The comments are very interesting, 4.7L and 5.5L V8s are on the way

Whatever happened with this rumour anyway? Not heard too much since

I guess we need to be patient.

Remember Rome haven’t been built in one day.

I guess the way things are going with most German car brands in the red for profitability this year, we could be seeing the chopping block not just for Ola Ice Cream but for all the other brand Chairmans as well. So possibly next year could see a sweep axing of CEOs'

There'll be a change at BMW anyway as Zipse's contract is up next summer. He's already 61 and the company broke precedent to keep him in charge beyond the normally enforced retirement age of 60.

Big question marks regarding the successors to Ola Källenius as well as possibly VAG's Oliver Blume. As far as BMW is concerned, automotive industry media outlets in Germany are hinting Joachim Post, board member responsible for development and supply networks. At 53, he is also relatively young and has a doctorate masters degree in engineering.

Base model looks really good with its simpler design. I really like it. This over the AMG for sure.

Same with me, I prefer the base Avantgarde spec front, it looks smoother and purer than the AMG. The extra chrome strips lower down also suit the front and gel well with the new grill.

This GLC EQ base model looks alot better than the base ICE GLC in my opinion. It makes the GLC ICE look slightly dated.

The shape of things to come.

Wow, what could this be?

Exactly. I got rid of the black lower intake and just left the one that’s on the grille. Looks even smoother and better that way.

Wow I am really shocked to see this and wondering what on earth this could be. Is it some new mid engined car? With those side scoop intakes, gives me mid engined vibes.

Maybe a concept of the EV 911 Competitor that MB talk about month ago.

It kinda gives TT vibes with how minimal it appears. Doesn’t look like your typical Mercedes design.

 

[Design FIRST]

Very "safe" exterior design effort. Perhaps "too safe" as the neo-retro faux radiator front shield appears all the more contrived. Very discerning, tasteful configuration will be everything for a GLC EQ.

But THIS is looking extremely interesting :

The recently speculated AMG.EA architecture 2 door GT coupe, perhaps ?

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Those rear wheelarches are HUGE. I love it.

Could it be the carbon tub GT TrackSport homologation special? I would hope so. Those side vents look pretty real.

Just noticed it doesn't have any wing mirrors? So its definitely a concept.

 

[SKY]

Looks like a new SLS.

Just what MB needs to make people forget about the EQ line up.

 

[Pagani]

Does this concept have doors with rear hinges? Because I don’t see a plausible door handle other than what one would be on a Rolls Royce type door.

Looks quite Vision 6-ish. Which is great!

It’s so exasperating to wait for yet another concept that we won’t see in production form for years.
