The more I see pictures of the test mule like the ones posted by Golf 234, the more I realise its going to be a long hard wait until Q4 2015.
The HP figure of 355 seems to be getting quoted a fair bit now although I doubt all but the deepest insiders have any idea where the final power figure will end up. I just hope that its closer to 400 than it is to 355. AMG are already talking about a Black series CLA / A 45 because they are saying they don't want to be underdone by anyone, and if VW are prepping their 400 HP Golf then its a fair bet that AMG Black will have 400+.
Seriously if they can get 400 out of a 2Lt IL4 then they can get at least that out of a 3Lt IL6. And yes I expect the standard punters will reply and say its not about outright power, its about low weight and balance, well I want both high output and low weight.
If that is delivered, then this car has the potential to be something very special.
