And Mercedes has become a hybrid

21 March 2017

Paparazzi have caught camouflaged prototype hybrid Mercedes-AMG.

It took quite a bit of time with the moment when Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled the GT concept in Geneva, and now for the fresh air is quite efficient prototype variant from AMG. Despite the careful camouflage with clumsy hump on the trunk lid, in terms of another Mercedes masterpiece, filmed fotosporno of the edition of the Motor 1 in manufacturing buildings of Far, clearly visible fine lines Geneva "show-stopper".

The future rival of the hatchback Porsche Panamera, a four-door sports ultimately the newest from AMG is not yet has its own name.

But the specific external mirrors, carefully camouflaged the narrow rear lights and lamps "gold" brake calipers, borrowed from the concept, we can assume that the title will be concise, GT4.

Rather, under the hood of the new flagship hid bi-turbocharged 4-liter engine from  the AMG V8, outstanding full-length 577 HP at 700 N·m of torque. But we must remember that it is not the most powerful variant of the existing the firm line of engines. In got version V8 with 603 HP and a torque of 850 nm.

But the highlight of that the hybrid version to this engine can be added to a motor mounted in the rear axle, with the amount with which the total capacity of the power plant of a sports car will achieve 805 HP adding the additional torque is less than for three hundredths of a second in the speed range from 0 to 86 km/h, which provides almost instant acceleration to speed of 100 km/h.

Most likely, the family of Mercedes-Benz AMG GT will be replenished in 2018 the debut of the novelty will take place after the start of production of new Mercedes-Benz CLS.
