Exclamation 2015 AMG GT Finally Interior Pics revealed, ext. rendering also:

Finally the interior pics of the all new totally AMG designed and built "AMG GT" were revealed, pics below, plus an exterior rendering. The few people who have actually seen the still secret exterior pics say it is the most beautiful AMG ever made so far, so pretty cool stuff to say the least...there is supposed to be a base model with around 550 HP (4.0 liter twin turbo DI V-8, to keep the weight down) to compete with the 911 turbo, F type R coupe, maserati coupe, etc.. and then there should be like an S model above that with maybe 600+ HP and then later a black series version with far more horsepower, lower weight, faster transmission, bigger brakes, tires, etc.... Rear drive only, 7 speed DSG transmission, ...here is the pics:











Supposed to be a very light weight car compared to the current SLS, so its gonna be awesome to see what happens after the tuners like AMS, Weistec, Eurocharged, Renntech, Brabus, OE Tuning, etc.. get there hands on this bad boy....
If tuners are getting well over 1,000, 1,500, or sometimes close to 2,000 HP from the 3.8 liter V-6 in the Nissan GT-R, then why not get these numbers from a slightly larger 4.0 liter V-8 from AMG? And someone should be able to come out with a bored and stroked upgraded aftermarket version of this engine to bring it to 5.0 liters or so....some will be trying that for sure, we shall see....

The back half looks a lot like a Porsche 911.

The weight is supposed to be around 1400kg (under 3100lbs). This will be one fun-to-drive AMG!

Thumbs up Yup

Yeah the weight is supposed to be very low for a Benz, its all AMG made, its basically an updated/upgraded/lightened/enhanced version of the SLS underneath, and of course shortened. It is supposed to be by far the best handling and most tossable mercedes ever by some margin.

Looks like the love child of a 911 and 928S4.

The interior looks amazing. I am with everyone else on the back end and I am still getting used to the upright front end apparently the result of EU pedestrian regs.
