Mercedes-AMG Hot-hatch Exchanges Christmas Cheer for Drift Madness
Wrapped in colorful speed lines, AMG A 45 unfurls all 400 horses to ring in the holidays.
How do you celebrate the holiday season? For some, it’s eight nights of lighting the menorah in honor of those who kept the light going centuries ago. For others, it’s celebrating the longest night of the year around an open fire. And of course, others still hang stockings upon the mantle in the hopes a jolly elf in red leaves gifts behind.
For Mercedes-AMG, though, they prefer to celebrate without the usual sentimentality. Instead, they give their new A 45 plenty of exercise “somewhere in Northern Germany.”
Wrapped in colorful speed lines, the A 45 unleashes all 400 horses from its 2.0-liter turbo-four corral to all corners with a soundtrack full of wubs, bass cannons and screeching tires, instead of the usual jingling bells and little drummers.
Whether its tarmac or gravel, the A 45 lets it all hang out. Not even cones are safe from the raw power of this masked Teutonic hot hatch, its tail happy to knock ’em down like a cat to a Christmas tree.
According to Motor1, the AMG A 45 won’t be fully revealed until the first half of 2019. Alas, we in the U.S. will have to settle for the sedan version of the A 45, as Mercedes-AMG has no plans to bring the hot hatch to North America at this time.
