I agree. I hate how much Porsche holds back. I don't think I am going to buy another Porsche unless it's one of their GT car.

Seems like the guys at AMG really had fun with this one.

Here's another article on it. Love the color too!

Which is really weird at least for BMW since the platform over the last year has pretty much proven its conducive to more boost/ power and just as reliable.

Same thing I'll never get about the actual GTR lol why they keep doing tiny incremental bumps of power when offering power at FBO levels would easily place them back in the mix of fastest cars going. Instead they do these 5,10, or 50hp [the DBA bump I believe] crank bumps vs. actually really making people reassess what they buy lol

Looks sexy. I love where Mercedes has been going lately with their aesthetic.
