The Champion Edition echoes the winning F1 car with a silver, black, and green paint job. It also gains an edition-specific front bumper with a splitter and downforce-enhancing fins, a huge roof-mounted spoiler, and 19-inch alloys inspired by the wheels that the winning F1 car rides on.
The cabin is spruced up with bucket seats for the front passengers, a sport steering wheel, and green contrast stitching on the seat belts, the dashboard, and the center console. All Champion Editions come loaded to the gills with equipment such as the AMG Dynamic Plus Package, which bundles a mechanical locking differential on the front axle, and an adjustable sport suspension with a race mode.
The modifications stop in the engine bay. The Champion Edition is powered by a stock, A45-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that uses a turbocharger to produce 381 horsepower and 350 lb-ft. of torque. Bolted to a seven-speed automatic transmission that spins all four wheels, the turbo four sends the A45 from zero to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed that’s electronically limited to 155 mph.
The Mercedes-AMG A45 Champion Edition will go on sale in Germany next January with a base price of €65,402, a sum that converts to nearly $70,000. Buyers who want one need to act quick, because AMG will only take orders until the following May.
