in a way im not surprised, power to weight ratio on these cars are close, CLS is a PIG. Although the A45 AMG goes as fast as a CLS63 AMG in the 1/4 mile, there are just so many things that set these cars apart aside from performance

That gives the A45 AMG even more braggin rights lol taking downa beast of a car like that CLS.

I wonder how much of a difference it would be just if it had raced a non-wagon CLS63 AMG. we are probably talking tenths of seconds.

Even the regular CLS63 AMG's are heavy and would probably do just as bad, I have no hope in it. Starting to think how it does against the S63. I know an E63 and C63 will smoke it easily.

hmmm interesting so the CLA 45 and A45 AMG will be a 12 second car

You got that right.

I find that with a car that's classified as "fast", 12 seconds is in the range of a good 1/4 mile time, anything less than that will make it seem like less of a fast and sporty car.

Can't wait to see tuners get CLA45 AMG's up to 10 seconds

That is just stupid fast for a production car. But it would be interesting to see how the engine responds to the modifications.

MB and german car makers in general are known for building strong engines but at times unreliable engines, but how strong they are when it comes to modifications makes up for how unreliable they can be. Going off of MB's history and what I know about the engine, i'd say we have a strong engine here.
