After a brief period last year where the Audi RS3 stole its belt, the Mercedes-AMG A45 has returned from the gym with bigger biceps to reclaim the title of “Most Powerful Hyper Hatch”.
Now flexing a beastly 280kW of power and 475Nm of axle-twisting torque from its tiddly 2.0 litre turbo four, the A45 has a level of brawn that’s disproportionate to its stature. A jockey with a power-lifter’s strength? That’s not a bad analogy.
It’s not all about muscle though. For 2016 AMG has hopped-up the A45’s driveline and suspension to give it an added edge, and what better place to test the whole shebang than a race track?
