An EV Vette would be cool to see down the road... will be interesting to see the kind of performance Tesla gets out of their new roadster..

The AMG One is mythical, I would think the Tesla Roadster is more likely to happen and be faster..

AMG One will be on roads in 2021, the car works, it hitting emissions that needs the work.  I think they’ll beat the Tesla roadster to market and beat it in a track.

The AMG One might have been interesting 5 years ago, but now it would be just another hypercar.. Koenigseggegg is doing some really interesting things w/ ICE design. 

Yes!

A 3 cylinder.  No cams.  600 HP.  

Like you said. The AMG-One is soooooo 5 years ago.  An F1 engine in a road car...   Great idea...to link F1 racing and road cars.  Too bad it aint the 1990s anymore.

I don't know if it will be the Z06 or the ZR1, but I'd love to see a street C8 with the wing and bodywork of the C8R...

Yeah. Me too. Although the Stingray C8 is the first base Corvette that I like and probably will prefer over the more  hi-po versions in a long time.

Emissions is the hard part...

And emissions for ICE is getting stricter and stricter. And this is a race engine...that has to be engineered to be 1000 plus horsepower, to meet the engineering specs promised, WITHOUT CHEATING THE EMISSIONS PART...which are getting stricter and stricter to which Mercedes coulndt meet when the emission regulations were  relatively lax...

Daimler fined nearly $1 billion for selling cars that cheated emissions tests

At least 700,000 cars worldwide were designed to cheat

Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler has been hit with an €870 million (roughly $960 million) fine as part of a settlement with German prosecutors over the automaker’s own diesel cheating scandal. The fine comes in at the lower end of what was expected earlier this year.

The news comes just about four years to the day after Volkswagen’s Dieselgate scandal was exposed by the Environmental Protection Agency and California’s Air Resources Board. Volkswagen’s massive emissions cheating scandal, which affected 11 million cars worldwide, kicked off several investigations and lawsuits that helped uncover similar efforts at automakers like Daimler to skirt regulations on diesel vehicles.

Germany’s motor authority found that some 280,000 Mercedes-Benz C-class and E-class vehicles had been outfitted with software that made them look cleaner than they were during testing, similar to the grift that Volkswagen had pulled (though on a smaller scale). That led to a wider recall of some 700,000 affected vehicles around the world last year. Daimler also had to recall 60,000 GLK SUVs for the same issue earlier this year. The extent of Daimler’s cheating is still unknown, as an investigation by the US Department of Justice and a class action lawsuit in New Jersey are still ongoing.

I'd be happy with a base C8 (maybe w/ the Z51 suspension option) in Zeus Bronze w/ full tan interior..

AMG One will happen, Mercedes is going to be in Formula 1 another 10 years that they committed to, so the R&D is already there.

Also the Tesla will be heavy,  the Corvette needs to lose a 1,000 lbs of weight and double the horsepower to even get close to an AMG One.  I don’t know where GM engineers find 1,000 lbs to cut out of a C8 when the only way they know how add power is displacement and superchargers which adds more weight.

AMG One is DEAD, The web site implys that, MB does not talk about it and all links are dead that used to be active. They are cutting everywhere. Too late to the party, this is a product that never should have been to begin with. They should have focused on pure EV like Tesla.

It will be interesting to see what happens in F1 this year...if the season does indeed start in May or get cancelled completely...

<sarcasm> They should just can cancel the rest of the season and give the championships to M-B and Hamilton, as that is the usual predictable result..

This tends to make me feel more solid about the death of AMG One and their exit from F1 racing as MB has HUGE FINES still to come in their Diesel emissions problem. Right now, I bet Diamlers board is looking at how to save money as they cut loses.

That means F1 is dead, AMG One is dead especially since they are having major emissions problems with regular auto's and the FAILED AMG ONE cannot meet emissions.

Here is one of many stories that show the Arab counteries are falling inline with Europe emissions and will be removing emission polluting autos from their roads.

The Corvette doesn’t meet the WLTP emissions standards that AMG One is trying to make.  AMG wants this car to be world compliant, not a regional player.

The Corvette is being sold in the HERE and NOW...

The Corvette has a platform that WILL support hybrid EV with ICE and only ICE AND could be used to go 100% BEV...

Tadge was being coy when being asked about future possible C8 platformed Vettes...but he hinted LOUDLY and  CLEARLY  that the car is compliant with GM's future with EVs and BEVs and that the  platform is engineered that way...

PLUS...

the AMG-ONE is 

DEAD DEAD DEAD

 

And quite frankly...it and Mercedes go to HELL HELL HELL for all I care...

They haven’t used a supercharger in 10 years.  They went from 6.3 liter to 5.5 liter to 4.0 liters, and now they added mild hybrid system to the 4 liter V8 to help mileage and emissions.  And they did that in a 10 year span increasing power and fuel economy along the way.

