Watch The Mercedes-AMG A45S Hit Its Maximum Speed Limiter on The Autobahn

It boasts a four-cylinder, 416-horsepower engine.

Mercedes has put a lot of effort over the years to allow its AMG performance brand, to flourish throughout its range. For those with the means to afford the three-pointed star, the German automaker offers many performance options. It’s now easier than ever for AMG models to be driven, with the A45 being just one example.

Another video from AutoTopNL shows a Mercedes AMG A45 S hitting Germany’s famous Autobahn. It does a few top speed runs, reaching speeds of up to 168 mph (270 km/h) when equipped with the AMG Driver’s Pack. When the roads are clear, the car can reach that speed without any problems.

More power!

It’s not supercar fast, but it does have supercar power. Mercedes’ turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder engine is what powers the A45. It is available in the S version. 416 horsepower (310 Kilowatts) & 369 pound-feet (3500 Newton-meters). It is claimed by Mercedes to be the most powerful four-cylinder production engine ever. The power is transmitted to the wheels by the 8-speed dual-clutch, automatic gearbox and 4Matic+ all wheel-drive system. The A45 can run at speeds up to 168 mph electronically. This is impressive for a turbocharged four-cylinder car. The AMG line continues its respectable performance in a wide range of vehicles. Although it’s a departure from V8 and V12 engines which put the brand on the map but the industry has changed, we now have a Mercedes-Benz of 400+ horsepower that isn’t astronomically priced.
