With cars like a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series and the one-off Pagani Zonda 760 LH in his garage, Mercedes-AMG Formula One driver and current world champion Lewis Hamilton is absolutely no novice with high-performance street cars. With that in mind, when the German marque recently decided to hand over the keys of a brand new Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG to Hamilton, they decided to make it stand out from the pack.

Consequently, Hamilton’s unique A45 AMG features a matte black paint finish as well as a number of racing-inspired decals from Monster Energy and AMG itself. Additionally, the car features Hamilton’s racing number, 44, on the rear passenger windows with the revised aero components of the Edition 1 model also found.

 

What that means is that Hamilton’s A45 AMG includes more pronounced carbon fibre canards at the front as well as a prominent rear wing complete with bright orange endplates. Inside, racing harnesses have been installed for the bucket seats.
