Presented as a design concept, it is not yet ready for production but it’s a preview of how the next generation 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLA will look like. More importantly, the Concept CLA Class also presents the first product to ride on the company’s new MMA architecture. Short for Mercedes Modular Architecture, MMA will replace MFA II, the current platform t

The earlier rain settles into a light drizzle, the air is damp and fizzing with the smell of fuel. A procession of cars that took nearly one hour to get on the main straight of the Sepang F1 circuit has led to this moment. Standing almost dead centre of the pack, Mercedes-AMGs stretch as far as the eye can see up and down the road. As the marshalls start counting the number of cars, the final tally stops at a whopping 448 units. The feat, jointly organised by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM), AMG Cl
