I know this car might not be close to the production model, but watching this video u can tell that theres allot of body roll on corners, over bumps, and man was that some horrible understeer .47....

It's a render. Lots of publications use the same renders, this is nothing new.

The real car look even better because, well, this is only a render. The icing will be in the details

And Autocar are using drugs.

official according to mbblog.de: name "Mercedes AMG GT", two variants, 600 hp/608 ps(presumably top variant), to be shown in Paris.

Still think there'll be a reveal at German GP or Goodwood FoS before, at least in minimal camo.

600HP

 

[Kilcrohane]

^ yep, keep the 600 hp version under €/$150k and this thing will give a bloody nose to Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren and Audi/Lamborghini.

Your signature

Hilarious.

 

[Pagani]

I call BS. And I would love to be wrong on this. I think power will be in the 490-520 range.

 

[Amat46]

Even I thought the same but again it comes from MB passion blog, they don't post cooked up stories either.

2 variants of AMG GT
The AMG GT will get neither wing doors, nor provide a successor for the SLS from Mercedes-Benz. The maximum power of the vehicle is over 600 hp lie, wherein the motor is installed as a front mid-engine (the speech is even up to 607-608 hp, possibly new M178 engine). The sprint to 100 km / h in under 4 seconds of the complete AMG GT. The vehicle has a transmission in a transaxle design, the weight distribution of the vehicle remains at 50:50 rough, the vehicle will weigh less than the SLS Coupe (C197). The wheelbase of the AMG GT is slightly shortened compared to the SLS, with more steel is used in the production of the GT for reasons of cost. The production of AMG GT will probably start on the released production line of the SLS in Sindelfingen.

Under €150k for a Benz sportscar with 600+ hp?
You think this car is going to be €20k cheaper than an S63 AMG coupe? And €50k cheaper than a Turbo S?

 

[Wolfgang]

600+ hp may be bit high, at least initially?

When asked whether we’ll see the M156’s replacement soon, he said, “Wait for New York.” They haven’t publicly given the engine a designation yet, but he did that say that the output will not exceed the M157 (5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8), at least not initially.

[hoffmeister_fan]

yeah, I doubt the 600hp variant is going to be around $150K

The cheapest version will probably be even more expensive..

 

[Kilcrohane]

The cheapest version will probably be even more expensive..

The AMG GT's pricing will target the 911's. A 911 Turbo is $148k and a GT3 $130k.

Mercedes I'm sure will make a statement with this car - hypercar-rivalling performance at high-end sports car pricing. Why not? The GT shares a lot of the sunk cost of the SLS AMG's chassis, and the new engine is shared with tens of thousands of C63 AMGs etc. to come. They have a big cost advantage over McLarens, Lambos, Ferraris, and even Porsche. Time will tell of course.

^ a Turbo S is from €190k plus in Germany, and I really don't think this SLC will not cost a dime less

But it will be interesting to see this unfold. This car will not be cheap, and it will only rival the most expensive versions of the 911......I think...

I think the AMG GT will price at around 20% more than the SL63 AMG.
