奔驰正准备推出A级改款车,而A45 AMG顶级款动力将获得进一步提升。虽然最近A45 AMG输出功率刚刚被奥迪RS3 Sportback超越——后者搭载一台2.5升五缸涡轮增压引擎，功率270千瓦/367马力，扭矩465牛米——但奔驰-AMG CEO Tobias Moers表示，将于今年秋季发布的新款A45 AMG将再次成为同级车中功率最强劲车型。虽然这位高管拒绝透露细节，但预计该车功率将达到280千瓦/380马力，百公里加速时间4.5秒，最高时速250公里。除了引擎升级外，预计该车外观也将改进，将采用独特格栅，以便能与A级其他车型有所区别。

 

Facelifted Mercedes A45 AMG to get a power boost

Mercedes is preparing a minor facelift for the A-Class and a new report is indicating we can expect a higher performance A45 AMG as a result.

 

While the model was recently outgunned by the Audi RS3 Sportback - which has a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that develops 367 PS (362 bhp / 270 kW) and 465 Nm (342 lb-ft) of torque - Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers recently confirmed the facelifted A45 AMG will be introduced this fall and "be the most powerful again".

 

The executive declined to go into specifics but Autocar is reporting the output could climb to approximately 380 PS (375 bhp / 280 kW). If this number pans out, the hatchback could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

 

Besides the upgraded engine, the A45 AMG is expected to gain a unique grille which will further differentiate it from other sporty A-Class variants.
