The Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 S is changing. The next generation will take the CLA 45 into the electric age, bringing more power, more motors and frankly ridiculous performance. But before that happens, we thought the petrol-powered CLA 45s in its final edition deserved a proper send-off.
So we took its 310kW, 500Nm to one of South Africa’s greatest driving roads. Three and a half hours of open road, one gloriously twisty mountain pass and one last chance to let AMG’s wildest little four-cylinder sing. This is the final burn the way Jordan intended.
