AMG was certainly up to the challenge of turning the somewhat milquetoast CLA into a speed demon. It's still cramped inside, but this version of the CLA lays down some righteous acceleration.
Find yourself wishing that the already quite fast AMG CLA 35 were faster? Enter the AMG CLA 45 S, which borrows its turbocharged and electrically assisted 2.0-liter inline-4 from its AMG C43 big brother. If you wanted to argue that 416 hp in a subcompact sedan is overkill, we wouldn't disagree, but people who buy this car will love that its engine output borders on the insane.
