Mercedes-Benz Japan Co., Ltd. (President: Kintaro Ueno; Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo) launches a new special limited edition of the new A 45 AMG 4MATIC, the high-performance version of the A-Class new-generation sports compact car. The “A 45 AMG 4MATIC PETRONAS Green Edition” features special exterior/interior designs available under the customization program from the AMG Performance Studio. Beginning today, a total of 30 orders can be placed for the new special edition at AMG Performance Centers located throughout the country. The new limited AMG A-Class will be delivered to customers starting in June 2014. The A 45 AMG 4MATIC, the basic model of the new special variant, is the first highperformance model in more than 45 years of AMG to be available in the compact class. The AMG 2.0-liter four-cylinder inline turbo engine with direct injection, which delivers a peak output of 360 hp, is combined with the AMG 4MATIC system featuring variable torque split to ensure sheer dynamism. Indeed, the basic AMG 4MATIC model embodies the AMG brand claim “Driving Performance” to perfection. To place further emphasis on the mind-blowing presence of the basic model, the exterior design of the new “PETRONAS Green Edition” features dedicated aerodynamic parts such as front flics and a rear spoiler, as well as 19-inch AMG light alloy wheels in multispoke design. Under the special design program from the AMG Performance Studio, the front-end areas, exterior mirrors, rear spoiler, headlamp units, wheel hub caps, and other details are painted in PETRONAS green, the special shade normally reserved for the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS FORMULA ONE® car. Boldly designed decals embellish the front bumper and side skirts. By contrast, the high-
