    The Mercedes-AMG A35 4MATIC Is Official And It Packs 301 HP (225 kW)

    After many teasers and even a full leak last night, the entry-level AMG model known as the A35 4MATIC has officially been revealed in a bright yellow.

    It is set to take on the likes of the Audi S3 and Volkswagen Golf R when it lands at South African dealerships in the third quarter of next year and this is thanks to it’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo petrol making 301 hp (225 kW) of power and 400 Nm of torque.

    It is connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a performance-oriented all-wheel drive system which allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Stopping power comes from 350mm front and 330mm rear brake discs, with silver four-piston front and single-piston rear calipers respectively. The discs are internally ventilated and perforated, too.

    Since it is a proper Mercedes-AMG model, there have been upgrades other than engine with the A35 receiving additional braces and an aluminium plate to increase torsional stiffness up front.

    Elsewhere, engineers installed an AMG Ride Control suspension which uses lightweight aluminium components, an AMG-specific front steering knuckle and a handful of goodies lifted from the A45. Customers will also have the option of ordering an Adaptive Damping System with three different modes. Other performance changes include a sports steering system, an AMG exhaust and an assortment of special settings including a new “Slippery” mode for the AMG Dynamic Select System.

    As you would expect, the A35 has plenty in common with the regular A-Class AMG line but this hot version sports a unique grille, flics and a front splitter. The car has also been equipped with a sportier rear bumper and a large spoiler. Other special touches include a new diffuser and 18-inch lightweight alloy wheels.

    Inside you will be greeted with a flat-bottomed steering wheel, microfiber accents and red contrast stitching. There will also be an assortment of AMG-specific settings and options for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
