Since its inception in 2020, the AMG A45 S 4Matic+ has maintained its status as the reigning champion of hot hatches worldwide, boasting unparalleled power and performance. Now, Mercedes-Benz introduces the eagerly anticipated ‘Limited Edition’ model, elevating the iconic hatchback to new heights with exclusive features and a distinctive exterior hue paying homage to the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, also known as the Green Hell.
At the heart of this special edition lies the captivating ‘AMG Green Hell Magno’ paint finish, previously reserved for the prestigious AMG GT series but now making its debut in the compact segment. Enhanced by striking yellow accents and bespoke graphics, including bold racing stripes and the iconic AMG crest adorning the hood, this vibrant green exudes an aura of dynamism and excitement. The signature 19-inch forged wheels, finished in matte black with flashes of yellow on the spokes, further amplify the car's aggressive stance, while gloss black brake calipers with white AMG lettering add a touch of sophistication.
Inside, the A45 S Limited Edition exudes luxury and sportiness in equal measure. The cabin features Artico man-made leather and Microcut microfiber upholstery, accentuated by vivid yellow stitching and piping that perfectly complement the multi-color ambient lighting. Additional touches such as the AMG emblem on the fuel cap and the illuminating “AMG Coat of Arms” puddle lights enhance the sense of exclusivity and refinement.
True to AMG's legacy of customization, the Limited Edition offers a range of optional packages to suit individual preferences. The AMG Night Package introduces high-gloss black accents and dark-tinted windows for a sleek, menacing look, while the AMG Night Package II adds further darkened trim and Mercedes stars to accentuate the vehicle's sporty profile. For enthusiasts seeking enhanced aerodynamics, the AMG Aerodynamics Package incorporates advanced elements like the fixed rear wing, optimizing performance on the track.
Beneath its captivating exterior, the A45 S Limited Edition retains its formidable powertrain unchanged. The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers an exhilarating 416 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, propelling the hatchback from 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the advanced AMG Performance 4Matic+ system, the A45 S offers unrivaled agility and control, ensuring an adrenaline-fueled driving experience.
Available for order in Europe with a market launch scheduled for April 2024, the Mercedes-AMG A45 S 4Matic+ Limited Edition commands an additional €14,280 ($15,298) over the standard model. With production limited to a select number of units, prospective buyers are advised to secure their exclusive piece of automotive excellence before the year's end. As with all special editions from Mercedes-AMG, the A45 S Limited Edition promises to redefine the boundaries of performance and luxury, setting a new standard for hot hatches everywhere.
