[HG Motorsports] Pictures of our CLA 250 Testing at Buttonwillow

We just got back from a rainy track test session at Buttonwillow Raceway and wanted to share some pictures.

The KW Coilovers this CLA 250 is running are now available!! We had the first kit in the US sent directly to us from KW in Germany and are pleased to report that the car handles great with this setup. We also tested the prototypes of the HG Motorsports intake and exhaust systems and they stood up to a full day of track abuse with no issues.







We also brought our CLA 45 AMG out to the track so be sure to check out pictures of that car in the CLA 45 forum.

We do not have pictures of a production-quality intake yet but look out for a new thread for our intake and exhaust soon. The prototypes we've been testing are functionally identical to our production pieces but they are rapid prototypes meaning we did not bother to make them look nice. This was done so we could quickly test different designs to get the performance, heat resistance, filtration, and sound we wanted and we will be one of the first to market with racetrack-proven parts. Now that these parts are ready to go into production, we have moved on to testing other upgrades for the CLA 250 including upgraded turbos.
