Looking at the proportions of the upcoming AMG GT BS I am getting vibes from the C190 instead rather than the current model. Length of hood, hood vent (based on the holes in the camo) would indicate a front-mid engine placement...

Same active fender vents like the AMG One

Yeah, that really looks like a cab back design with the engine placed in the center of the car. Those vents are bad ***.

It appears confirmed that the new AMG GT BS will be based on a bespoke C190 platform.
Good news for weight as well

I guess Mercedes figured out that that fat pig C192 isn't going to be holding its own on the ring. So they had to go back to AMG for the answer.

The C192 is also 100% AMG but the criteria for the design was just different. More space/seats/practicality, easier entry, AWD and all the usual MB amenities.

It’s a beautiful coupe IMO but it lost the rawness, lightweight, agility and mechanical feel of the car and gained a lot of weight in the process. The C190 feels like a proper match to a 911…
