[Mercedes Benz CLA]

That figure and its 331 lb-ft of torque makes the 2.0-litre turbo the most powerful production four-cylinder in the world, but it still promises 40 mpg with a light right foot. Mercedes is using all kinds of modern engine technologies in order to achieve 181 horses per liter, including spray-guided direct fuel injection, multi spark ignition, a gravity-die sandcast all-aluminium crankcase, forged steel crankshaft and pistons with friction-optimized piston rings, NANOSLIDE cylinder wall technology and air-water charge air cooling.

a 4 cylinder that puts out 331 lb-ft or torque and gets 40 MPG's is crazy!
so far mercedes is on the right path to taking over the compact luxury sedan segment, i just hope the CLA 45 AMG is priced right.

i think so far for this 4 cylinder it has the most horsepower poer liter at the moment but that with the help of the turbo, i just wonder how much horsepower it would be without the forced induction. And he did say "light" right foot hahaha. I think the CLA 45 AMG would be on the expensive side along side with the other AMGs but its not out of reach.

the 40mpg really throws me off. Does boost just never kick in?
