A32 K – a sports car with a high vantage point. At first glance it may be hard to see that there is more underneath the hood than in a conventional A Class Mercedes.
Only very careful inspection reveals that the car is very slightly larger. The seats have been moved back seven centimetres, and the dashboard is longer. Room has been made for a new engine with a compressor driven by the crankshaft. You may not be able to see the difference – but you can hear it, and you definitely feel it while driving!
