Mercedes-AMG unveiled a limited-edition version of the CLA 45 S called Edition 1 that will be rarer than many hypercars. Limited to 25 units for the American market, the sedan features several edition-specific design details inside and out and a long list of standard equipment.

Like most of AMG's previous Edition 1 models, the CLA 45 S stands out primarily with eye-catching styling cues — it's not for those looking to keep a low profile. It's finished in Manufaktur Mountain Gray Magno, and designers added orange accents to the front end, the sides, and the rear end for a touch of contrast. There's also a big "AMG" decal with an orange outline and a checkered-flag background on both sides.

Several equipment packages found on the standard CLA 45's list of options come standard on the Edition 1. One is the AMG Night Package Plus, which brings black exterior accents; it's a $750 option on the regular-production model. Another is the AMG Aerodynamics Package, which adds a bigger front splitter, a larger trunk lid-mounted spoiler, and a deeper diffuser; Mercedes-AMG normally charges $1,550 for it. Red-painted brake calipers visible through 19-inch cross-spoke forged wheels finished in matte black add a finishing touch to the look.
