Three years ago Mercedes-Benzdebuted the SL 65 AMG Black Seriesat JIMS, which was then known as AutoAfrica. This time the company’s centre piece is a family car. It’s theupcoming A-Class in concept form. Quitethe hottie is this thing, as itfeatures a new, sleek and coupe-like design that will square up much moreclosely with the BMW 1 Series and Audi A3.
A-Class is not expected on showroom floors for another 2 years but the concept did showcasewhat it’s likely to look like. There will even be an official AMG version for the first time, whosemaximum power output is certainly going to be more than 240kW.
So strong is the A-Class’s presence at JIMS that it even overshadowed the world debut of aright-hand-drive SLS AMG Roadster. Infact, it was the older “gullwing” coupethat seemed to gather more attention, very much thanks to those iconic doors. SLS AMG Coupe remains the fastest carever tested by IN4RIDE.
Another great attraction at the Merc stand is the red C 63 AMG Coupe with its black wheels. Itwill soon hit local dealerships at aprice that is just under R1 million.Disappointingly we did not see the Black Series model, or even that CLS Shooting Brake concept at that stand.
