Celebrating 55 years in inception, Mercedes-AMG has added two special edition packages to its model line-up. The Special Edition 55 package will now be available for Mercedes-AMG A35 and Mercedes-AMG CLA35. With the new edition, the cars get design upgrades along with the standard feature upgrades. Earlier, the German automaker also revealed the Mercedes-AMG G63 Edition 55.
The exterior changes on these models are evident in the form of the AMG aerodynamic package as standard. As per the makers, this package improves the performance and dynamics of the car. As part of the package, the car gets an enlarged front splitter, a new front apron, side spoiler lips and a rear wing.
The top-tier Night Package on Mercedes-AMG A35 and Mercedes-AMG CLA35 adds gloss black trim to the front splitter, trim components, external mirrors, outer air intakes, and windowsills on the two automobiles. The tailpipes, wings, boot lid, front grille and model badges are all completed in black. The car comes with two paint options, namely, Cosmos Black Metallic and Digital White Metallic.
