This Is Getting Ridiculous: Brabus B35S Mercedes-AMG A35 Costs Almost $90,000!

Rest assured, that’s not a typo in the title, as Brabus is asking €79,500 (including tax) for the tuned Mercedes-AMG A35, which equals to around $88,400 at current exchange rates.

Paying that much on the German hot hatch won’t make you king of the hill either, because despite the whopping asking price, it’s still less powerful than the stock AMG A45 and A45 S.

The Brabus B35S, which is the official designation of the car, has 365 PS (360 HP / 268 kW) and 460 Nm (339 lb-ft) of torque that come courtesy of the PowerXtra+ kit. The extra 59 PS (58 HP / 43 kW) and 60 Nm (44 lb-ft) produced by the 2.0-liter turbo-four lets it hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.4 seconds, 0.3 seconds quicker than the stock model.

For €56,227.50 ($62,462), which is the MSRP of the new A45 in Germany, you would get 387 PS (382 HP / 285 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft). The A45 S that starts at €61,820.50 ($68,675), unleashes 421 PS (415 HP / 310 kW) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft), does the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 270 km/h (167 mph). As for the stock A35, it goes for over €47,529 ($52,799) in Germany. For the record, none of the above are exactly bargains either.

Aside from the boost in power, the B35S comes with the tuner’s body kit, blacked-out chrome elements, 19-inch wheels and sports exhaust system. It also adds special entry sills, custom paddle shifters and floor mats, and that’s about all. It was registered in August last year, has 2,250 km (1,398 miles) on the clock and cannot make a decent case for itself. Keep in mind that the A35 is the entry-level AMG model.
