Spy footage captures the next-gen Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe being tested in various colors on the Nürburgring and nearby roads. The cars feature a distinctive front-end styling with angled vertical slits and a narrow opening along the bottom. The profile showcases a sleek design with a simple arch for the roofline, fender vents, and a sharp crease running backward. The rear boasts smooth sculpting, skinny taillights, and trapezoidal exhaust pipes. The AMG GT Coupe shares underpinnings with the latest Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and is expected to offer a range of powertrains, including PHEV versions. Mercedes is unveiling the new AMG GT through a sneak preview event, which has already sold out, but the official debut date is yet to be announced.
A spy video of the upcoming 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLC Coupe has been released, showcasing the performance SUV in camouflage. The new GLC Coupe is expected to have a more aggressive design, wider and longer than its predecessor, with an AMG-specific grille, modified front bumper, larger air intakes, pronounced side skirts, and a sporty diffuser with four exhaust pipes. It is rumored to feature a 671-horsepower powertrain, making it significantly more powerful than the current GLC 43 Coupe. The official launch date is yet to be confirmed, but it is expected to debut later this year as a 2024 model.
Audi is giving the Q7 a second facelift instead of transitioning the luxury SUV to a new-gen model, as the company is focused on EVs. The partially camouflaged prototype spotted in Scandinavia features a revamped front fascia with redesigned headlights and front grille, along with an updated bumper. The Q7 may offer third-row seating, but its two domestic rivals have more room for rearmost passengers. It's likely too late in the ICE game to stretch the SUV for a Q9, but a true three-row EV is likely a matter of time.
Porsche is preparing for a mid-cycle update of its Sport and Cross Turismo electric duo, with a new spy video showing the Taycan Sport Turismo being pushed hard around the Nürburgring. The facelift is expected to bring discreet styling updates, with the biggest novelty being the long-rumored GT sedan. Porsche's goal is for EVs to account for more than 80% of annual sales by 2030, which is why the 2024 Macan EV and 2025 718 EV will be followed by an electric Cayenne and a bigger three-row SUV with no combustion engine in the latter half of the decade.
A new spy video shows the next-generation BMW M5 sedan testing at the Nurburgring race track, covered in camouflage. The new M5 will be a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, borrowing the setup from the BMW XM, which can make up to 738 horsepower in the XM Label Red trim. The M5's powertrain will be the brand's twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. The sedan is expected to make around 700 hp, far more than the 617 hp offered in the M5 Competition. The next-generation BMW M5 won't be debuting anytime soon, likely not until sometime in 2024.
