Might just be me, but the first A45 is kinda underwhelming regarding the stats. The RS3 8P that came out 2 years earlier is faster, and technically even the new S3 is faster than this one

I got 12.43 @114.8 mph for my1/4 mile run in my A45. 180 mph must have been downhill, with a tail wind, and using the same launch system as fighter jets use coming off an aircraft carrier....

The reason why it says 179 mph is I think because if someone put 111 mph as the trap speed, no one will ever find the test on Google.

@benzsl Thanks for the data. If you submit it via "Add Performance Data" I promise I will publish it today!
I am aware there is major backlog on performance data though.

..I am starting to like this little thing more and more, But I so wish it were a coupe instead.
Im also not totally sure, but im not sure if 4wd fits it or not, dunno.
A Bmw M135I XDrive CSL should compete with the A45 AMG GT BlackSeries and Audi RS3 Plus, if they were to make those to, it would be a hell of a battle.
But id prolly take a 1M Coupe over this, a Shame they dropped it after only 2 years.
@Lafars
That does sound good, damn good, better then an R8 or "Just" about any other 4Cylinder engine, but, that was also a Tuned exhaust, so its a bit unfair, but still sounds fantastic.
