Mercedes-Benz A32K AMG 2002

What some rich folks do with their money.....

Yes ladies and gentlemen of GTplanet. I give you world's only "true" AMG A-class. A32K AMG.
This is not a tuner-modified Garden Shed special. It's not photoshopped. In fact, this car does exist somewhere in Europe; commissioned by a rich bloke who originally wanted to stuff a V8 under the bonnet...only to realize that there's no space. So he went with next best thing: motor from SLK32 AMG. Modified of course.

Power: 370 BHP @ 6100rpm
Torque: 332 ft lbs @ 4400rpm
0 - 100 kph: around 5 seconds
Top speed: estimated 155 mph/ 250kph.
Weight: surprise, surprise, 3671 lbs/ 1665kg (now that's heavy for a A-class)

Wanna buy it? Sorry bud. Only one was made. And it will stay that way.

That would be fun to take this one for a spin at Nurburgring.
Fasten seatbelts!

It is an great idea: The Classe A which we have in the game is the A160 Avantgrade'98. In this case, this is an sportive version of Classe A, therefore it will have an competition against the A160 if PD plans to put this car in GT7. Voted.

Ah, so the A45 AMG wasn't the first AMG A-class after all. I'm definitely voting for this! 👍

I hope that it won't fall like that A class on a simple test

I believe this was done by HWA, which has close ties with AMG (they prepare the DTM cars). It would be labeled as an HWA, no?

.......Hmm. a good queston. I'll do some "research" and get back to ya in a min.

Confused at why PD put in the slow-as-heck A160 Avantgarde instead of this car. Wouldn't you rather 370 horsepower and a more stylish exterior than 102 horsepower and a boring exterior?

.........My guess is that, since the real car cost a rumored 300,000 Euros to build, it might have cost more than a Ferrari.....who in their right mind would pay that much for a Merc A class???

............As for the name, I'm not 100% certain - maybe it should be called M-B A32K AMG by HWA 2002 - BUT!! HWA merely "built" it, not fabricate any new greasy bits , soooo......

Dang it, now I'm not so sure 'bout it anymore. @Famine, help!

Not me, but who in their right mind would look forward to buying the 102 horsepower, boring looking A160 Avantgarde when their is 1,198 other cars too choose from?

And 300,000 euros is around $500,000 US dollars, I think.
