Natrax is every petrolhead’s recent obsession, hosting some fantastic events lately. And when Mercedes Benz India sent us an invite, we couldn’t hold our horses back. Every time we get an opportunity to be at the world’s fifthlargest automotive testing facility, it really gets the adrenaline pumping. This time, the feeling was nothing different. All kinds of fireworks started cracking within our heads when we learned about the pocket rocket, AMG A45 S, which was waiting for us at the NATRAX.

Strengthening its performance portfolio in India, Mercedes Benz dropped the world’s most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine series production car, the AMG A45S. This is supposedly the fastest hatchback you can buy in our country. Setting high standards for design innovation and performance and living up to its “Driving Performance” brand motto.

This fast machine, also called “Hot Hatch”, got us intrigued the moment we saw it in the flesh. It is tuned for out-and-out exhilarating performance. The Mercedes Benz AMG A45S is completely re-imagined with a reinforced body shell, a high-performance engine with a variety of driving modes and redesigned suspension setup which combine together to give you an enthralling experience every time you get behind the wheel.

HOW EYE-CATCHY IS IT?
