Mercedes-AMG's New Sedan Just Claimed A Nürburgring Record: 'Fastest Car In Its Class'

The new Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 4MATIC+ completed the Nordschleife in 7:32.070.

That makes the CLA the quickest four-door sedan around the legendary circuit.

The fully electric CLA 45 uses an advanced three-motor setup with two motors on the rear axle and one up front, delivering 680 total horsepower.

When you think of the Nürburgring, a sports car is probably the first vehicle that springs to mind. As the world's ultimate proving ground, it's where just about every performance car heads to chase a fast lap time.

Now, the new Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 has joined that list.
