Mercedes AMG should bill this car more as a rocketship than anything else. No amount of engineering (at this price) will make a 2,400 kg car ride and handle like its non-hybrid sibling, no matter how much power you throw at it - super GT at best. Then again, maybe that's what AMG have gone for and I've missed the point.
