Before the upcoming 2014 New York Motor Show, Mercedes Benz has decided to tease two images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor to the SLS AMG – the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
“The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before,” said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.
According to the automaker, a dominant aspect in the cockpit of the GT is the stylistic evolution of the central “aviation design” theme.
The dashboard places four central climate-control spot vents and single vents at the left and right ends of the dashboard. The dominant centre stack’s shape is reminiscent of a NACA scoop and its materials suggest that it has been adopted directly from motor racing. Another clever design feature comes in the form of the controls on the AMG Drive Unit, which are arranged like the cylinders of a V8 engine.
The Mercedes-AMG GT is set for a debut in the fall at either the Paris or Los Angeles motor shows, and hopefully we’ll hear more on it ahead of its official debut later this year, and maybe we’ll learn why ‘Benz’ was dropped from the car’s official name. Did you notice that?
