V8 LOL!

V8 LOL!

V8 sound i imagine. The video is blocked for 47 hours

May be they put some speakers on the outside of the car like on the Ioniq 5N.

With the public’s opinion swayed on electric cars, the failure thus far of the EQ line, and the insane depreciation on direct competition - I can’t help to think that this will be DOA.

I’d love to see otherwise, but there is much evidence to support that this will be a tough sell.

I fully agree with you.

I heard it’ll be around 200k$, this won’t make it easier to sell.

Unit sales "failure" is, of course, unfortunate for manufacturers. However, it often says very little about the fundamantal attributes of an automobile. And they can often be brilliant. And especially in the distinctly elevated segments of the market, a showcase of what is possible can pay attractive dividends.

No doubt that new flat crank V8 or whatever it is will make its way to this car too. And it'll be awesome.

The announced "convergence" of ICE/Hybrid and BEVs could make this quite plausible indeed. Perhaps not quite identical cars in terms of design...but very close. A good thing in current global market conditions.

Should pack a punch like Bridgette.

"The new super coupe will use axial-flow engines from YASA, a company bought by Mercedes. The Yasa engine weighs only 24 kg and develops up to 474 PS and 800 Nm, so the new model could deliver 948 PS and 1,600 Nm. There will also be a high-performance version with three engines that could develop incredible power and torque of 1,422 PS and 2,400 Nm. Mercedes has chosen the three-engine solution while rival BMW is preparing a future electric M3/M4 based on the Neue Klasse architecture that will have four engines."

So nearly 1500hp for the GT EV!?

The price point and shape are indicating that it was developed when the Taycan was overselling the 911.

It has to be a game-changer in tech and design to take off.
If it takes the path of the new CLA it will be another wasted time and money in a very existentional moment: https://insideevs.com/features/760575/vw-bmw-mercedes-issues/

It’ll be DOA.
I am absolutely confident.

I am absolutely confident.

Depends on the company car scheme and lease options/incentives they have for it.

We'll see I guess. But its still good to invest in the technology now, so that when we get to the point where there is no choice but to go EV, they haven't been left behind.

 

[Swissbob]

The BMW XM lease options are very good, still nobody is buying it.

For a company car it’s to expensive, especially in Europe.

The AMG EQ will be even more expensive.

Regarding EV only.
This point is still very far away, I guess we’ll first see the Mars as a travel destination.

Regarding EVs I am very disappointed, they’re a solution for nothing.

 

[Design FIRST]

The "EV Debate" is one that has become so immensely politicized and hence polarizing, that it is becoming difficult to conduct unemotional, rational discourses regarding the "yays and nays" of electric mobility. Perhaps a "tribal" sort of thing nowadays.

 

[Swissbob]

I agree with you.

We should be open for new technologies, but we should put the + and - always on the balance.

I have a very pragmatic approach, TBH If you like how electric cars drive, they’re fine, but they’re not longterm keepers because the battery will eventually break down because of aging.

Thats why the residuals are abysmal. People will rather buy nuclear waste than a used electric car.

If you lease the car and return it, you don’t need to care about that.

Eventually the companies will adjust the residuals in the leasing conditions, this will make the cars very expensive and therefore almost unsellable.
Currently the leasing residuals from all electric cars are way higher, than the market price.

My dealer told me, that on the EQS this difference is the equivalent of approximately 40000$ per car.
On the taycan it’s even worse.

Now the question is how long are the leasing companies going to pay this difference until they adjust the conditions.

This is what will kill all the AMG EA cars.

Quite a bit of progress is being made in this particular area. In the past 5 some years, degradation rates have almost been halved And at the rate of current progress, batteries will be functional long after the rest of vehicle shows serious signs of fatigue.

Thats why the residuals are abysmal.

Agree, a major problem. That being said, residuals for big ticket luxury/sports vehicles, regardless of whether ICE or BEV, have been...let's say..."highly disappointing". With very few exceptions.

If you lease the car and return it, you don’t need to care about that.

I imagine that fewer and fewer customers are actually "buying" their vehicles.

Eventually the companies will adjust the residuals in the leasing conditions, this will make the cars very expensive and therefore almost unsellable.

That may be true indeed. However, recycling of well-used EV vehicles rather than attempting to sell them can be lucrative. And batteries stipped from components needed for vehicle use are attractive energy storage elements.

Especially the LFP has been improved, I know this, but most people don’t .

My dealer told me it’s about double ( Audi Q8 e-tron and Audi Q8 ) 25% and 50% residuals.
With the same age and mileage.

On electric cars its 95% Leasing.
But the rates depend from the residuals, If the rates on a EQS would be the double of a S580, who’d get the EQS?

Thats what Porsche does with the taycan. I know a mechanic who works at Porsche, he told me that.

It will be interesting to see how this AMG EV performs against the competition.

High-performance electric sedan currently for sale (Price, Power, Mass, Range)

• Tesla Model S Plaid = €120,000 - 1020 hp for 2167 kg - Around 600 km (WLTP)
• Audi E-Tron GT Performance = €175,000 - 925 hp for 2330 kg - 559 km (WLTP)
• Porsche Taycan Turbo GT = €248,000 - 1108 hp for 2290 kg - Around 559 km (WLTP)
• Lucid Air Sapphire = €250,000 - 1251 hp for 2420 kg - Up to 687 km (WLTP)

In the EU and probably U.K. as well, it will be all about how the AMG.EA GT performs against the Porsche Taycans and Audi eTron GTs. Taking the current "political environment" into consideration.
