AMG Teases Extreme GT Track Sport as Blueprint for Next-gen GT3 and Black Series

Mercedes‑AMG previews the Concept AMG GT Track Sport, the foundation for the next-gen GT3 racer and the upcoming GT Black Series.

"2023 Lotus Emira: AMG Power and British Poise in a Compact Package"

The 2023 Lotus Emira I4, equipped with an AMG-sourced 2.0-liter inline four engine, offers a unique driving experience that combines British poise with German power. While the transition to an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox may disappoint purists, the Emira aims to cater to a wider market by offering improved comfort and practicality. With 360 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque, the Emira I4 delivers impressive performance, reaching 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds. The car's balance, poise, and exceptional steering make it a joy to drive, although some issues with the gearbox's responsiveness have been noted. Despite its strengths, the Emira I4's starting price of $99,900 may face tough competition from rivals like the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0.

The new E-Class sedan is expected to be a bit longer for greater interior room and a bit sleeker for better fuel economy. The biggest question among enthusiasts is whether it'll retain the V8 engine. The coupe and convertible are being retired, along with the smaller two-door C-Class models, and will be replaced with a CLE Coupe and CLE Convertible, complete with spicy AMG derivatives.
