So I've been looking online at this CLA45 AMG and notice that in the dealer inventory, none of the CLA45's have the AMG Dynamic Plus package. Does this mean it doesn not come with Launch Control then? Is there a big difference with or without it?

You're looking for Race Start, which I'm pretty sure every CLA45 has.

Thank you, thats what I was looking for. Can anyone verify this? BTW, the package I mentioned, includes: Race Start, front LSD and suspension. If it automatically comes with it, then I dont need to spend on that "package", unless it really adds an advantage....anyone??

Are there even 2016's out in the U.S. yet? I've yet to see any online.

On Mercedes webite they have them. Usually the next years model comes out mid way the current year. Either way my question applies to the 2015 too, I guess...

All 2014 and 15 models have launch control. The dynamic plus pkg is new for 2016. I don't believe they've been released yet. I see none listed on cars.com.

Good to know, thank you. I think I will build and order the 2016 then, 375hp 4.1 0-60 is good

Interestingly enough, when you look at the "Dynamic Plus PKG" on the MBUSA website, it actually lists Race Start function as one of the packages items... I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if the 2016 model onwards required that package to have Race Start programmed in... It is Mercedes after all... they're not going to just devalue the hell out of our 2014/2015 cars, you know they are going to make people pay more for standard features that were given before.. :P

Yeah not sure what they are doing with race start on the 16s. I don't think they can advertise a 0 to 60 time of 4.1 if not all 45s can achieve it. Without race start I don't see how that # is possible.

good point... Will research...
