Wat we weten over de V12 supercar van Mercedes
V12? Supercar? Yes people, Mercedes picks up the glove back on and is working on a worthy successor of the SLR.

It’s been eleven years ago that Mercedes in conjunction with McLaren, one of the most desirable supercars in the world were born. The SLR could effortlessly compete with the Carrera GT and Murcielago’s, but after the stop in production in 2009/2010, they never have anything of that caliber, though. We got the gullwing-door-equipped SLS AMG, which has the slightly better made and more often broke than El Chapo, followed by the AMG GT (S) that the choice for a Porsche 911 to go can seriously complicate. But in the top of the supercar – or hypercarwereld they are since then not more.

That is going to change in the future. First we get a hotter version of the AMG GT, which is undoubtedly the Black Series label will wear, then there will be a completely new car to be put down. Autoblog.com talked to a product planner of Mercedes-AMG in Austria, which announced that there is a model above the AMG GT will be positioned. “Probably with a V12”, so speculate the Americans, supplemented with an electric motor and a battery pack. A hybrid setup which is probably the most powerful Mercedes ever and will produce. Think of something that is in the territory of the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ritz will give up.

A nice idea, that Mercedes, despite the increasingly stringent emission requirements, wants money to pump in a new halo car. When it comes is not known yet, but don’t count on the short term.

UPDATE: The ideas around a ultimate which hypercar are in the freezer. AMG are currently too busy with other things, according to AMG chairman Tobias Moers
