Less than a year that the representatives of Mercedes-AMG GmbH changed their opinion on the need to create a luxury car, challenging the monsters such as McLaren P1. And in spite of the fact that before Tobias Mears, the Senior Manager of sports models of Daimler had negative opinion when he was asked about the flagship development, now he mentioned Porsche with its famous 918 Spyder: "we want the public to see us at the same level as the other German manufacturers of sports cars." For doubters, the head of the sub brand of the new mission clarified that the Mercedes-AMG will bring the racing technology on the public roads. The technical details are not known yet, but probably it will have a gasoline engine, leading rear axle, and two electric motors, rotating front wheels, and the combined impact of the power plant can exceed 1000 HP.
Once again, Mears urged not to wait for the all-wheel drive version of the Coupe GT Mercedes-AMG.
