My New Toy Has Arrived:D

Hi everyone,

Im a newcomer and wanted to share my new toy which has arrived 2 days ago. Im very excited

First impression are so far so good. Better than what i expected. Quality is very good. One of the options i put on the car was AMG Performance suspension which are damn hard I feel like riding i a big go kart its very firm but other than that have to run it in order to see the performance. Never had to chance to drive one before ordering so quite excited about the performance it will put out.

I believe it is the only Edition 1 so far in Cyprus. When i drive the car around people are wondering what is this Merc doing with all the aftermarket parts bolted on it Few had stopped and asked if it is a real AMG

Anyways have few pictures of the car when it just arrived and will post some more later on

SWEET! Enjoy...I ordered the performance suspension as well and am concerned about the stiffness, all the reviewers said it rides very hard like a hay wagon, but then again this is no S Class luxury car! Thanks for posting!

The big question is, do WE order the Performance suspension or not??? You said its very firm, which I read as "rough."

Imo having tested both options.
If you track your a45 and like very firm ride +stiff ride get the p.s
Otherwise, don't get it if you like a more comfortable car.

Thank you guys for all the best wishes guys

Regarding the performance suspension it is very firm. I haven't had a chance to ride the normal one so cannot tell you between both. I usually take my cars to the local track we have here which is called Achna Speedway. It is around 2.1Km long so not a big track just the right car for the track i guess. When compering it to my other cars it is softer than a Lotus Exige S but as hard as Porsche 997TT when the suspension button is put on. I hope it helped you guys a bit

Don't get the p25 drivers package unless you are tracking the car. Or just like super firm suspension...

You can always do stand alone red calipers and 19's
