Mercedes-AMG is thinking of a rival two-seater sports car of the Porsche 718

The model would be declined in coupe and roadster.

The Alpine A110 and the Porsche 718 will soon be in battle with a model signed Mercedes-AMG? According to Autocar's English journalists, this scenario is quite plausible …

Mercedes-AMG would indeed be thinking of launching a two-seater sports car that would indirectly replace the SLC. Of rather compact dimensions, it would take again some elements of style of the hypercar Project One. The engineers at Affalterbach, who according to the same source are just beginning the studies, would consider installing the engine at the rear of the car, but not excluding the engine track at the front.

More accessible than an AMG GT, this model would target the Porsche 718 and, can to a lesser extent, the Alpine A110. Just like the Porsche, which exists in Cayman hard-top and Boxster versions with soft top, it would be available in coupe and roadster. As far as fares are concerned, it is roughly at the level of its rivals, who start at just over 50,000 euros. Thus, this car would allow Mercedes-AMG to expand its customer base by attracting people who do not necessarily have the means to buy a GT. The thinking heads of the brand also believe that a GT4 version could be favorably welcomed by competition enthusiasts looking for a relatively affordable mount.

Still according to the same source, the two-seater coupe would be available with two engines at launch. It would probably be four-cylinder turbo 2.0-liter AMG A35 and AMG A45 (remember that it will display a power of at least 400 hp). Other more powerful engines could integrate the range thereafter.

If the direction gives the green light, this car will be the fifth specific model of AMG, after the SLS, the GT, the GT 4 doors and the Project One of more than 1000 hp
