A45 AMG Facelift Engine power rated at 381PS/280kW, Torque 475 N⋅m

something seems a bit off here. the A45 is getting left completely for dead and there shouldn't be that big of a difference between the two cars....

Not really...just turbo lag and 4WD drag...you see similar results from A45 vs M4 rolling

This factored in my m2 over cla purchase. From a roll they are actually closer to a 5.5 sec car, they take a while to get moving

Makes sense to me, but that was a bigger gap than I thought. That 2 liter needs 27ish PSI to make max power whereas the S55 is around 18psi.

That's because the A45 is the pre-facelift version with 360hp.

The front bumper and the rear diffuser is facelifted...unless he changed them otherwise the car is the facelifted version with 381ps

The front headlights have the dotted LEDs. Unless he swapped them.
And we know for a fact at least the grill was swapped for the A250 one, so...

Edit: The guy from the M2C just posted on a facebook group that difference between cars is "35kW or so", meaning 47hp - round to 50 and there you have it.

Thanks for the clarification
