The Mercedes A45 AMG is the German car-maker’s first proper hot hatch, and with the world’s most powerful production 2.0-litre petrol engine, it marks quite an entrance. The hand-built motor is allied with four-wheel drive instead of the driven rear wheels of its main rival, the BMW M135i, and gets the AMG to 62mph in 4.6 seconds. Steve Sutcliffe drove it flat-out on track to find out if handles as well as it goes.

Wii U: Is It Dead?

Posted by

With the PS4 and Xbox One, how does the Wii U stack up?

At E3 2013 Nintendo showed off several new games including Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Super Mario 3D World along with Watchdogs but beyond that third party support is definitely lacking.
