    A38 AMG
    two 1.9 litre engines, one in the front, driving the front wheels, the other below the boot, driving the back-wheels. Together 250hp and 360Nm of torque. Vmax was 230kph (due to the aerodynamics). Brakes from E55 AMG. Four cars built.

    (There were also between 1 and 10 (different quotes = different builtnumbers) A32 Kompressor made by HWA (racing division of AMG) with engine and chassis of the SLK32 AMG. 354hp and rear-wheel-drive, sadly no pics available at the mediaserver)

    A210 Evolution

    It was planned as an A21 AMG with supercharger, but none of the A-Class transmissions was able to handle the torque (because of that also the A170 CDI diesel had to get a torque-restrictor).

    As written above there were a few A32 Kompressor cars from HWA.

    I have found a few mediapics and 5 pics a good friend made in Hockenheim.

    Whoa. Throttle control must be annoying.

    What's the difference between these photos you put up and the photos from the other thread?
