Mercedes A45 AMG Hamilton Rosberg Video

With the Mercedes A45 AMG heading for Mercedes showrooms, MB are upping the promotion with a new video promo featuring F1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

The new Mercedes A45 AMG looks immensely promising, with the decent looks of the regular new A Class but with an added degree of aggression dialled in to its looks, and a very appealing lump under the bonnet.

That lump is a 2.0 litre turbo 4-cylinder that produces a not insignificant 355bhp and 332lb/ft of torque, which is enough to get the pocket rocket A45 to 62mph in a competition busting 4.6 seconds.

And with the A45 AMG heading towards Mercedes showrooms soon, MB are bust promoting their new hot hatch, and what better way to do that than rope in your own highly paid F1 drivers to add a bit of performance gloss?

So Mercedes has put Lewis Hamilton behind the wheel of an A45, Nico Rosberg in the passenger seat and a ‘Good Fairy’ in the road to sort out arguments about who should get to drive.

It’s all a bit of nonsense, but it’s a high profile bit of nonsense that will at least get potential buyers to equate the A45 with real performance.

The new Mercedes A45 AMG is about ready to order from Mercedes UK Dealers. It’s going to prove popular.
