These are reported to be the first pictures of the new Mercedes CLA45 AMG, which will be officially unveiled at next week's New York motor show.

The pictures, which have leaked on to the internet ahead of the car's launch, reveal the full styling of the CLA45 AMG, which will use the same running gear as the Mercedes A45 AMG, which was shown at the Geneva motor show.

Power will come from a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 355bhp and 332lb ft of torque. All four wheels will be driven through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
