And we`re talking upwards of 510 horsepower.
Set to go on sale next spring, the upcoming Mercedes AMG GT may turn out to be the Porsche 911`s worst nightmare.
With the Mercedes SLS AMG now retired, this new high-performance flagship will be both smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Power is set to come from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with around 510 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. It`ll be quite impressive, but now we`re getting word that AMG wants to take things even further. Alongside the GT there`ll also be the GTS.
And according to Paul Tan`s car blog, it`s the GTS that`ll have the 510 hp output. The so-called `base` GT will produce 465 hp.
None of this has been confirmed just yet by AMG CEO Tobias Moers, but we wouldn`t be the least bit surprised if this turns out to be true. We`ll have our answer hopefully sometime this summer just ahead of the AMG GT`s official debut at Paris in October. In the meantime, AMG has just released this new video explaining the GT`s technological achievements.
