AMG A45 v Tuned CLA 45: DRAG RACE *Shock Result*

.............................................................

It’s time for the AMG A45 S to go head to head with the AMG CLA 45 S!

Now you might think that this is a bit of an odd drag race, given both of these cars are effectively just the same but in different bodies, right? Well that’s where you’re wrong!

First up we have Mat in the AMG A45. It’s powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder engine to deliver 421hp and 500Nm of torque. It also weighs in at 1,635kg.

Alongside him we have the CLA. However, it’s had £800 worth of Stage 1 upgrades, and as a result its 2-litre 4 cylinder produces 490hp & 660Nm of torque. It also weighs in slightly heavier, at 1,675kg.

So how do you think it’ll play out? Will the wet track stop the CLA from properly putting its power down? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Day 52 of asking for a bicycle drag race between mat and yianni

[TheGamingSenpaiYT]

Mat: "all day everyday"
Yianni: "AlL dAy EvErYdAy"😂

[ThemDotcomBoyz]

The editor is just trolling at this moment 😂

"This thing launched like a demon"

Mat: :-D

Dodge: :-|

As a tuner myself, i remember when we were frowned upon. Is good to see people like mat who understands what a GOOD, reliable tune can do for your car.

[Raveyboi]

In my opinion it's just insane that nowadays you can get 497HP out of a 4c 2.0l engine just by Stage 1 on a street car. Like holy shit, this is more than DTM race cars manage to pull out of these tiny engines. Shows how far we've come technology-wise! :D

1:31 for a second, I thought it was Yianni in the CLA lol

[CARSHOPcambodia]

Mat: "So what exactly happened"

Kinda was expecting that Yianni clip

[adamdead]

11.96 in the wet for a 4 cylinder hot hatch is just mental 😱

[pizaantadiwala]

The only thing left is for them to bring frikkin boats on these drag strips and race em(the puddles are massive)

That CLA is just gorgeous, especially in that spec. The view at 1:01 is just amazing.

[Daimon]

Been waiting a while for you guys to get the CLA45 in a video.

During heavy rain, the CLA can also be turned upside down and used with paddles.

Almost spat my water out at 0:48 seconds 😂
