In Sportscar terms, what you see here will be the most exciting car Mercedes-Benz it will unveil in 2014. Rumoured to be dubbed AMG GT, the car has now been caught up close on film.
While several spy images had been doing the rounds this videographer was clearly able to get very close to the actual car. Close enough the capture the exhaust note of one (at 1:39 in the video) – easily loud enough to wake the neighbours.
Mercedes-Benz’s latest compact two-door coupĂ© will be powered by a new 4,0-litre turbocharged V8 engine. In essence two A45 AMG 2,0-litre engines joined together, with power outputs rumoured to be around 330 kW. A Black Series and Cabriolet could also surface.
It’s particularly interesting to note, given that the AMG GT will have 911 Turbo in its sights, the presence of a Porsche amoung the collection of test mules in this video.
Rumours suggest the official unveiling of the new car could be as early as July or as late as October at the Paris Motor Show. The sooner the better we say!
