The beautiful Mercedes-AMG just became much more attractive.



Bloomberg reports that the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT is 450 pounds lighter than the SLS AMG, and the European pricing makes us believe that U.S. price will be right around $100,000.

First, we know that the AMG GT’s chassis is composed of nearly all-aluminum, and the wheelbase is 6″ shorter than the SLS, and the AMG GT has also gone forward without the iconic gullwing doors of the SLS, resulting in almost the entire 440 lb weight loss that was predicted.

Bloomberg is also reporting the Mercedes-AMG GT’s European base price will be close 100,000 Euros. That’s $129,000, USD – but let’s look at comparable cars: For example, the Jaguar F-Type R’s European base price also happens to be 103,700 Euros. Yet, the Jaguar costs $99,000 in the United States.

U.S. citizens tend to get cars at a nice discount compared to the heavily-taxed Europeans, so it’s safe to assume the Mercedes will follow suit.

In the meantime, enjoy the eye candy below. The AMG GT is one beautiful car.
