we will appreciate the fact that he uses a fly killer to pass the card, and that’s just hilarious, in addition to the whole meme that the car paint carries, sensational lap misha 👍🏻
15 years ago, 525 horse out of a basically stock 4 cylinder turbo with nothing more than a slightly bigger turbo and software was unheard of. Amazing how much engine technology has progressed!
It is amazing, but don't forget that certain people have made similar power out of unopened Honda K series engines, nonetheless, this is simply incredible.
@@moejasss Im well aware of that but it takes considerably more time and money to turbo charge a N/A engine than it does to upgrade an already existing turbo engine. I was simply pointing out that 15 years ago, 500 plus horse from a 4 cylinder turbo from just upgrading to a slightly larger turbo and software was unheard of.
As an A45 owner myself, despite the extra power Alex has, this lap felt very familiar to me. There’s so much to be impressed by the car and it has plenty of fun and emotion in the experience, but the weight is a constant source of frustration. It really shows itself from Hohe Acht to Pflatzgarten, the front end just not able to turn in as you’d want it to. But there’s few cars at this new price point that can attack a track like this then cruise back to, in my case Scotland, in comfort and in warranty and be back on the daily commute by Monday. It’s why my A45 is still sat in my driveway and will be for a long time. I’d probably take the AP upgrade, but not the KW’s. Merc really did a great job on the stock suspension and it’s as flat and predictable on the ring without being too stiffly sprung.
OMG! You rightly said it in the title : Flying Fake Taxi. That was quite frantic. "We'll take it slow", he said. If this is him taking it slow, then I'd hate to see how he drives when he is full on. We want more of these random videos. Awesome.
Excellent video. No trash-talking while driving, fair and reasonable driving, very good quality, skills, my heart almost stopped at 7.55 but handled very well. Next time please more and higher quality microphones to feel this car even more. Nice.
I remember the first Mercedes A class being introduced...immediately getting a bad name for handling (failed moose test or whatever it's called). This seems like a bit of a different animal.
Wow, I just read that about the 1997 A class. It said it was only going 37 mph!!! That's almost the lowest speed limit we have. That's super slow and they still managed to flip it. Crazy.
Is this actually a fake "FakeTaxi"? :-D - Very entertaining video and quite a fast car! I am inspired ... will stop working in the house now and do some SIM Racing instead.
Great lap in a thundering ‘hot hatch’ but I can’t help thinking the huge cost of the base car plus the very expensive mods would get you a very special ring tool that didn’t have 66% of the weight on the steering wheels or need computer aided torque vectoring
Fastest track cars have very good software. Great ECU to help the car. It's hardware + software. That's what makes a car the most optimal for the track. Look at Porsche. They are amazing at that. Also Mercedes with this A45. Great job!
I'm glad there's diversity in vehicles at the ring but this thing wouldn't be my personal choice, either. Seems more of an understeer generator than a car.
Hi Misha, great content as usual.. What’s your view in terms of handling and power compared to Renntec A45s? .. Which car would make a better daily driver? .. I’m thinking of getting the CLA 45s Shooting Brake (need more boot space) then giving to Renntec for all the mods this car has. I noticed no complaints about tyre rub, does this car have the wider rubber? I’d appreciate if you could do a mini feature on the A45s / CLA 45s highlighting development as these cars are proving how tuneable they are.
Impressive is an understatement. Decimated all that heavy traffic with relative ease, and very composed. The Fake Taxi graphics are pretty cringe though TBH.
Something strange about it... Downshifting you don't ear the car reving 🙄🙄🙄 and them on the higher revs the fake sounds coming from the sound speakers 😬😬😬 outside looks awesome!
@@Merluca where are the 500bhp? Obsvisly the guy is not a taxi official driver doesn't go that fast! But for sure there's space for improvement that can go much faster ...😅✌️🔧
Good driver! However just for my interest I’ve checked the difference between this dude (seems that he drives so fast) and Kubica lap from last cone till 8.48 (start of concrete road) and Cubica has advantage of 40 sec! At first sight seems that both cars has same power and roughtly same efficiency, but driving skills are so different.
Complete different cars. A45 is around 200kg heavyer, has 1100kg just front axle load, wheelbase is shorter and so on. A BMW is definetly faster with same power than an A45. You can not compare thoose 2 cars
"We'll take it slow" .... (end of the round) "tyres were overheating"! 😂 What are these orange "stereo-bars" in the data-console? First I thought it was motor-rev, but naa... I think now it's an indicator how much the gas-pedal is pushed. But for what reason? Looks like the pedal-indicators in some sim-racing games. 😉
I don’t know I’m the amg but on the regular a class it’s torque horsepower boost and oil temp on 4 sliders, since it’s only 2 I’m guessing hp and tq only
I see the rear seats have been removed for easy cleaning.
@John Thomas that me went straight over you huh?
@John Thomas He said that because its a fake taxi xD An adult content series xD
we will appreciate the fact that he uses a fly killer to pass the card, and that’s just hilarious, in addition to the whole meme that the car paint carries, sensational lap misha 👍🏻
Dude is crafty.
LMAO us Asians have been using that for many years now. Heck we even have a purpose built card holder like that to use at our toll booths.
@@Altruistic00 they have specific build card holders like that for the ring too haha
proper German engineering!
Double function

