Mercedes' in-house tuning arm Brabus has got to work on a performance pack for the GLA crossover range. Available for various petrol and diesel powered models, the pack boosts both bhp and torque as well as adding bespoke 21-inch alloy wheels and aerodynamic exterior tweaks.

With the conversion fitted to the range-topping GLA 45 AMG, power swells from 355bhp to 394bhp. With torque increasing to 500Nm, four tenths are shaved from the 0-62mph time which drops to 4.4 seconds. The rest of the GLA range sees power rise by around 40bhp.

Now I do really like the look of this. Not a massive fan of the big rear spoiler and would prefer a more subtle one but everything else looks great.

I still don't get why this (And the A class) are called "45" when they are only 2.0 litre.?

 

[Dan]

it isn't called the 45 because of engine size like other AMG's.
It's 45 because it has been 45 years since AMG released a 4 cylinder engine model...
