… but the seemingly perpetual tease will soon end. We now have a confirmed date for when we will finally get to see the new AMG GT in the flesh: next week.

To stick it to Porsche, Jag and BMW, Mercedes announced it will have two new vehicles coming out soon.

Last week we brought you the noise from the new AMG GT. We all liked it around here. It wasn’t muffled by the turbos, which was pleasantly surprising. Now Mercedes has released a small video describing the new engine, and it’s honestly nothing short of brilliant.

Many have been worried about the newest Benz sports car, the AMG GT. With the company pretty much turbocharging everything in the office, including the chairs, everyone was worried that the turbos would sully the sounds of Heaven.

Mercedes-Benz makes some awesome shit: the S-Class is continually one of the most advanced cars ever created, the SL is the definition of topless GT motoring, and everything AMG makes sounds like it’s powered by brimstone and hand grenades. There’s one thing that Merc can’t seem to do very well, though: hang out in the supercar league.
