A large part of every AMG car’s appeal is the noise it makes; that sweet crackle-pop-bang you get every time you change gear or release the throttle. Now, just because the new A45 is powered by a 2.0 liter four-cylinder instead of a big V8 doesn’t mean it cannot have the same awesome soundtrack.

In this video you get to hear the sound of this baby AMG. The A45’s driving experience is significantly enhanced thanks to the AMG Performance exhaust system:

Mercedes A45 AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine is the most powerful production four-cylinder unit in the world, developing 265 kW (360 hp) and up to 450 Nm of torque. Channeled to all four wheels via AMG 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission, that power enables you to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.
