It truly is ridiculous that we can get 400+ hp out of a 2l 4 cylinder engine. Just a few years ago NA V8s were in the 300s in hp.

Not really, IIRC the Mitsubishi EVO X FQ 440 produced aprox 440 HP from a 2L 4 Cyl. back in 2014;

A low slung, proper hot hatch with all the kit from factory and good looks. What's not to love! I doubt how long those massive wheels will last on our roads though.
With BMW going wild with their grilles, Audi churning out dull look-alikes it is MB somehow that has managed to find perfect middle ground. This for example, looks smashing. On point. Not too edgy and otherworldly like BMWs and not too plain like the Audis either.

This would be the perfect car to pick up in the used market. Will keep a look around for such deals. If I was in the market for a luxury sports car I would go for this (assuming it's around 70L) or the M340i.
Lovely car and also the perfect size for city driving.

Just might be a winner, but i hope so not being launched at this price? Found this on Mercedes- India Official Website (https://www.mercedes-benz.co.in/?gro...&view=BODYTYPE).

Initially I read that as 99L, but it's actually listed at Rs 9 crore, 90 Lakh. So it is a placeholder only

I reckon it will be pretty darn close to the 99lac mark on road.

But would make a super deal couple of years from now in the used car market!

Mercedes has really delivered on their promise of expanding the AMG line up in India.

Informally, dealers are indeed pitching around 1 cr on road but as seen in past, MB usually creates this price hype and launch lower which then looks relatively competitive. My guess is around 70-75 lac ex showroom. It will all depend on the allocations they have in the end. They can afford to price higher if not many numbers are available. It can work well for someone already having a G and S. Doing errands on a car which is luxurious as well super fast.

Evo VIII FQ400 made 400+ bhp and 450+ N⋅m torque way back in early 2000's. But with massive turbo lag.

Attractive for sure but the only major fly in the ointment as far as India is concerned is the Ground Clearance on this:

A45S - 113mm with wheelbase of 2729mm

For reference M2C has 118mm GC with a wheelbase of 2693mm

I’m concerned if this will get out of my building driveway, as we have a decent sized slope there.

Why would someone do that to such a sweet ride
Assuming it is decorated for a wedding and not prepped up for delivery like this. I would kill the person who dares to do that to my car.

By the way it looks ravishing in this shade of red
