The first official photos of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG have leaked online ahead of its debut at the New York Auto Show next week. The CLA 45 AMG is basically a four-door coupe version of the A45 AMG hatchback that we will not receive here in the US.
The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG will be powered by the same turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine as the A45 AMG, which means it will pack 360 horsepower and 332 lb-ft. of torque. The A45 AMG reaches 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, so you can expect the CLA 45 AMG to be somewhere around that time as well.
Stay tuned for all the details from the show next week!
I know most of you won't say this, but for a luxury commuter car, this thing has my vote.

Well, if we can't have the A 45 at least we can have the CLA 45.
A consolation prize I can live with.
Still, while I think it's great, I would want to know the gas mileage.
If it only gets 23/28 MPG, big deal. A 335i gets better than that.

Its basically a baby CLS; a good thing. My head hits the A-pillar of a CLS....I shudder to think what ingress/egress is for the CLA for those of us over 6ft.

Only one way to find out: Go drive it and report back to us on it

The wait is over! Mercedes-Benz has taken the wraps off the hot version of the 2014 CLA, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG. Looking like a scaled down CLS63 AMG, the smaller CLA45 AMG follows in its big brothers footsteps and is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine with 355 horsepower and 332 lb-ft. of torque. With that much power on tap, the CLA45 AMG's engine is the most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder production engine.
The turbocharged 2.0L engine is mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. The CLA45 AMG four-door coupe will reach 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and has an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph.
The 2014 CLA45 AMG will arrive in November starting at $47,450.
I'm surprised by the 4, that that thing sounds like fun!
