It was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015 . The car is built on the basis of the new generation A3. Until the updated Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG , it was the most powerful hatchback in the world [3] , with a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder 367-horsepower engine. This power was obtained, in part, thanks to the new turbocharger, which creates a pressure of 1.3 bar (1.2 bar for the previous generation), acceleration to 100 km / h takes 4.3 seconds and to a maximum speed of 250 km / h, but for a surcharge, the limit can be raised to 280 km / h
The car is equipped with a semi-automatic S Tronic gearbox with dual clutch and paired with a Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. [4] Despite the fact that the size has increased compared to the previous generation, the car is 55 kg lighter, and for better weight distribution, the battery and the interaxle clutch are located at the rear, by the way, the clutch is 1.4 kg lighter compared to the standard all-wheel drive A3. As an option, you can get carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive suspension with magnetic damping.
