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

I like the sound of that - it actually revs!

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.

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.

Ridiculous number. Will murder my GT3 :(

I guess that’s progress.

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

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