In an old mill in 1967, two engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers, engineers and racers who live for a singular goal: Driving Performance.

A 2.0L turbo-4 gives passionate response with a sense of responsibility. Twin-scroll turbos pump up the GLA 35 to 302 hp, while a 48-volt Hybrid Starter-Generator add electric torque of its own, all good for 0-60 in 5.1 seconds. ^{Disclaimer[5]}

AMG Performance 4MATIC computes driving inputs, speed and g-forces so its electromechanical clutch packs can send torque to the tires that can use it best, from changing seasons to twisting back roads. ^{Disclaimer[6]}

The strut-multilink front/multilink rear suspension combines rigidity, versatility and lightness. Standard 3-stage AMG RIDE CONTROL® can adapt each wheel's damping in milliseconds.

Racing-bred AMG high-performance brakes feature silver-painted 4-piston front calipers grasping 13.8-inch perforated discs. ^{Disclaimer[7]}

The AMG Performance steering wheel features capacitive touch controls, shift paddles and twin spokes. You can have its thick, flat-bottom rim trimmed in Nappa leather, or Nappa with microfiber side grips.
