According to the latest reports, it appears that AMG, the official Mercedes-Benz performance brand, will produce its own version of the new entry-level coupe from the German manufacturer which will be previewed by the F800 Style Concept at next month's Geneva Motor Show. With this new car, the German brand wants to take on cars such as Vw's Golf R and the Audi S3. Like these cars, the new AMG coupe will carry a turbocharged 2.0-litre direct-injection, four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The new car will also carry a four-wheel drive system which will be shared with the new BLK, a small SUV to rival the Bmw X1. The car is likely to carry around 300 hp and will also use a range of standard fuel-saving technologies such as automatic stop-start, brake energy recuperation and a gearshift indicator.
