New 1,200hp SLS hybrid
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/ele...hp-plug-hybrid

Forgive my title lol. I believe the new AMG GT will have strong resemblance powerwise to this car (6 cyl + hybrid system).

Never thought MB would allow this much SLS DNA to be infused in that car.

Front looks pretty good but I am not a fan of the Z3 coupe rear end.

Most of that car looks really awkward to me, but I'm sure some may like it.

I agree with awkward: Is it a modern Jaguar? A BMW of old? An Aston Martin on meth? WHAT IS IT? LOL

A bit terrifying that I see this hideous beasts resemblance to the GT coupe in certain angles...especially in the A pillar, doorframe, rear quarter...

I do like the gullwing doors though

I see they are going for the Mclaren/Tesla door alignment. Nice touch.

Also looks like a Ferrari FF redesigned by someone from the Tesla studio, after going through 3 committees of pencil pushers. At the end of the process I bet a Musk-like character thought to himself "Nailed it!"
