2020 Mercedes-AMG 35 Junior Performance Sedan Has 302 HP, Does 0-60 In 4.7 Sec


We knew it was coming and here it is; the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic. The German car manufacturer says it will target younger buyers with the A 35 Sedan, much like its hatchback sibling.

Like the hatchback, the A 35 Sedan is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 302 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. All of this power is sent to the ground courtesy of an AMG Speedshift 7G dual-clutch transmission and advanced 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. The A 35 Sedan can hit 96 km/h (60 mph)in 4.7 seconds and tops out at a limited 250 km/h (155 mph).


Much like the hatchback, the new Mercedes-AMG A 35 Sedan can be differentiated from other A-Class Sedan models thanks to some sporty components. Among these changes include a front splitter with silver chrome trim elements and a set of 18-inch alloy wheels. Mercedes-AMG also outfits the car with the AMG Line side skirts, a trunk lid lip spoiler, rear diffuser, and dual tailpipes.

Customers can tweak the exterior of the A 35 Sedan to their taste through the AMG Aerodynamics Package and AMG Night Package, the first of which includes some small aero add-ons. As for the AMG Night Package, it incorporates black design elements. 19-inch alloy wheels are also optional.


Inside, the punchy sedan comes equipped with the latest AMG steering wheel that incorporates a flattened lower section and a perforated leather grip area. There is also red contrasting topstitching and galvanized steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Additionally, there is also a small selectable drive programme controller mounted to the wheel. Elsewhere, the A 35 Sedan comes complete with the same MBUX infotainment system as all latest-generation A-Class models. This system combines a fully digital gauge cluster with a large infotainment screen.

Drivers will have five selectable drive programmes at their fingertips; Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport +, and Individual. These different modes alter key parameters including the response of the engine and transmission. Most of these modes speak for themselves with Individual perhaps being the most interesting. This mode allows drivers to select individual parameters to suit their preferences.


Helping to ensure the sedan can brake just as well as it accelerates, Mercedes-AMG has fitted 4-piston monoblock fixed calipers with 350 mm discs at the front. The rear incorporates single piston calipers and 330 mm discs.

The Mercedes-AMG A35 Sedan can also be optioned with the AMG Ride Control system, allowing drivers to switch between three suspension configurations. This system operates automatically and adapts the damping forces for each wheel according to driving and road conditions.


No announcement has been made about when the A 35 Sedan will hit dealerships or how much it will cost. We expect to see it premiere at the New York Auto Show.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
