Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the CLA 45 S Final Edition, a limited-run masterpiece that sets new benchmarks for compact luxury performance. With only 15 units reserved for South Africa, this exclusive edition combines high-octane engineering with meticulously crafted design elements, ensuring it stands apart in the four-door coupé segment.
At the heart of the CLA 45 S Final Edition is the AMG 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine, the most powerful of its kind in series production worldwide. Producing 310 kW and 500 Nm of torque, it propels the coupé from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 270 km/h. Each engine is hand-assembled at Affalterbach under the ‘one man, one engine’ philosophy, ensuring precision and attention to detail in every powerplant.
The driving experience is further elevated by the eight-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission and the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system. AMG TORQUE CONTROL distributes power wheel by wheel, offering everything from maximum traction to thrilling drift modes, creating an agile, responsive, and unmistakably AMG driving sensation.
Striking Design, Dark Elegance
The Final Edition is presented in exclusive Night Black paint, accentuated by bold decals, AMG logos in yellow, and matte black 19-inch forged AMG wheels with laurel wreath-inspired hub covers. Gloss black brake callipers, a silver chrome fuel-filler cap, and AMG Night Package elements enhance the visual impact, ensuring the car makes a statement from every angle. AMG-specific touches like the radiator grille with vertical struts, sharp headlights, and sculpted rear aprons tie the CLA 45 S directly to the performance family, while the Night Package II provides additional high-class detailing for discerning drivers.
A Sporty, Bespoke Interior
Inside, the Final Edition impresses with a combination of ARTICO leather and black MICROCUT microfibre upholstery, accented with vivid yellow topstitching across seats, door panels, and the instrument panel. AMG Performance seats feature embroidered “45 S” logos, while the centre console proudly displays the “45 S Final Edition” emblem. The AMG Performance steering wheel, door sills, and floor mats continue the theme of yellow highlights against black detailing, reflecting the car’s exclusive and sporty character.
Availability and Pricing
