In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, 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 and engineers who live to test limits, and 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 0-100 in 5.2 seconds. ^{Disclaimer[1]}

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[2]}

The double-wishbone 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 350mm perforated discs. Red calipers are an even racier option. ^{Disclaimer[4]}

The latest 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.
