As for potency, Tobias Moers did not want to compromise with numbers. “I'm not saying it's going to be the fastest production car ever, nor am I looking to stretch to full speed. For now we don't want to put any numbers on the table”, he says.
Still, Moers has promised a record attempt at the Nürburgring as soon as the car is released. The presentation of the super sports car could take place later this year – in time for the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of Mercedes-AMG – at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The first deliveries are scheduled for 2019 and each of the 275 copies produced will cost a modest sum of 2,275 million euros.
