AMG’s debut in the C-segment is anticipated by these spy shots, picturing one of the first mules of Mercedes B-Class 25 AMG. The car will be the first compact SUV with an AMG badge and one of the few with all wheel drive, thanks to the new MFA modular platform. The model will be equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-litre 4 cylinder unit delivering 320-350 hp coupled with a dual clutch transmission. Obviously there are no official performance figures to speak of, but it is safe to say that the car will probably have a 0-100km/h sprint time of about 5 seconds and a top speed in the 250 km/h area, just like Audi RS3 Sportback, its main competitor.

Judging by these pictures, Mercedes B 25 AMG will probably have a re-designed front bumper with larger air intakes, an exhaust system with 2 or 4 mufflers and big alloy wheels, fitted with a more performing braking system. A new rear bumper with integrated diffuser is also expected to appear on the final version. The model should make its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 2012.
