Engine: 2.0L Handcrafted Inline-4 (M139)
The heart of the A 45 S is the M139 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, the most powerful four-cylinder in series production. It produces a staggering 421 hp (310 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. The engine is rotated 180 degrees compared to standard A-Class units, allowing the turbocharger and exhaust manifold to sit at the rear (near the firewall) for better aerodynamics and shorter air ducting.
Acceleration and Speed: 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
The A 45 S delivers blistering acceleration, hitting 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. While standard German performance cars are capped at 250 km/h, the A 45 S comes standard with a top speed of 270 km/h. It features RACE START (launch control) for consistent, high-traction getaways.
