That amounts to around 5.2 lbs per hp вЂ“ an unrivalled figure in the super sports car segment, and one that guarantees exceptionally dynamic performance. With an aluminium spaceframe body and components in carbon fiber, the material of choice in motor racing, the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo tips the scales at only 3053 pounds. It develops 577 hp (430 kW) and a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. The AMG V8 biturbo engine delivers an exceptionally agile response to even the smallest movements of the accelerator. This makes the Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo look even more aggressive. The red-glowing contour lines on the lower part of the vehicle create an effect similar to that of exterior ambient lighting and stand out from the silver-painted bodywork. This impression is reinforced by the hood with its expressive forms and motorsport details, such as the release catches on the hood and the fuel cap, for example.

The angled headlights, with their color scheme and determined look, convey a sense of sportiness and readiness to leap forward. The dynamic aura is accentuated by an extended, dramatic side contour and a pronounced bulge to the wheel arches, which blend into the low-slung, muscular bodyshell.

The sports car proportions that are a typical Mercedes feature have been reinterpreted: the long hood has a flowing transition into a compact greenhouse offset to the rear, which takes the form of an aerodynamically efficient water drop to descend slightly at the rear, where it rests on the rear end with broad shoulder contours.
