Mercedes-AMG Concept AMG GT Track Sport Teased, Gets Enhanced Performance And Boldness
Once the model enters production, it will compete against the track-capable offering from Porsche named 911 GT3 RS.
The German carmaker Mercedes-Benz has added a new chapter to its book of performance history. It has unveiled the concept avatar AMG GT Track Sport to dominate the race tracks. The model will use a V8 engine to balance the existing AMG GT lineup, while other important specs are kept under wraps as of now.
Idea Of AMG GT Track Sport
The idea of introducing the impressive concept originated from Affalterbach, aiming to unleash the peak performance on the race track and set new records. The company also released a few photos of the high-performance offering, hinting at the aerodynamic design and style statement.
Overall Look
Despite being teased with heavy camouflage, the model somehow flaunts a very aggressive presence. It gets massive spoilers at the back, high-performance wheels, and has been treated with big active air vents to achieve peak performance.
Currently, the GT range uses four eight-cylinder variants that churn out a peak performance of 463 bhp and go up to 794 bhp. Once the model enters production, it will compete against the track-capable offering from Porsche named 911 GT3 RS. The model has been getting a lot of praise for its design, performance, and bold road presence.

Ferrari boss backs Lewis Hamilton to make a comeback after miserable Hungarian GP
Lewis Hamilton received support from his Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur on Sunday just hours after the Briton cut a dejected figure following a lacklustre drive to 12th place in the Hungarian Grand Prix. While team-mate Charles Leclerc proved unable to convert Ferrari's first pole position of the season into victory due to unexplained mechanical problems during the race, seven-time champion Hamilton was battling to escape midfield and finished where he started. As on Saturday, when he was dumped out of Q2 and appeared miserable, claiming he was 'completely useless' and saying the team should 'bring in another driver', Hamilton seemed utterly deflated. To most observers, it appeared as if the pressures of living up to the hype of his spectacular marquee move from Mercedes, where he won six titles, and adjusting to the culture, car and expectations at Ferrari were overwhelming him. At 40, talk of imminent retirement circled around him. But Vasseur was swift to defend Hamilton, who has always been prone to impulsive heart-on-sleeve reactions. 'I don't need to motivate him,' said Vasseur. 'Honestly, he's frustrated, but not demotivated. 'He's demanding, but I think it's also why he's (a) seven-time world champion. I can perfectly understand this situation. 'Sometimes, you are making comments on what the driver is saying (in) the car, but if you put the microphone on some other sportsmen, in football and so on, I'm not sure that it would be much better. 'Sometimes, just after the race or just after qualifying, you are very disappointed and the first reaction is harsh. I can understand the frustration, but we are all frustrated.' 'He will be back' Vasseur added Hamilton's weekend appeared worse than it really was because of the tight and competitive times that led him to miss out on reaching Q3 on Saturday. 'For sure, when you are a seven-time world champion, your team-mate is on pole position and you are out in Q2, it's a tough situation,' he said. 'But overall, we can also have a deep look that he was in front of Charles in Q1 and with the first set that he was one-tenth off in Q2. We were not far away from having the two cars out in Q2. 'I can understand the frustration from Lewis. That's normal and he will come back. He was stuck in a DRS train, but when he was alone, the pace was good. 'I'm sure that he will be back and he will perform.' Fourth-placed Leclerc backed his team-mate. 'At the end, we are one team and as much as I want to finish in front of Lewis, I want both of us to be successful and for Ferrari to be successful, and obviously this weekend has been a tough one for Lewis,' Leclerc said. 'But I have no doubt that it's a one-off and I'm sure the second part of the season will be a lot more positive.' Hamilton, sixth in the drivers' standings, but without a podium for Ferrari this year, said he was looking forward to a much-needed 'break from work' during F1's August holiday before the Dutch Grand Prix on the final weekend of this month.

Another Lambo In Flames? Viral Video From Bengaluru Sparks Billionaire Gautam Singhania's Safety Concerns
Last Updated: The car reportedly belonged to popular Instagram influencer Sanjeev, known as Nimma Mane Maga Sanju. A Lamborghini Aventador, worth a whopping Rs 10 crore, caught fire on a busy road in Bengaluru. In a video that went viral, people could be seen rushing with fire extinguishers as the luxury supercar went up in flames. As per NDTV, the car reportedly belonged to Instagram influencer Sanjeev, better known as Nimma Mane Maga Sanju. The incident left many stunned, but one man in particular took to social media to voice serious concerns – business tycoon Gautam Singhania. Why Is Singhania Upset? Gautam Singhania, chairman of the Raymond Group and a known automobile enthusiast, shared the viral video on Instagram with a strong message, as per Hindustan Times. 'Another day, another Lamborghini in flames. This time in Bengaluru," he wrote. 'This isn't a 'rare incident' anymore. It's a pattern. Why is Lamborghini silent? Why are their cars catching fire? Are they even safe for Indian roads?" His post didn't just express frustration—it posed some serious questions about the brand's responsibility and safety standards. Has This Happened Before? This isn't the first time a Lamborghini has gone up in flames in India. Back in December 2024, a Lamborghini Revuelto burned in Mumbai. Singhania had raised similar concerns then too, questioning the brand's quality control. 'For the price and reputation, one expects uncompromising quality—not potential hazards," he had said at the time. Who Is Gautam Singhania? Apart from leading Raymond Group, Singhania is also the founder of the Super Car Club in India. He has raced in the Ferrari Challenge series and was seen at this year's Monaco Grand Prix, proving his deep love for high-performance cars. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
