At the end of last year it was the tuner Posaidon from Neuwied in Germany with one on 485PS strengthened Mercedes A45 AMG A-Class a lot of dust and could at least annoy established drivers of a BMW E60 M5 or E63 AMG. With a limited edition called RS485 +, the whole thing is changing and annoyance becomes "hanging out"! Posaidon is now offering a performance upgrade for the 381 hp facelift version and the 360 ​​hp pre-facelift version to 500 hp and an electronically limited torque of 555 Newton meters. The A-Class flies from 0-100km / h in just 3,5 seconds and only stops at an impressive 315km / h. Due to the all-wheel drive and the relatively low weight, the A-Class should have advantages over the vehicles mentioned above. Incidentally, the tuner achieves the additional power that has increased once again by means of ball-bearing racing turbochargers, enlarged and flow-optimized stainless steel downpipe or even complete processing of the intake system.
