Specification
The full sheet
A hand-built 421 hp 2.0L turbo — the most powerful four-cylinder in production — in a pocket-rocket AMG. Ferocious pace and all-wheel-drive grip for the KL streets.
Power-to-price framing
Mercedes-AMG A45 S carries 421 bhp at roughly RM 3.1 per horsepower per day. Forced induction means peak torque arrives low and stays flat, so overtakes happen in whatever gear you are already in. All-wheel drive puts it down cleanly, which matters more than the power figure on a wet Federal Highway.

Held on your card, not charged. It scales with what this car costs to repair rather than with what it costs to rent — a forged wheel and a bespoke tyre size are the reason the figure looks like that.

About Mercedes-AMG
Affalterbach builds engines first and cars around them second.
AMG began as two Mercedes engineers running a tuning shop out of an old mill in Grossaspach, and the culture never really changed. The division's defining principle — one man, one engine, with the builder's signature plate on the cam cover — still applies to the hand-assembled units, and it explains why an AMG feels different from a fast Mercedes. The chassis is usually a Mercedes chassis reworked. The engine is the whole point.

† RM / bhp is the daily self-drive rate divided by the manufacturer’s brake horsepower, to one decimal. It is a blunt instrument — it ignores tyre width, kerb weight and where the torque actually lives — and it is still the fastest way to see what a badge is charging you. Power bars are scaled against 443 bhp.
