GT (C192) [Official] The all-new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé

[AbsoluteUnit]

Exciting we have to wait at least two more years and we're stuck with that old car in WEC and IMSA?
Yeah, exciting. And funny how they claim it's "on schedule".

Meanwhile, BMW is killing it with a modded lease car.

Killing it at what?

Killing it at what?

Killing it with winning endurance races in a modded 420d

Is it?
As far as I'm aware the AMG GT3 has been a lot more successful than the M4 GT3 in racing.

AMG GT3 has been a lot more successful than the M4 GT3 in racing.

Given the additional 6 years since homologation, and the likely much higher number of chassis/entries, this would be fully expected. By the time it stops racing it will have been on track for 14 years, using an engine that went out of production in a series car in what... 2015?

Wins and titles aside, it's certainly been a success in terms of a customer racing program.

No doubt. I think it's a bit silly to compare them for that exact reason.
Not sure what the angle is with calling the M4 GT3 a "Modded 420d". The 4 series is supposed to be a sports car after all.

Pretty amazing that such a old car still dominates the race series even whilst being so heavily bopped.

I always wonder what a product manager actually does. It sounds like an awesome job when it comes to repping AMG.

I wonder if Mercedes will release a N-Ring time soon for this beast. Probably they would be targeting less than 7min.

Will be a real test for the braking set up given how heavy it is even in pro format.

Its incapable of even getting anywhere near the last gen GTR

Has any YT channel or reviewer compared a regular GT 63 with the E Performance S version? Really curious to find out how they compare.

 

[Pagani]

Also, asking this here because I don’t know where else: how can AMG seemingly be able to get single digits of electric-only range when BMW and Bentley get much longer range in their similar systems in, respectively, M5 and the GT Speed hybrids? Are those systems P3 like the AMG or P2? For that matter, I struggle what the difference is between P3 and P2. The latter has more range whereas the former has more power performance from what I have read.

It's just a function of battery capacity. The BMW M5 has a 14.8 kWh battery and the AMG GT 63 E Performance has a 6.1 kWh battery.
