Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the super sports concept car – Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo, at Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai. The concept car boasts of extreme proportions, sensual contours, and high-tech blend to form a body, that visually brings to life the performance of 583bhp and 800Nm of torque.
This vehicle will be on display at the Cultural Centre till May 2024 and viewers can interact with a video of the car via the QR Code. This is the third concept car Mercedes-Benz has displayed in India after the Vision Maybach 6 and the Concept EQG.
Lance Bennett, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz India commented, “Mercedes-Benz is the most desirable luxury brand, and our vehicles are inspired by a blend of sensual design and future technologies. Mercedes-AMG GT 6 accentuates our hallmark design philosophy, evoking emotions through its styling.”
He added, “With this vehicle, we reiterate the desirability and exclusivity that is core to our brand, inspiring discerning customers and brand enthusiasts, the world over. The Cultural Centre, with its exclusive and modern ambience, is the perfect place to showcase this top-end futuristic concept car in India. We are glad to witness the ecstatic response and intrigue our concept cars are creating from our customers and enthusiasts, be it the Vision Maybach 6, the Concept EQG, and now the AMG GT 6.”
The vehicle’s long bonnet 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. The aura is accentuated by an extended, side contour and a pronounced bulge to the wheel arches, which blend into the low-slung, muscular bodyshell.
The angled headlamps, with their colour scheme and determined look, convey sportiness and readiness to leap forward. This impression is reinforced by the bonnet with its motorsport details, such as the release catches on the bonnet and the fuel cap, for example.
Another feature is the radiator grille – a reinterpretation of the wide Mercedes-Benz sports car grille with a central star. Its shape is reminiscent of the legendary 300 SL racing car of 1952. However, instead of classic louvres the grille of the show car features LEDs.
