Vath Outs 245-HP Mercedes-Benz A250 ‘V25′
This tuned model is called the V25, and there’s quite a considerable package given to the car. For starters, the 2.0-liter engine has been tuned, and aside from the HP boost, it also gets to 288 pound-feet of torque. The numbers are up from 211 horsepower and 258 pound-feet on the stock A250.
There’s also a fresh exhaust system made of stainless steel, with a new downpipe, catalyst, and silencer. There’s also remote valve control for those who’d choose it. In addiiton, prospective owners get a lowered suspension (30 mm), 19-inch alloy wheels, an upgrade for the brakes, and some nifty add-ons such as a sports steering wheel and a carbon-fiber front lip spoiler.
All the mods and tweaks help give the V25 a top speed of 155 mph and a 5.9-second 0-62 time, which is pretty neat when you think about how this is an A-Class. Don’t worry US customers. If Vath doesn’t bring their package over stateside for the CLA, I’m sure there will be other tuning firms happy to fill the gap.
