Leave a comment

Two years ago, Mercedes-AMG started the story of a special brand, Mythos, which will produce luxury cars with sports characteristics. In May, it was announced that the first car of this brand will be the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, which debuted a few days ago in Abu Dhabi.

The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed ​​will be produced in limited numbers, with only 250 examples being offered to enthusiasts and collectors. Engineers found inspiration for certain elements in Mercedes’ legendary racing 300 SLR, with which the Stirling Moss/Denis Jenkinson crew won the Italian Mille Miglia race. In addition to the reinforcement behind the seat backrest, the safety of the driver and passenger in the event of a rollover is also ensured by a tubular titanium structure with three points of fastening, similar to the solution that has been used on Formula 1 cars since 2018

“The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed ​​is the most direct way to experience performance and fun at the wheel. Thanks to the car’s radically open design with no roof or windscreen, nothing separates the driver and passenger from the elements,” said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH and Head of Business Units Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach.

Compared to the standard SL model, the PureSpeed ​​has better intakes, a unique hood, a better rear diffuser and trunk lid, a retractable rear spoiler, and unique 21-inch forged wheels with carbon covers.

Inside, equipment concept in crystal white/black with AMG Performance seats upholstered in special leather and unique decorative stitching with heated multi-contour seat function and exclusive optics, AMG Performance steering wheel, deep-pile AMG floor mats. In the middle of the dashboard in a drop-shaped housing made of visible carbon fiber is a custom-made analogue clock designed by IWC Schaffhausen.

When it comes to the powertrain, the PureSpeed ​​is powered by an AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine with 585 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, paired with AMG Speedshift MCT 9G. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 315 km/h.

It is equipped with special front and rear spoilers that ensure better cooling and reduce lift, a rear diffuser with four red-illuminated titanium/carbon tailpipes of the BRABUS sports exhaust system, carbon exterior components, a SportXtra suspension module that lowers the luxury sedan by up to 10 mm, 22-inch sports ten-spoke Monoblock Z “PLATINUM EDITION”, which improves the car’s aerodynamics and driving stability.

Mercedes-AMG announces its first all-electric SUV

Mercedes-AMG has released a teaser announcing the arrival of its first all-electric SUV. It will be developed on the AMG.EA platform and will arrive on the market in 2026.

The car will have a completely new design and will not be sold as a version of Mercedes’ high-performance SUV. The car is intended to be an AMG rather than an electric car, which in some ways calls into question the current capabilities that a high-performance electric SUV can deliver.

What do we know so far? Judging by the teaser, the all-electric SUV will have a more muscular body, a longer hood and a roof line similar to that of the Ferrari Purosangue. With a length of about 5.1 meters and a wheelbase of more than three meters, it will be similar to the Vision concept that was revealed in 2022. Also, it will have a wheelbase close to the all-electric flagship EQS SUV.

It will use the 800V architecture, a lightweight axial electric motor developed for AMG by the British company Yasa. It will be equipped with four electric motors with a total power of 1,014 Khp (746 kW), drive on both axles, active suspension and a battery specific to AMG cars.

More information coming soon.
