Mercedes-AMG A 45 S

The Mercedes-AMG A 45 S reaches 60 mph in 3.44 s (100 km/h in 3.62 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 11.78 s, tripping the lights at 118.6 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.86 s and the eighth mile in 7.61 s, reaching 100 mph in 8.22 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the A 45 S

The 2020 Mercedes-AMG A 45 S is an all-wheel-drive turbocharged car of 1,550 kg with 416 bhp, which works out at 268 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.86 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 582nd quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest five per cent, and the 12th quickest of the 63 Mercedes-AMGs here. Its 118.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 4 of 4 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-AMG A 45 S reaches 60 mph in 3.44 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 582nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S quarter mile time?
11.78 s at 118.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.61 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S have?
416 bhp and 1,550 kg, which is 268 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 270 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S?
Closest here on pace: Lotus Emira Turbo SE (3.46 s), Alpina B4 S Biturbo Coupé AWD (3.47 s), Alpine A110 R Ultime (3.40 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-AMG A 45 S is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 4 of its 4 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
