It appears that Mercedes-Benz Malaysia have finalised the price of the new A 45 AMG. The official word on the price last month was 'below RM400k', but it appears that the pricing has finally settled on the RM348,888 mark, just RM10k higher than the initial RM339k figure we saw on Malaysian car classifieds website oto.my.

The car on sale for now is the Edition 1, which includes extra bits of equipment. The full equipment list can be viewed if you click the two pages of pricelists that we've embedded above. Since the Edition 1 is supposed to be a limited run, the A 45 AMG should be reverting to a regular non-Edition version later.

The pocket rocket AMG car produces a massive 360 horsepower and 450Nm from its AMG-tuned 2.0 litre engine. In comparison, that's more torque than the V8-powered BMW M3, from an engine half the size. Ah, the wonders of turbocharging. Because there's so much power and torque shoved into a front wheel drive chassis, Mercedes-Benz has equipped the car with 4MATIC all wheel drive. 0 to 100km/h is achieved in just 4.6 seconds and the car can achieve an electronically-limited 250 km/h top speed.

A hat tip to Yeoh Lam Thye and Farhat Haniff for sending over the price list.
