Mercedes-AMG A35 May Debut This Year

Mercedes-Benz revealed the new generation A-Class earlier this month, with a promise that the 4th generation A-Class will come with new technology to be seen in future Mercedes models. Within days, reports suggest that the company has already started working on the performance version of the hatchback, as the AMG A35 will come with a more refined and tuned up power to match up to its AMG credentials. Meaning, the A35 AMG variant will pack in around 330 bhp of max power and 450 NM of peak torque and if rumors are to be believed, the petrol mill will be combined with a hybrid motor. The AMG A35 will, however, see the day of light later this year.
