Mercedes-Benz unveiled the AMG
GT S coupe in Stuttgart, Germany, on Tuesday, after months of speculations and
spy photos. This is the second car developed completely in-house at AMG in
Affalterbach, following the SLS AMG, and it’s the company’s latest super-car.
Mercedes
has not announced pricing for the 2016 GT and GT S, but says the GT S will be
available in the United States in the spring of 2015. The GT will arrive in
2016.
The rumormill churns out a
base price starting at $120,000.
BMW i8 uses a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a
turbocharged three-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo petrol engine and BMW eDrive
technology in the form of an electric drive system. The 1.5-liter combustion
engine develops 170 kW/231 hp and drives the rear wheels of the BMW i8, while
the 96 kW/131 hp electric drive sends its power to the front wheels and allows
an all-electric range of up to 35 kilometres (22 miles) and a top speed of 120
km/h (75 mph).
It is built primarily of carbon fibre and the i8 represents the future of “green sport-cars”.
While
the BMW i8 is not considered a direct competitor, on paper, to the Mercedes GT,
we took the time to see how the two cars compare visually.
