One of these new AMGs will be driven purely by electricity, with heavily disguised prototypes filmed on the move at the Nurburgring.

Nevertheless, we can see obvious similarities between it and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2023\/09\/mercedes-cla-concept-debuts-with-sleek-look-design-and-466-mile-range\/\">CLA Concept<\/a> which has inspired its design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/01\/electric-mercedes-amg-cla-spied-for-the-first-time-spraying-four-rooster-tails-in-the-snow\/\">Electric Mercedes-AMG CLA Spied For The First Time Spraying Four Rooster Tails In The Snow<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Much like the concept launched 12 months ago, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/mercedes-cla\/\">production-spec CLA<\/a> adopts a sleek, swooping roofline that looks absolutely fabulous. Mercedes-Benz\u2019s engineers have done a good job of hiding the headlights but it hasn\u2019t done so well masking the taillights. Heading into several braking zones at Green Hell, we can see the brake lights flash to life, revealing circular LED signatures almost identical to the concept.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>AMG has also influenced the design. It has slightly wider front and rear fenders than standard CLA prototypes we\u2019ve seen in the past and has also grown a huge ducktail lip spoiler. While this is likely just a placeholder, a pronounced spoiler\/wing or some sort can be expected to feature on the production model.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mercedes-AMG-CLA-spy-shots-scoop-00013.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Mercedes-AMG\u2019s Electric CLA Is Coming To Divide Opinions\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1469\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Mercedes-AMG-CLA-spy-shots-scoop-00013-1024x684.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/mercedes\/\">Mercedes-Benz<\/a> CLA models with the optional electric powertrain should be good for around 466 miles (750 km) of range, matching the CLA Concept, but little is known about the AMG model.
