AMG’s brand new hardcore AMG is here!

The 2025 AMG GT63s Pro

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance is a significant addition to Mercedes' lineup, setting new benchmarks for the brand. This model, unveiled at the Shanghai Formula 1 Grand Prix, combines a robust 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a powerful electric motor, resulting in a combined output of 805 horsepower and 1,047 lb-ft of torque. This setup enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.7 seconds, making it the fastest-accelerating AMG series production model ever​.

The hybrid system, inspired by F1 technology, includes a 201 hp electric motor mounted on the rear axle and a high-performance battery, which together enhance the car’s performance and handling. This electric motor can provide additional propulsion and improve traction by distributing power to the front wheels when necessary. The car also features advanced technologies such as active roll stabilization, fully variable all-wheel drive, and active rear axle steering, ensuring a dynamic and responsive driving experience

Despite the added weight from the hybrid system, the GT63 S E Performance maintains agility and performance, offering a blend of extreme power and cutting-edge hybrid technology. This model is set to arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2024 and is poised to be one of the most exclusive and high-performing coupes in the market.

Bye, bye A5/S5/RS5…

Audi has announced that it will discontinue the A5 Coupe and Cabriolet models. This move is part of Audi’s larger strategy to transition towards electric vehicles and streamline its product lineup. Production of these models is set to end soon, leaving the A5 Sportback as the only remaining A5 variant. The decision comes amid declining consumer interest in coupes and convertibles, with more buyers preferring other body styles. Audi aims to replace these models with more sustainable and technologically advanced options in the future.

The Maybach-SL is coming

Not much is known, but the new Maybach version of the Mercedes SL Roadster has been seen in spy shots. The interior is expected to offer more luxury and customization compared to standard Mercedes models. New leather options, more colors, more trim options and so on.

The powertrain could include the strongest AMG engines, though a 12-cylinder is unlikely. The new luxury roadster from Germany might debut Q4 2024 or late Q1 of 2025, combining high-end features with performance.

BMW M Cars are selling better and better

BMW is experiencing a significant increase in sales of its M performance cars, with a 5.1% rise in the first half of 2024, totaling almost 100,000 units. This surge includes both high-performance M models and the more affordable M Performance versions.

The latest models, like the M5 G90 and the soon-to-be-released M5 Touring G99, are drawing a lot of interest as the company explains. BMW is also planning to introduce M versions of its future electric vehicles, such as the iX3, i3 sedan, i3 wagon, and iX4, to continue expanding the M division’s popularity - the future looks bright.
