LOL You need to re read the article. I don't hate AMG either. There is a reason why exceptional sportscars are rear or mid engined. If the AMG weighed less, its chassis and motor and brakes wouldn't have to work so hard. Sadly for AMG GT its going to get its clock cleaned by Vipers and Corvettes in international racing.
LOL? Why?
Thing is simple-we apparently did not read the same article...
"Our joy ride that day was another winged wonder—a mustard-colored Mercedes C111 coupe powered by a four-rotor Wankel engine. The venue, aptly nicknamed the wall of death, was a test track adjacent to Mercedes’ Unterturkheim manufacturing plant. Faced with insufficient land to create a suitable straightaway, some courageous architect proposed a turnaround loop banked at 90-degrees to effectively double the track’s length.
Uhlenhaut guided us on a couple of unforgettable laps with the calm assurance of a mother wheeling a baby stroller. When the C111 spiraled into the curve, its windshield filled with a wall of concrete. This gullwing’s rotary engine was naturally smooth without a flywheel; throttle response was so spontaneous, the tach needle couldn’t keep up with the whirring rotors. Its shrill wail sounded like a lion homing in on a kill.
Those vivid details sprang to mind when I recently scored another passenger-seat date with Mercedes. Tobias Moers, the recently promoted head of AMG, offered me a ride in the 2016 GT-S sports car that was built on a pilot line months ahead of regular production. AMG’s role is spinning Mercedes’ silver star like a roulette wheel to land customers who crave the latest strides in driving emotion. I was here to find out if AMG could top the experimental C111 in my mental scrapbook."
"Driving the GT-S on a racetrack or indulging its near-200-mph top speed might just topple the C111 from its lofty perch. But today I’m satisfied knowing that Tobias Moers, the modern Uhlenhaut, is the perfect enthusiast to guide AMG’s fortunes."
Let's hope for that
