As a current FL W204 C63 owner, AMG knows how to make a car. No one knows what they can do in this compact and lighweight segment as they have never done it before. But I can bet they will nail it out of the park on thei first attempt. The Porsche 911 is a tremendous benchmark, but it is not impossible. Just look at the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R. Not as fast as some of the 911's but it sure was a breath of fresh air in the car world. The fact that AMG is even trying is an accomplishment in itself. What is BMW doing? Building the next 1.2 liter 3 cylinder with duracell batteries hooked up to it? Might be great for sustainability and profits but for enthusiasts, they are all but dead in the water.
You know shit got real when MB AMG makes better performing and more engaging drivers' cars than BMW does.
