At least AMG produce genuine sounds with their TT engines within the cars cabin but BMW M is using the cars speakers to generate artificial engine sounds, not nice for a performance car and brand!!!

You should really read the press release of the M3 and M4 , nothing artificial there.

Its a good job that render was nothing to do with the actual GT it because if it was it would deserve the hate for it trying to be something it isn't. Thankfully the new car adopts the cleaner appearance started with the SLS AMG. But I definitely see old school SL in that shape.
Classic but modern.
 
Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) to Arrive in Showrooms in March 2015

Last April we showed you a batch of spy photos that depicted the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) sports car in a camouflage never-before-seen on a pre-production Mercedes-Benz prototype.

The “Hulk on fire” green camouflage was not the only odd bit about the model, as it was also caught in the middle of busy Barcelona, Spain, where it was casually driven around all the major tourist attractions.

Well, now that the latest AMG magazine - called Driving Performance – has been launched, the mystery surrounding the green pre-production prototype spotted in Barcelona has been solved: the entire shenanigans were put together by Mercedes-AMG for an article hyping up the car before its unveil.

Apparently the crazy green camo was created by Mercedes-Benz Design especially for the event and it is called “Poison Green”, although we fail to see how a “regular” camouflage would have created less stir than the one in the images below.

As most of you know, the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT recently received its own website, where a number of teasers involving different parts of the sports car will be unveiled in the following months, with the car's design to come into focus at the end of August, while the AMG GT itself will be officially presented to the public at the 2014 edition of the Paris Motor Show.

Until then, what we know for sure about the car is the fact that its based on an aluminium space-frame body that is a shortened and modified variant of the one from the SLS AMG. This means that both the front midship positioning of the engine and a transaxle dual-clutch transmission will be used.

Speaking of the engine, it will consist of several variants of an all-new four-liter V8 engine that has been augmented by two twin-scroll turbochargers. With direct injection and the twin-scroll turbos being situated inside the cylinder lines, like on the BMW S63 and the Audi 4.0 TFSI engines, the new four-liter V8 promises to offer tons of enjoyment to AMG GT drivers, as will the car itself when it finally arrives in showroom in March, 2015.

It has a very similar profile but it looks slightly more compact than the SLS. When will they reveal the car to the public? Is it at Paris Show 2014?
 
It's all about the C Pillar resolution the lights, and the front aerodynamic lip, if that bit is too obvious. It's got classic proportions, just those details.
 
To my eyes, this improves many things on the brutish SLS: smaller yet torquier and good-sounding engine, smaller overhangs and more compact stance, normal doors, better pricing (we will see by how much, I have my doubts).

I can't wait to see in action, and the performance numbers.
