interesting...

 

Hummm Dodge Viper'ish

 

From the AMG forum, I believe this is the first car designed from the ground up by AMG.

I'm very happy with my trade of the 993 for an SL63, they are incredible cars.

 

You are exactly right ironimages, it looks like a new Chrysler product!

 

one word fugly!!!

 

Looks like a Viper, a crossfire, and and a big bowl of FUGLY got together and this is the result

 

It will only be $150,000

 

Just like they say, you always have more fun with the ugly girlfriend...
...and this one looks like lots of fun.


Now seriously, I just got an E63, and these AMG 63's are truly fun cars to drive.

 

They may have been testing the drivetrain in a viper chassis (hence the looks, and the pics of the car in the desert were a viper)...... Its been done before where manufacturers put components of other vehicles in their own or visa versa.

Porsche even did it with NSX Brakes etc on a 964.....

Conversly maybe they are using the viper platform for the new car. They are not the prettiest cars around but they sure do perform, especially the ACR.

 

It's not a viper platform, it's an all new platform developed by AMG. The link provided gives a nice amount of detail.

It will be well north of $150k, much more likely in the low 200's. An SL63 is over $150k when properly optioned (with the one that counts).

 

some non-camo shots, looks good to me.

I'm sure it will be a great performer, but I just can't find a line on the car that I really like. The proportions just seem odd to me. I know others love it..

 

Wouldn't it be better just to get one of these?

that hood is looooong!

 

The new SLS should be a pretty hot car. But styling wise, I'd much rather have the original version.
