    My interest in cars is inversely proportional to how much techno wizardry they have.

    I begrudgingly accepted turbos. I like DCTs.

    Otherwise I guess it is no accident that I'm now driving a minivan and a ute.

    It can. One of the slides shows AMG sound experience. I’m guessing it’s got speakers in exhaust Audi style.

    This tech is called regenerative breaking. I think it was first used with VFD's quickly slowing down ac motors and the use of breaking resistors. Instead of dumping motor velocity energy back into city mains as machine tool manufactures did, now they dump the regen current into a breaking resistor. HAAS cnc machines use a stove element, I use a 40ohm wire wound resistor. Instead of dumping that current into heat dissipating element they are routing it back into the charging system. Took them long enough!

    I can't deny the AMG 4-cylinder engine is impressive but the exhaust note of the AMG CLA 45 sounds like dog shit. I suppose we just have to accept that this is the future and a reason to hold on to the last ICE performance vehicles as long as possible. EV's are extremely fast but sterile experiences and we are going to lose out on individual personalities from car to car as they all morph into fast appliances.

    Remember that Kia just announced a mid 3s 0-100 EV for next year that probably will share the toys with Genesis GV60. And Lexus is promising one in 2025. EV will democratized straight-line speed.

    Confirmed C63 gets the f1 mgu h. 650hp AWD zero lag. Same unit from the amg one, same unit going into GT73. Fuck ton of tech details in the slides.

    How do they package that into SUVs or Wagons?

    Interesting discussion on this topic by the TG guys recently. It's not so much that straight line speed has been democratized, it's that it has been destroyed as an interesting trait in cars. My views on this are well known around here - I have no inteest in 0-60 times or 1/4 mile times, etc.

    442hp from the 2.0l is wild.

    The solution is simple though, just don't be poor and get a car that has the V8 hybrid powertrain. Best of all worlds. Unfortunately for me, I'm poor.

    edit: That was a great little video. My two takeaways were 1) range should actually be measured in how long you can go between pee breaks, and 2) that at some point soon all cars will have effectively the same underpinnings and you can just plop whatever body on top you want (e.g. Mercedes W124 500E with electrics underneath... what a fantastic concept).

    It’s really not that good looking is it? Not M4 bad, but that isn’t saying much.

    Who told Mercedes to take design inspiration from the CLA?

    This is why my interest has turned to home renovations.

    Was at the dealer today. New C class will be sedan only in NA. They’re not bringing the wagon here, and no coupe or cab.