agreed, same for 1k+ out of a fairly modded out I4 engine..
I think it's not that amazing tbh
@@WhenYouFlying ...until you drive an A45S with 525bhp

Please do more of these, its kind of like a one take on the Nürburgring
"We'll take it slow" - passes everyone 😂
With it being a 'Fake Taxi', I thought it would have more of an happy ending.
The driver for faketaxi really has some good car taste
Arguably this is not one of faki taxi’s “prettiest” passengers
Misha prob made a video for youtube and you prob find one on the hub aswell
If he wants his taxi business to succeed on the hub he might need a gls 63 instead
🤔😏
Misha! Why you walk funny after the lap in the Fake taxi? xD
Ass, gas or grass nobody rides for free.
That's what he calls "taking it easy" JFC I can't imagine what he thinks going all out is. Damn good driver.

Drive faster so you will need the KW suspension.
What tires you on?
Brabant I enjoy the ring at 8/10’s so I can drive it home, no need for KW’s
superbecx only thing I make sure I’m on is good rubber, so 245 4S or Cup 2’s if I’m there for a few days
@MunroM84 is the best at looking like a pos
Misha, you should have had Boris do the onboard. This would be right in his territory. The livery, the more doors for more ... and the like.

The only new car with scifi interior which i really like!!
Proud RS3 8v owner
That guy can drive! So smooth.
Mah man here is a real meme lord-fake taxi logo, Upside down Maserati logo, A45”RS” badge, and that fucking fly killer😂 bravo
That fly killer card applying equipment is mega! German engineering 🙂✌️
Probably TUV certified
This was one of the smoothest laps ive seen, even the tyre squeal is at an absolute minimum, really impressive.
That was a nice lap. I really like the camera view too! That mercedes handled so well.
Pure endorrin flow when watching and listening to the engine sound. Greeti gs to you from sunny Croatia!
Fake taxi? Didn't know Apex was diversifying their business offerings!
Also, fourth comment
You get a guy with a wig lmao!!!
FakeTaxi haha. We will keep quiet what they really are about 😂
"We will take it ez"
Proceeds to floor it lmfao i love this 🤣😭

Not the fake taxi I was looking for, but I'm not disappointed.
525 HP reliably out of a 2.0 4-banger. Impressive.
A bit early to call them reliable lol
@@sheilamorrison1954 Fair point
You re 20years late lollll
@@upnorthviking823 What do you mean?
525 hp from a 4 cylinder 😍😍👍🏻 awesome car I saw it live also german dialect on point 😄👍🏻
#K20C1 with Upgrade turbo say hello mercedes hold my beer #K20C1
"Let's take it easy today"
*X Doubt*
Yoooooo this thing Fkn goes forward holy moly
"Take it easy today" this man knows how to drive
That thing is deceptively quick!!
Nice video!!
Perfect Driver & Perfect Car

