Celebrating more than half a century of the start of Mercedes-AMG, the German brand has decided to offer the A35 and CLA 35 models with a special Edition 55 equipment package.

Both models now come with an AMG aerodynamic package that improves driving dynamics and performance, including front-end changes, a larger front splitter and a large rear wing, while side lip spoilers complete the sporty look of the hatchback and four-door coupe. There’s also a Night kit that includes black glossy body details, spoilers, radiator grille, air intakes, mirrors, but also new exhaust pipe finishes.

AMG offers two body colors Cosmos Black Metallic and Digital White Metallic, while the interior is adorned with a combination of black and red leather.

When it comes to the powertrain, there have been no changes. The cars will be powered by a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 302 hp (222 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The A35 reaches 62 mph in 4.5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h). The Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 reaches 62 mph in 5 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).
