The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT will replace the SLS AMG as the carmaker’s flagship sports car when it debuts later this year at the Paris Auto Show. However, the AMG GT will not be a direct replacement for the SLS AMG, as it will compete in a different category and carry a more reasonable sticker price.
While we have seen the first official photos of the interior in April, the exterior design is still kept secret by Mercedes-Benz, as are its performance specs.
In this new video teaser, the German carmaker lets us hear the sound of the AMG GT’s newly developed 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 engine and reassures fans that the car will be really special. Mercedes-AMG describes the AMG GT as “a monumental, unwavering engineering achievement”.
Big words indeed, with Mercedes also saying that the AMG GT’s main philosophy is about “conquering a twisty road”. Hop over the break to watch the teaser.
