Earlier this year, we got a look at the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG, so the design of this Racing Series concept car is familiar, but there were a few modifications made to make it track-ready, mostly in the form of variable components and the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The suspension has been made to racing specs with wider tracks, and the gearbox, engine output, and track and camber on both axles are all adjustable.

Being that it is a race car, the front and rear aprons have been added as well as carbon-fiber wings to improve aerodynamics. The interior of the car is maybe nicer than the exterior, with its steel rollcage (safety first), carbon-fiber bucket seats from Recaro, racing wheel with paddle shifters, and various other beautiful touches. We want to be inside this thing right now.
