M139

Post by IanF »

New Mercedes engine - 1991cc, 416bhp, 369lb ft & 7200 max rev. Going in the new A45 AMG first. That’s some healthy motor! 🤯
Cheers,

Ian

Current one is the most ridiculous sounding car on sale today IMO (not in a good way!). I wonder if this will sound any less silly. Sounds like they've tried to change the characteristics of it so maybe there is hope.

Wait for joe public to moan that you have to rev it a lot to get the most out of it :lol:
How about not having a sig at all?

Wonder what the longevity is like? Bearing in mind they'll spend the first 3 years of their life not being serviced correctly and revving in town centre carparks.

2 bhp more than my Audi. That's really quite mental.

Maybe, but I know which I'd rather have. Numbers aren't everything 😉
