Hot hatchbacks spoil us right now. You may choose from three, four, five or six cylinders, front, rear or all-wheel drive. Manual, auto or dual-clutch. Various configurations of doors, seats, boot sizes. Perhaps a drift mode or some launch control, if you fancy. And at the senior end of the hot hatch pecking order, you find cars democratising power that has no right living in a hatchback. Truly supercar-humbling performance has arrived in your Asda car park. When The Great Big Book of Hot Hatch History is finally written, it may well be Mercedes-AMG"s first contribution that started the ball rolling. Is the soon-to-die A45 Mk1 the world"s first true hyper-hatch?
