Only 15 units of this exclusive special edition have been allocated to the South African market, marking the pinnacle of performance for the compact AMG stable.
'Final Edition' styling
Every one of the 15 units destined for local shores is finished in Night Black paint, contrasted by yellow accents.
Exclusive wheels: The edition rolls on 19-inch AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design, finished in matte black.
The details: Look closer, and you'll find yellow AMG logos on the mirror covers, "45 S" decals on the doors, and wheel hub covers featuring a yellow laurel wreath.
Night package I & II: These come standard, ensuring the radiator struts, badges, and tailpipes are finished in sophisticated black chrome and high-gloss black.
Four-cylinder power
Under the hood sits the crown jewel of Affalterbach: the M139 2.0-litre turbocharged engine. It remains the most powerful series-production four-cylinder engine in the world.
Hand-assembled under the "One Man, One Engine" philosophy, this powerplant delivers a staggering 310kW and 500Nm. Paired with the lightning-fast AMG Speedshift DCT-8G transmission and the fully variable AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive, the performance figures are elite:
| Performance Metric | Specification |
| 0–100 km/h | 4.1 Seconds |
| Top speed | 270 km/h (limited) |
| Drivetrain | AMG Torque Control with Drift Mode |
Interior
Inside, the "Final Edition" continues the "dark-mode" theme with vibrant yellow highlights. The AMG Performance seats are wrapped in a mix of man-made leather and microfibre, featuring "45 S" embroidery on the headrests.
To remind you of its rarity, a "45 S Final Edition" emblem sits on the centre console, while the AMG door-sill panels illuminate with yellow lettering to welcome you into the cockpit.
Pricing
Exclusivity of this level comes at a premium, but it includes the peace of mind of Mercedes-Benz's comprehensive service coverage.
Price: R1 721 234
Includes: 5-Year / 100 000 km Maintenance Plan.
With only 15 units available nationwide, this "Final Edition" is destined to become an immediate collector's item for the AMG faithful.
