The people at AMG are hard at work with the development of the most potent model of the newly revealed Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchback. Rumored to be named either the A 25 AMG or A 45 AMG, the hot hatch could make its world premiere as early as this fall at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.
Power will come from a heavily modified version of the A 250's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, which is rated at 208hp (211PS). According to sources, in the AMG model, the four-cylinder unit is believed to deliver anywhere from 320hp to as much as 350-horsepower.
In order for the top A-Class model to put all those horses on the road in a civilized manner, it will be fitted with a new all-wheel drive system and a revised chassis with bespoke suspension, steering and braking systems as well as wider performance tires.
