Holy crap, I hope that the Mercedes AMG GT will look like this.

A proper 911 rival.

That's beautiful! I don't know if I'd choose this or the F-Type, so many good-looking cars nowadays!

I'm also looking forward to the GT. Porsche got PISSED when AMG poached one of their top engineers on the 991 for the GT so it should be good dynamically considering he was no longer has the "handicap" of an engine behind the rear axle. And I have it on good authority from people whose opinion I respect that it is the best looking European car in decades. Some going as far as to say they prefer it to the original Jag E-Type. That render is nice, but I'm told the real thing is jaw-dropping.

Great news, and thanks for the insight. Didn't know that they hired a 991 guy, that car could be a milestone for Mercedes/AMG. And if it looks half as good as the people describe it... some people in Maranello, Weisach and wherever Jaguar resides might get nervous.

Do you plan to maybe even replace your SLS with the newer car?

Well, both are red. That's about it I would say.

If what Batterytender says is true, then there is no competition for the GT, not from Jag and not from Porsche...

To me the AMG GT looks like a Z4 "Mercedes-fied". The general design curves etc match with Mercedes curves thrown on top.

Nah, keeping the SLS. I might buy the black series version of the GT in 2016/2017 to park beside though.

I would say it looks like a SLS with new headlights and the current Mercedes grill. But to each their own.

I don't see this as a bad thing, the Z4 is a very pretty car.

I do too, however, I just wish there was a bit more uniqueness to the AMG GT :/

I don't see much SLS in there, the roofline is completely different. I actually really love the SLS and wish I saw more of it in there :(
