Mercedes CLA 180 Star Wars Edition For Japan

As if it wasn’t obvious enough, the white CLA 180 Star Wars serves as a nod to the Storm Trooper. The black one, meanwhile, is Merc’s tribute to the Darth Vader, the antagonist you can’t help but love for one too many reasons. The Force, however, isn’t strong with the most underpowered CLA variant of them all: the CLA 180.

Priced from 5,040,000 yen or $44,960 at today’s exchange rates, the 180 suffix translates to 1.6 liters’ worth of four-cylinder turbo drivel. More to the point, this special edition packs 122 PS (120 horsepower) and 200 Nm (148 pound-feet) of torque, figures that don’t really pay justice to Mercedes-Benz’s coupe-ified compact sedan. What’s more, bear in mind that this particular engine isn’t special enough for a vehicle that’s marketed as a special edition.
