Mercedes GLA at the Los Angeles motor show The large front splitter is finished in high-gloss black and features more aerodynamic fripperies that a Formula One car's front wing. AMG says that the motor racing look is further emphasised by the number "45" on the doors - we imagine that won't feature on the production version - and the AMG logo at the upper edge of the windscreen. Further design elements include the "twin-blade" radiator grille in silver chrome, sill panels with high-gloss black inserts and "TURBO AMG" lettering on the front wings. Silvery grey and red foil wraps on the bonnet, sides, C-pillar and rear end are complemented by red highlights on the grille, door mirrors, diffuser insert and rear wing. The rear valance is dominated by the diffuser insert with twin rectangular exhaust outlets each side. Tobias Moers, the chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, said: "With the Concept GLA 45 AMG, we are setting a stake firmly in the ground of the strongly growing market segment of compact SUVs. Our customers - a young target group who set great store by styling, dynamism and independence - can now start looking forward to a dynamic high-performance car. The most powerful four-cylinder engine in the world and the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system add up to make the Concept GLA 45 AMG a unique proposition.
