We have fresh news on the upcoming Mercedes-Benz AMG GT, as the Germans just released a darkened image of the exterior along with the first video teaser in advance of its world premiere “in the Autumn of 2014”, which points to the Paris Motor Show in October, though, we hear that we might actually get a first look at it in July during the German Gran Prix.

The exterior shot outlines the AMG GT’s silhouette with a very long-bonnet and a stubby tail featuring stretched out, horizontal taillights. Mercedes had previously shared photos of the car’s elegantly styled interior with a tablet-style display, plenty of circular air vents and a bulky lower center console.

In the new official video, our ears are treated to the sounds of the car’s new engine, believed to be a new 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 unit that will be offered in a number of different tunes, ranging in output from around 480hp to close to 600hp.
