Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S Edition 1: Limited Run for U.S. Buyers

Mercedes-AMG is set to offer U.S. customers a rare treat this spring with the limited release of just 25 Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S Edition 1 models. These exclusive vehicles feature bespoke design elements from the esteemed Mercedes atelier, MANUFAKTUR.

The Edition 1 showcases MANUFAKTUR’s exquisite Mountain Grey Magno paint, setting a striking tone. It also includes a range of desirable option packages. The AMG Night package swaps out traditional chrome accents for sleek glossy black trim. Notable exterior features include a more aggressive front splitter and rear spoiler as part of the AMG aero package. The Edition 1 rides on 19-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels finished in matte black, with bright red brake calipers adding a bold contrast.

Inside, the Edition 1 boasts AMG’s sporty optional front seats upholstered in black microfiber with striking orange stitching on the seats, door panels, dash, and center console. The Nappa leather and microfiber-wrapped steering wheel adds a luxurious touch.

Despite its focus on design, the Edition 1 doesn’t compromise on performance. Under the hood lies a hand-built AMG 2-liter turbocharged engine, delivering an impressive 416 horsepower and 369 lb. ft. of torque. Power is seamlessly transferred through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, ensuring precise and rapid shifts.

The Mercedes 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel-drive system provides exceptional handling and control. This system allows for nearly all power to be directed to either the front or rear wheels, with power distribution adjusting side-to-side based on traction. Complementing this is AMG’s torque control rear differential, which can selectively distribute power to each rear wheel, maximizing traction and performance.

With a 0-60 mph time of just 4 seconds, the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S Edition 1 combines stunning design with impressive performance, offering a thrilling driving experience that is sure to turn heads this spring.
