Mercedes: the new A-Class will be very similar to the concept. Confirmed the AMG version

Speaking to Autocar, the big boss of Mercedes design, Gorden Wagener, said that the next Class will be "virtually identical" to the prototype that has been announced, the Class A Concept that was one of the more admired Motor Show Shanghai. The new A-Class will reach international markets in 2012, but what we see on the prototype is already realistic.

" "The standard version will also have five doors, the edges of the windows will be slightly different, change some details of the headlamps and grille, but the car is." Especially in the line of the pitched roof and interior, where, subject to the details of the most spectacular, the setting will be preserved, as stated Wagener.

On the Class A series will also remain the turbine nozzles and the big display of concept. The designers of the Star also revealed that one of the main strengths of the next model will be the quality of construction, which not only greatly exceed that of existing Class A and Class B, but also that of the C-Class Lovers of high-tech devices also rejoice in discovering that the small Mercedes is one of the first car in the world able to download apps which update infotainment system and technology on board.

The new A-Class engine range will have a unit composed entirely of turbo direct injection, each featuring a series of start & stop. As for transmissions, you can choose only between the user and the new six-speed dual-clutch seven-speed dry: in range there will be no conventional automatic torque converter.
