to take off well without frying the rear tyres (it's a RWD car).

The A45 hatch variant would've done a little better than the CLA and probably even pipped the GTS on that particular run.

At almost mid 12's stock out of the box and with their AWD, there's no doubt that tuning will see these A Class AMG's in the 11's, similarily equipped Evos and Rexs with tuning run 11's and even 10's and start off much slower than the AMG stock standard.

Look forward to seeing the future progress and evolution of this new AMG 4 banger

A bigger turbo is certainly going to be necessary to get a 120 plus trap out of this car as the stock turbo is already in the 25-26psi range in terms of boost on pump gas.

Faster than my modded CLK55. I'll take it. Hope the GLA45 is nearly as quick.
