Yeah the price tag doesn't seem justified
For a heck of a lot less you can get a M5 with almost identical performance numbers, handling and comfort/luxury
They should have made this a lot more special for the price, maybe made it 700hp for starters

Yeah, especially since Mercedes is preparing to release a new flagship trim for AMG, the 73, and it will likely be on the AMG GT Coupe and 4-Door. Apparently it will have the 63 drivetrain (bi-turbo 4L V8) and will be paired to a hybrid/electric drivetrain/motor and will likely make 700hp!
I'd love to see M start taking some more risks or being more creative with their engines again, similar to the bangle era with the V10 M5/6
and V8 M3, I don't really care for them making electronic brakes and more and more items to configure with drive modes.
