Mercedes-AMG is sending off its beloved CLA 45 S 4MATIC+ Coupé and Shooting Brake models in the most fitting way possible — with a bold, performance-packed “Final Edition” that merges engineering excellence with visual drama. Available to order now and until the end of 2025, this special edition marks the last chapter in the CLA 45 S lineage before Mercedes-AMG turns the page on its compact high-performance portfolio.
A Proper Send-Off for a Compact Supercar
Under the sculpted bonnet remains the crown jewel of AMG’s compact class: the handcrafted M139 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing a staggering 310 kW (421 hp) and 500 Nm of torque. As the most powerful series-production four-cylinder in the world, it launches both models from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 270 km/h. The engine, built in Affalterbach under AMG’s revered “One Man, One Engine” philosophy, exemplifies the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and performance.
Power is sent to all four wheels via the lightning-quick AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission, paired with AMG’s fully variable Performance 4MATIC+ system and torque vectoring via AMG TORQUE CONTROL. Whether you’re chasing apexes or unleashing drift mode, this compact AMG leaves nothing to be desired.
Visual Drama with Edition-Specific Details
The “Final Edition” doubles down on exterior exclusivity. Available in either MANUFAKTUR mountain grey magno or night black uni, it boasts eye-catching decals featuring large “45 S” lettering and yellow AMG logos on the mirrors. Matte black 19-inch AMG forged wheels with yellow rim flanges and bespoke yellow AMG wheel hub covers underscore the model’s extroverted character.
The AMG Night Package and Night Package II are standard fare here, blacking out mirror housings, window trim, grille struts and badges. Meanwhile, buyers craving enhanced performance can opt for the AMG Aerodynamics Package, which adds a suite of wind-tunnel-honed features — from an enlarged front splitter to a bold rear diffuser — all in high-gloss black.
Interior: Black and Yellow Precision
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a dark, motorsport-inspired cabin brightened by vibrant yellow accents. The AMG Performance seats are wrapped in a mix of ARTICO man-made leather and MICROCUT microfibre, with contrast yellow stitching and “45 S” embroidery. The same yellow detailing is echoed throughout the door panels, dash, and AMG floor mats.
A special “Final Edition” emblem adorns the centre console, while the AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather and MICROCUT, complete with yellow stitching and aluminium trim, provides the ideal connection between driver and machine. Illuminated AMG door sills with yellow logos and pattern detailing elevate the premium feel even further.
A Rare Opportunity
This is more than just a limited trim level; the CLA 45 S “Final Edition” is a celebration of one of AMG’s most revered compact models. As the automotive industry moves towards electrification and downsizing, it may be one of the last opportunities for enthusiasts to experience a truly visceral, combustion-powered AMG in this form.
With ordering open until the end of 2025 and deliveries commencing upon order confirmation, the clock is ticking for those who want to own a piece of AMG history — finished in black and yellow, and powered by one of the most thrilling four-cylinders ever built.
