Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Edition 1

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG hopes to be the perfect combination of German engineering and luxury, while remaining at a very reasonable price. The exterior has been modified by a glossy black rear spoiler, graphite grey side stripes, matte black 19-inch alloy wheels and red accents on the grille, mirror and wheels. The interior features ARTICO/DINAMICA sport seats, a leather/DINAMICA-wrapped steering wheel, red contrast stitching, an ARTICO-wrapped dashboard and special AMG floor mats. The Edition 1 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that provides 360 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. The engine sees a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and an all-wheel drive system that enables the CLA 45 AMG Edition 1 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds.

The Sunday Drive

Porsche has unveiled the 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S, two rear-engine monsters that make the 40th anniversary of the 911 a memorable one. It looks great and the performance numbers are phenomenal. The turbocharged, 3.8-liter flat-six engine makes use of twin, variable-turbine-geometry turbos. For the standard Turbo, we’re talking output of 520 horsepower, a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph. Porsche’s Turbo S delivers 560 horsepower, 0-60 mph in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph. Porsche’s seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox handles everything and helps the Turbo deliver a Nürburgring time of under 7 and a half minutes. The wide body design for this generation of Turbo is really something else. It’s 1.1-inches wider than a Carrera 4 with hugely flared rear fenders. The Turbo S stands out with its standard full-LED headlight.Look out for a deployable, three-stage front spoiler, and a three-way rear wing.

Look for more details around the Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S in the months ahead, though here’s a price breakdown — Turbo model will start at $149,250, while the Turbo S will go for $182,050. First look video from Porsche below.
