So the CLA45 is faster than the CLS63?

I'm thinking its a publicity stunt....

Liub · 07-11-2013, 10:31 PM

With the CLA prices officially out, I'd think the A45 get more looks than its sibling.

PeteA · 07-15-2013, 05:45 AM

There is a Chris Harris video of the A45 AMG vs M135i coming out this Thursday (or late Wednesday). Very looking forward to it

BMW86 · 07-16-2013, 07:46 PM

My Dad put a deposit down on a CLA 45 the other week.

Price come in just under 95k drive-away.

Aero kit standard.
Black wheels extra $500
AMG suspension extra $2000
CF interior trim $1000

I'll do some thorough CLA 45 v N54 testing when it arrives

TS135i · 07-16-2013, 08:17 PM

I couldn't bring myself paying 95K for a 2.0L 4pot, irrespective how quick it is.

Chris Harris's take on the M135 versus A45

Smiley1175 · 07-17-2013, 05:58 PM

F^*k me. That's a fast car!

Alext · 07-23-2013, 05:04 AM

First dynos are coming out - 390HP AT THE CRANK! (around 340WHP to all 4 wheels). No kidding AMG said this was the worlds most powerful 4 cyl....that's as much as a TUNED N54! No wonder its quick out the box.

"Expect numbers to be around 300kW/500Nm for the all-wheel drive road warrior, and when paired to a seven-speed dual clutch auto transmission it should be fast."
