Mercedes has never had a true Porsche 911 rival

Mercedes AMG GT

 

Mercedes has never had a true Porsche 911 rival, but that’s all set to change with the new AMG GT. Mercedes designer Gorden Wagener told Auto Express that the two-seater – revealed in our exclusive image – was “the most beautiful 
car me and my team have ever worked on”, taking inspiration from the 1952 Panamerica 300SL.

 

 

 

Under the skin will be a new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 developing around 480bhp, putting the car in direct competition with Jaguar’s new F-Type Coupé.
