Mercedes CLA 45 AMG Racing Series concept debuts in Frankfurt

by SpeedLux

Mercedes has unveiled the CLA 45 AMG Racing Series concept at the ongoing Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.

Designed to preview the company’s entry-level customer racing car, the CLA 45 AMG RS comes with a new front bumper with larger air intakes and a carbon fiber splitter. Moving further back, there are features such as extended wheel arches, revised side skirts and an aggressive rear bumper with a carbon fiber diffuser. Other notable highlights include an adjustable rear wing and lightweight alloy wheels with Dunlop racing slicks.

The engineers have installed a race-oriented suspension that has a wider track and adjustable springs and dampers. The model has also been equipped with high-performance brakes and a race-spec interior with a roll cage, a fire extinguishing system and a carbon fiber Recaro racing seat.

The company did not reveal much about the technical specifications but confirmed that the concept uses the familiar supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that is also found in the standard model. As the regulations vary by race and series, the production model will also come with a variable engine output. The company has also floated the likelihood of offering the car with front-wheel drive instead of the all-wheel drive.
