Just like with the SLS AMG GT3 , the new CLA 45 AMG Racing Series was developed in cooperation with HWA AG, which was responsible for the development and race appearances of the AMG-Mercedes DTM cars.
"The CLA 45 AMG Racing Series demonstrates our desire to further increase our commitment to customer motorsport. We are also seeking to offer interested customer teams a competitive, near-standard racing car with an excellent level of safety in the popular four-cylinder segment."
Exterior
Based on the production-version CLA 45 AMG, the new Racing Series features an extravagant aerodynamic kit made in carbon fiber. This kit includes a new front and rear apron, flared wings and side sill panels, a front apron with a front splitter, a new rear diffuser with three fins, and an adjustable rear aerofoil.

Interior

For the cockpit, AMG installed a specially developed instrument cluster that displays details on the road speed, engine speed and the operating temperatures of the engine and transmission. This gives the driver a clear view of the important information without distracting him.
Rounding out the interior mods is a racing steering wheel with shift paddles, a center console with a central switch for the on-board electronics, and switches for the hazard warning system and fire extinguishing system.
Drivetrain
Under its hood, the new CLA 45 AMG Racing Series keeps the same engine found in the production version: an AMG-built 2.0-liter turbo engine. In the production model, this engine churns out 360 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, and mates to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sports transmission. This driveline sprints the production version to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and up to a top speed of 155 mph.

Suspension and Brakes
For the new CLA 45 AMG Racing Series Mercedes also developed a special racing suspension with adjustable ride height, spring rate and damper characteristics. The car sits on AMG light-alloy wheels in a cross-spoke design, and the wheels are wrapped in Dunlop racing tires sized 265-660-18. The wheels and suspension team up with an electro-mechanical AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system to help[ guide the racer trough the twist.
