This issue brings you two high-performance cars that will be launched soon, Mercedes-AMG A35 sedan and mini cooper s jcw, which have very different personalities, but they can make the blood of passionate drivers run high.
The Mercedes-AMG A35 sedan has a new AMG logo on the side of the facelift
Mercedes-Benz's high-performance division has recently completed the facelift of the A35 and A45 hatchbacks, and it will be the turn of the sedan version next, and its release date should be this year.
Recently we photographed the sedan version of the A35 being tested**. Not surprisingly, the front of the car has undergone the same slight tweaks as the hatchback: first, new headlights flanked by a "Pan American" vertical grille, which have new graphics when lit; The air intakes on both sides have been narrowed, while the ** air intakes under the grille have also narrowed.
At the base of the front fenders and C-pillars, we can also see the AMG-exclusive logo covered in black tape. At the rear, the model gets new taillights and a slightly improved bottom diffuser with rounded exhaust pipes on the left and right. In addition, a larger rear wing is mounted on the trunk lid.
Photographers didn't get a clear picture of the interior**, but we don't think there will be significant changes to the interior of the A35 sedan after the facelift, and the dual screens will continue to be retained, but the **-style steering wheel will probably be installed.
The current A35 4matic sedan version is equipped with a 306 hp 2The 0t engine, which delivers a maximum torque of 400 Nm between 3000 and 4000 rpm, allows it to operate at 4Accelerates from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 8 seconds. And after the facelift, there may be a slight improvement in performance. Mini Cooper S JCW power does not change, torque increases
The mini with cultural symbolic attributes will become a pure electric model in 2023, but the fate of the fuel mini has not come to an abrupt end. Based on the third-generation model, the ** fuel mini, codenamed F66, will also be available soon.
Recently, the much-anticipated reappearance of the Mini Cooper S JCW test car has been reduced to allow us to see more of its details, especially its front and rear headlights. The petrol version of the mini also features the same irregular triangular taillights as the electric mini, a design that, while controversial, is a common feature of the new-generation mini with both powers.

In addition, we can see the red brake calipers, which symbolize high performance, as well as a more prominent spoiler, while the single exhaust pipe located in ** replaces the twin exhaust pipes of the previous generation. In fact, the single-tailpipe design, which has become common in recent MINI race cars, has improved the efficiency of the powertrain and reduced weight.

Aside from the design that is close to the electric version, the JCW doesn't add extra power. At the moment, we have the news that it will still maintain its power at 231 horsepower, which is not a certain increase like the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. However, the maximum torque of this engine is increased by 30 Nm to 350 Nm, and it can be reached at 1250 rpm.
Although the continuation of the fuel mini is gratifying, it is somewhat regrettable that this model will no longer be offered with a 6-speed manual transmission when it is officially launched at the end of this year or early next year.
