Everybody is probably scratching their head and wonders where in the world did the number 45 come in to play for the CLA coupe. Is it because the engine is 4.5 liters and its a V8! Nope. Is it because the new Mercedes CLA is 450 horsepower? Close but no. So the designer has issue and want to change things up cause they wanted to be different... no! So what is it? Anybody?

The reason why the AMG version of the CLA is gonna be call the CLA 45 AMG is because It’s being tipped for the CLA45 AMG badge, honoring AMG’s 45th anniversary! Ding Ding Ding we have a winner!

So for you guys that are confuse by this just to clarify the 2014 CLA 45 AMG version, expected to debut about a year after the mainstream-model launch, reportedly packs a high-output 340-horsepower 2.0 four and could be offered with manual and/or automatic transmission.

I just hope they offer it in a manual transmission. I think that would make many people happy..

And to be honest with you

A twin turbo 2.0L 4 cylinder? How do you even twin turbo a 4 cylinder? That is just crazy! Imagine the tuning potential.
