Yup, same here. They will have a plaque on the wall listing who drove the A45? Really?

I read that the FQ400 was a UK model tuned by UK dealers after it left the factory. Maybe this is MB claim - "out the factory - sold in EU - most powerful 4 pot" ?

You Might Be Right There I Just Know UK Spec Was over 400 bhp And Assumed It Was Factory

FQ400 is not currently on sale.

Evo X FQ 36O Is Available In Standard Form At 359 Bhp And FQ 400 Is Special Order Available At over 400 bhp And Presumably A Tuned Version Of The FQ 360 Both More Powerful Than A45 AMG so Still Confused Unless They Dont Leave The Factory Like That

In their other marketing bumf, Mercedes state that this is the 'first production' 4pot with this amount of power.

 

[Simon_M]

oh really, in that case it's just lies from MB - damn them!

We know what you're thinking. Does it have six pots or only four? Well to tell you the truth in all of this excitement we've kind of lost track ourselves. But being this is A45 AMG the most powerful four pot in the world, and will blow your mind clear out of your head you've got to ask yourself one question: "Should I buy one?". Well should you, punk?

AFAIK all the FQ versions are UK-only special editions, tuned over here.

Sounds like a scheme to have an expensive test drive to me!
