Mercedes-AMG GT Concept (Genève 2017) Details / examination
Now it is interesting just the other day, we say that the Panamera Sport Turismo movement determined and Porsche to push his saloon and shooting high-end brake models is the AMG version of the current CLS look like bargains seems Mercedes agrees if this teaser sketch of an AMG GT concept for Geneva is anything to go by.
Details are scarce - limited to the image you see here, in fact - but it's pretty obvious that this is an AMG GT with stretched an extra set of doors Maybe Aston Martin was onto something with Fast seemingly unloved after all.

I'm not sure it'll be a fantastic little machine, but I'm not sure I see the difference they are trying to fill.
