Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Teased as Winged GT3 RS Competitor
According to Mercedes, it will be powered by a V-8 and is being developed to set new record drives, presumably with the Nürburgring at the top of that list.
Officially, the GT Track Sport is labeled a concept, but production is likely, as the brand says it offers a "glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family."
To give you an idea of where the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe falls on the sliding scale between surgical and brutish in its demeanor, take a look at our most recent review, where we compared the 2025 GT63 S E Performance to a hippopotamus. Thankfully, despite the GT Coupe's brash nature, Mercedes-AMG hasn't given up on it and instead developed a new track-focused model aptly named the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport.

According to Mercedes, the new GT Track Sport is being developed "to set record new times," which we can only assume means the automaker is planning a Nürburgring attempt in the near future.
No performance details are given, but with Mercedes seemingly targeting competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, upgrades are sure to be plentiful. Given the on-track performance focus of the new concept, it's likely the GT Coupe ditches the 2+2 layout in favor of a strictly two-seat design. And while the entire car is shrouded behind a camouflaged curtain, the large front splitter and aggressive swan-neck rear wing stick out as performance upgrades.

There's no word on output yet, but we do know the GT Track Sport sticks to a V-8 mill under the hood. Between the GT55 and the GT63 trims, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 setup in the current AMG GT lineup produces between 469 and 603 horsepower. Add in the hybrid batteries of the GT63 S E Performance, and the combined output surges to 805.

Mercedes hasn't confirmed that the GT Track Sport is actually headed for production. The model is officially labeled as a concept, but given that Mercedes says the teaser offers a "glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family," we fully expect it to enter production. Here's hoping that, despite the car's name, the Mercedes-AMG team kept its cool long enough to fill out the requisite paperwork to make the GT Track Sport road legal.

Leicester: Wilfred Ndidi undergoing medical this Thursday at Besiktas
After several years at Leicester, the Nigerian midfielder is set to continue his career in Turkey. Leicester: Wilfred Ndidi undergoing medical this Thursday at Besiktas Wilfred Ndidi is undergoing his medical this Thursday, August 7, 2025, in Istanbul with Besiktas. The Nigerian defensive midfielder is leaving Leicester City to join the Turkish club in a permanent transfer worth €9.5 million. An agreement between the two clubs was reached earlier this week. The 28-year-old is about to start a new chapter in his career after eight seasons in England. The Super Eagles defensive midfielder landed in Turkey today to finalize his move to Besiktas. The Black Eagles' management triggered a release clause in the player's contract to seal a deal that had been dragging on for several weeks. The Nigerian international, who has 62 caps, is set to sign a three-year contract with an option for a fourth season. This signing marks a major investment for Besiktas, who are counting on Ndidi's European experience to bolster their midfield. A product of KRC Genk, Ndidi joined Leicester in January 2017 and became one of the team's key pillars.

Como reject Tottenham's offer for Nico Paz
Serie A side Como saw Nico Paz impress last season and now, Tottenham have come forward for the attacking midfielder. With James Maddison out for months due to an ACL injury, Spurs are trying to sign another midfielder. Gianluca di Marzio reports that Tottenham tried to offer €40 million for the Argentine player at Como, who rejected the approach. This is because the Italian side want a fee of €70 million but a fee of €60 million will be needed for Tottenham to start initial negotiations. Real Madrid still have control over Paz's future but Como are trying to remove all their clauses. As things stand, Real Madrid can decide to match any fee that Como earn from the sale to sign the player again or if not that, they will stand to earn 50 percent of the fee earned. This can be a vital aspect for Tottenham, who can now be desperate for a midfield signing. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN

Egelhof opens its first factory in Poland
The Egelhof Group, a Germany-based company specialising in the production of expansion valves for e-mobility and air conditioning, has opened its first factory at B1 Park in Radom, Poland. The new factory is part of the group's strategy and drive to further expand into European markets. The selection of the factory was based on an analysis of critical factors for the effective operation of a production facility. Colliers, an international investment management company specialising in the real estate sector, advised Egelhorf on site selection and lease negotiations. Filip Deleżyński, Colliers' logistics and industrial agency director, said: 'We have indicated Radom to Egelhof as a location with great potential, suitable for a production plant. The city is distinguished by a stable labour market, where employee turnover is lower than in the largest Polish centres, and less competition from global brands creates favourable conditions for new investors.' Grzegorz Paluch, also a director of logistics and industrial agency at Colliers, highlights that BI Park Random has "been specialised in metal processing for many years" and that "the individual approach of the property owner to the tenant" is expected to streamline the launch of operations in September. Katarzyna Bojanowicz, vice president of Bojanowicz Investments, said: "The favourable location and easy access to highly qualified staff, especially in the manufacturing sector, are key assets of this venture and will be invaluable in supporting the company's business goals in Poland." Egelhof has been operating for 80 years and specialises in the production of expansion valves as well as control components for the automotive and heating industries. Its products are used by leading manufacturers worldwide. "Egelhof opens its first factory in Poland" was originally created and published by Investment Monitor, a GlobalData owned brand.
