Also a F1 doesn't stop or running ouf of fuel after 400 meters
No, you just throw away the engine after 400 km, or even less.

i believe so, however (most of the time) they're running on ovals which requres less downforce, which creates less drag and a higher top speed at ca. 400kph (formula 1 could reach the same numbers but are limited by FIA regulations)

Mercedes-AMG Preparing Next-Generation SLS, It Could Get Hybrid Technology

/ Home / News / Rumors
Mercedes-Benz stopped making the SLS AMG in 2015, but its “spiritual replacement” is still going strong.
However, the Mercedes-AMG GT will eventually be replaced. Most likely, the next generation of this model should come to market around 2020, and it will get a new platform to suit it for the needs of the next decade. Just like with the current generation of the Mercedes-AMG GT, that platform is expected to be developed from something else.
Mercedes-AMG has gained more strength within the Daimler corporation these last few years, but the division is far from independent. In other words, Mercedes-AMG is free to develop whatever it wants, as long as it can be justified in the form of a business case. In other words, Mercedes-AMG can build whatever it can be sure it will sell in sufficient numbers to justify the development costs.
The most important aspect about a possible successor of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is that it will not arrive in this decade. Because its launch date is set after the time when new emissions regulations will be applied in the European Union and the USA, Mercedes-Benz and its AMG branch are probably considering implementing a hybrid powertrain.
The hybrid solution that is taken into account for the potential successor of the SLS AMG is kept under wraps, but the simplest possibility would involve a mild-hybrid configuration.
That would mean a vehicle that cannot drive on electric power alone, which would not upset any purist of the brand. Furthermore, that arrangement carries the smallest penalty when weight is concerned.
A full-hybrid configuration might be on the table, but only in the context of using more powerful e-motors that will bring a bigger boost in acceleration. If you consider the fact that the SLS AMG was briefly offered in an all-electric version, that possibility should not be ruled out. Eventually, the platform of this model would come to the Mercedes-AMG GT.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

Got to drive the regular SLS at the zwarkops race track a couple of years ago with MB dynamic a moment I’ll cherish forever. This along side the G wagon and W204 C63 are my favourite MBs to date.

Id have problems to pick AMG GT or SLS AMG.
Or SLR.
Or SLR.
The AMG GT is probably the best to drive out of the 3, it is the quickest in acceleration despite the least power and has more modern features and best interior design. For looks and exclusivity I would go for the SLR, it is a work of art.
