Exclusive A-Class marks victory in the constructors' and drivers' world
championship
Mercedes-AMG celebrates Formula 1 world championship title with special edition of the Mercedes-AMG A 45 4MATIC
Affalterbach. It doesn't get any better: with victory in the constructors' world
championship as well as the drivers' championship plus runner-up titles clocked
up by Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS
Formula One Team has achieved the ultimate in motorsport's champion’s league
in 2015. To mark the end of the season Mercedes-AMG is celebrating this
outstanding team achievement with an exclusive special model: the MERCEDES
AMG PETRONAS 2015 World Champion Edition of the A 45 4MATIC blends
the expressive Formula 1 look of the victorious Silver Arrows with particularly
extensive and unique equipment.
A Silver Arrow for everyday: with the ingenious streamlining package, the large
19-inch wheels and the characteristic foiling the MERCEDES AMG
PETRONAS 2015 World Champion Edition is taking the Formula 1 success
from the race track to the road. "With the World Champion Edition we would
like to share with our customers our delight and pride in the strong performance
of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team," said Tobias Moers,
CEO of Mercedes-AMG. "This is a way for every fan to share the success of
Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg."
The striking external characteristic of the exclusive edition of the A 45 is the
hallmark foiling with petrol green and black highlights in the design of the
winning
F1 W06 HYBRID super model. Then there is the ingenious streamlining
package. At the front it includes a larger splitter and special flics and there is the
roof spoiler at the tail end, also inspired by motorsport's champion’s league.
Available for selection as paintwork for the edition are mountain grey metallic,
designo mountain grey magno and polar silver metallic.

Exclusive interior with motorsport citations
The interior also radiates a racing atmosphere. The exclusive distinguishing
feature is a high-quality badge on the lid of the stowage compartment with the
official lettering of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team.
The electronically adjustable Performance sports seats in leather/DINAMICA
microfibre offer increased lateral support even in fast, dynamic bends and
immediately attract attention with their exclusive striped design. The fine petrol
green topstitching on the armrests and dashboard, the petrol green rings in the air
vents plus the seat belts, also with petrol green highlight strips, round off the
high-quality impression. The Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA
microfibre boasts petrol green topstitching and a 12 o'clock mark in the same
colour.
The MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS 2015 World Champion Edition is
celebrating its world premiere as part of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Yas
Marina on
26 November 2015 and from January 2016 it will be available for a limited time,
until May 2016. The price in Germany is 65,402.40 euros (incl. 19% VAT),
66,818.50 euros in conjunction with the designo mountain grey magno matt
paint.
With a maximum output of 280 kW (381 hp), the Mercedes-AMG A 45 4MATIC
is the most powerful compact athlete in the world. Thanks to the standard-fit
AMG Performance all-wheel drive and the front axle differential lock, the special
edition brings power to the road slip-free: 100 km/h is already reached from a
standstill in 4.2 seconds.
