While the AMG A45 S is missed-out in the United States, in Europe, there are plenty of young people, women in particular, that are crazy about the hot hatchback, which is considered one of the coolest, sexiest and most attractive ever made. And powerful, too.
This is the reason why a lot of tuning companies are on a constant hunt when it comes to customizing the model. One of them is the well-known tuning company from Florida, Renntech, which recently had the chance to grab the model and play with it. And that thanks to a customer who recently went to Germany and bought it as a gift to his wife and then brought it to the company`s location in the US.
The exterior doesn’t show serious signs of customizations, however, it did receive new front and rear bumpers and wider alloy wheels. At the rear however, one can observe the massive double downpipes which announce impressive engine soundtrack and increased power.
Speaking of a more impressive engine revving, the standard exhaust system has received a remote-control exhaust valve module that enables “the exhaust valve to be fully opened in all driving modes.” However, the work on the exhaust system is still in progress, as the tuner would eventually install a new one with an upgraded catalytic converter.
As shown in the pictures below, the aftermarket specialists from Renntech have tested out the new power of the Mercedes-AMG A45 S. If in stock form, the hot hatchback develops no less than 416 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, squeezed from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged M139 engine, in upgraded form, this little beast is capable of more.
As the tuner declared, at least two power stages are available for this gorgeous model; at least two, for the moment.
The first stage revolves around 475 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of tor que, thanks to an engine software update. The second stage will be available in the first quarter of the year with figures to stand at 550 horsepower, that achieved thanks to modified turbocharger and upgraded exhaust system. Still to come, there might be a third power stage, with around 600 horsepower, which is mind-blowing for the Mercedes-AMG A45 S.
With the first power stage alone, the Mercedes-AMG A45 S by Renntech is said to achieve a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.9 seconds. Imagine what it would do with no less than 600 horsepower on-board. Surely, we will hear more about the tuner`s impressive power program on this exquisite hot hatchback.
Even if the model is only available in Europe, the closest thing to the model that the US customers can enjoy, is the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45, which features the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged M139 banger; however, it comes with less power than the A45 S on the Old Continent. Even so, both model share visual characteristics and technology on-board.
Until further info will emerge, enjoy the media gallery that the tuner has released with the bold project on the Mercedes-AMG A45 S! Also, don’t forget to tell us if you like the model and would want to have it in the United States!