@Clout track car is not drag car, it will never be "just add power".
You know when a car is fast when Misha stops talking
Ha! Yep. While not in a Porsche, this is one of my favourite laps.
What a great lap that was
I guess the speed limit squirrel is on vacation
At 8:00 Anyone else clenched a bit when he took that corner at 210 km/h ?
Haha, I was also a little bit scared at this moment but he managed it well.
Nope.was doing it on the streets as a kid lollll reached that speed on gravel,snow,ice and rain.
The driver is mega!
Nice driving with a cool car. Please make more of these kind of Videos
this thing rocks af
You know it gets serious in the Fake Taxi when he puts on the gloves :D
It's better than the "love glove" they use (or don't) in the real Fake Taxi.
My AMG A45s is a REAL Taxi,well that's what my kids treat it like!
Removal of rear seats adds some good storage room to the back. Throw in a stock 3 point belt and I'd daily it.
normally the side bolsters are adjustable using the mbux system, there are settings from 0 to 10.
Very good Driver 👍👌
Yeah he definitely took it easy 😂
RIMAC ON NURBURGRINGGGGGG
525 hp out of 2l engine. That’s mad
Rapid little car, great driving!
Great color and Great driving!
Goes very well,525 hp is not to be sneezed at for sure✅
Top vid of the amg a45s cheers steve 😀👍
Водитель этого тазика,боевой мужик,со шрамами,респект!!!!!!
"Where do you wanna go love?"
Nice smooth driving.
Hey Misha, this Comrade Alex is a good driver..!!! Now if this A45S had 675 HP, bigger brakes, and better tires....!!!!!?????
..then I'd guess it would be faster ;)
Very impressive!
Very nice, love it👍
Hi Misha, it appeared to be a very controled drive, good to watch. Regards, RichardA.

Fast car and good driver. Impressive.
Something strange about it...
Downshifting you don't ear the car reving 🙄🙄🙄 and them on the higher revs the fake sounds coming from the sound speakers 😬😬😬 outside looks awesome!
That's what i thought aswell
@@Merluca where are the 500bhp?
Obsvisly the guy is not a taxi official driver doesn't go that fast! But for sure there's space for improvement that can go much faster ...😅✌️🔧
Idk why, but in real I can definitely hear the car revving at downshifts.
Looked like fun 😊👍
4matic plus race track version ?
Awesome skils👌☝️
Great lap! Thanks for the content Misha, however I think it would be more fitting had the faketaxi been a Pornsche, or rebadge to A55 amg😂
I ❤ that 500 in the background, I have yet to see a vid of one in the ring.
Btw. I too own a 500 in the same colour.
wow under 8 minutes!! Hachikorumeister and him'd have a wonderfule time on the track together
Straight to comment section !!!
Ideal daily driver. 😎
LOVE
I've never seen Fake Taxi part recorded in yellow A45S, hmm I was searching and with no result :/ Misha that had to be exhausting day :D
The opf certainly kills the sound, shame. Cool car though.
Let me Google ‘Fake Taxi’ and see what comes up.
AWESOME 👏👏😅. But this is a 100k Euro spec? 🥳
Good video
Good comment
Awesome 👍 driving thank u
AMG Rules...
Fake taxi🤣🤣😎
Love from India 😍
i have fear from watching....but fast AF....or is the FoV from the Cam?
Got Hatzenbach a little crossed up. Was that a Schirmer BMW that he passed?
How much is a lap? And where can I find this guy? I’m planning on doing this soon. 👍
How is it compared to larger vehicles such as the M2 Competition?
Cool! It looked fun
525hp on e85 or something OR 525 WHP? BIG DIFFERENCE im just curious thats all.
Great lap.
Wait, I’m on the wrong site again
this is fast!
This guy driving the fake taxi is goood driver
List of the mods would be interesting 😜
Just ask the company who build it, or text Alex on Instagram
Best Car Ever 😁

The top left is tq, top right hp, bottom two are coolant and oil temp. At least that's what it looks like when I screenshot and zoom.