The Corvette and Camaro can’t meet emissions in Europe either.  Which also means they don’t pass in South Korea, India or Japan that also use WLTP.  
 

Why isn’t GM fixing that?

Right. Mercedes isn’t selling in one country so they need to be all country compliant.  And AMG’s sales and product management head said in November 2019 that the One is “first priority at AMG”.  So it happening and the most important project they have.

“Wild Reports”  And again they don’t have a supercharger in 10 years, and AMG has cut displacement over 33% from the 6.3 V8 of a decade ago.  And all AMG 53’s are all mild hybrids and the 63’s are in the process of switching over, GLE and GLS already are.

On February 10, 2020 they signed a five year deal with Ineos ( I thought it was 10) and Mercedes committed to 5 more years of F1 and I don’t know if anyone else is committed that long.

OK, lucky I found the link to a better covering of this.

https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-arrogant-f1-team-pushed-ineos-to-mercedes-for-multi-year-deal/

The weird part is that while I could only find the link you provided above and the one I found below. MB own web site has ZERO Coverage of this.

https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/sports/

https://www.mercedesamgf1.com/en/

Everything that is on either of these two sites is either out of date or if it is on 2020, just related to the most recent F1 races or news of race status. Nothing about a new long term deal or anything more current than a year plus old info on AMG One.

2021 regulations on spending money should REALLY shake things up. I'm really looking forward to a much more level playing field as it should be a much more competitive field. It'll be interesting to see how some of these young, great drivers fair when they actually get a car that's competitive.

You're not wrong though. 2021 should be interesting as there will be an imposed spending limit and it should level out the field so the small teams can actually afford to put out a competitive car.

But the WLTP standards are tougher than US, so if the car passes in Europe it will pass here.  And most of what Mercedes doesn’t sell in the US is a diesel or a wagon.  Every model line is sold here, for cars anyway, not the commercial trucks and busses.

$3 million.

My original point was about Celestique costing more than a Porsche Taycan or more than an AMG GT63, perhaps more than a GT73 hybrid which will be on sale by then.  And that GM won’t allow Cadillac to make a sedan faster than a Corvette, even if GM engineers could figure out how to.  So Celestique won’t have performance of already a available product.  These leaves them with one option to win on luxury and have Bentley level interior but Cadillac hasn’t had a class leading interior in 50 years so how do they pull that off?

When looking at that site which I did post in response to SMK, I did not find that, so between the time I looked and you guys posting they must have added the info. Good to know they are invested at a shorter time. Glad they will continue to support F1. Thank you for posting as that is one of @smk4565 problems is running off the mouth with no valid links to back up his apple to orange comparisons.

Again, everything you have said here is purely subjective and just pure trolling which led to six pages of pure waste because you still stand by the baseless assumptions you have made. Meanwhile, you wholesale deflect this very same criticisms when they are aimed at Daimler. And Benz doesn’t even have a Bentley level interior so why the hell does Cadillac need to? Again, a bunch of random apples to oranges comparison by you all because GM is laying out a plan that Daimler won’t even fully commit to, EVs.

The A-class has nothing to do with the S-class.  The S-class has been the best car in the world for decades, it justifies it's price.  And S-class Maybach sales were up 10% last year.   Cadillac is going into space they never went before, without any track record of winning in the lower segments.

WOW, Clearly you are now wanting to say Cadillac has no history of building luxury barges before MB built an overpriced Maybach that now has FWD appliances as part of the family selling for $30,000.

Before you trash a brand, know the history.

I doubt Mercedes Benz was exporting any cars to the USA prior to the 1960s, so their best cars were all stuck in Germany.  It is not MB's fault Cadillac went downmarket with the original 1976 Seville, then came all of Cadillac's errors and MB/BMW took advantage in the 1980s.

I agree with you and understand that, but SMK speaks as if Cadillac never did a high end 6 figure luxury car before and has no ability to do that. They have done it, they can do it again and we now have to wait to see if the Celestiq can live up to the price tag.

Especially since it is an EV sedan.

MB started importing by '56-57. They partnered with Studebaker and used their dealerships for years and even advertised with the company. It was a long tough road, putting their cars in with Studebaker and instantly making them look 10 years older. When a mercedes S and a Studebaker Lark were on equal tiers...

But the Seville was an upmarket move, not down. Or if not up, at least a lateral.

Well, nobody currently working at Cadillac was a part of those 30's-40's vehicles so there really isn't any proof they have the ability to do it, yet.

Mercedes made the 770 in the 1930s and they made the 540K Roadster with a 1936 price of $68,000 or $1.25 million in today’s money.  And one recently sold for $11.7 million at auction.

And I am saying that Cadillac’s recent history even going back to the Allante gives no confidence that they can do a $200k car.  Nothing about GM operates today suggests they would do low volume vanity projects when platform and parts bin share is the company mandate.  And nothing suggests the public wants to pay $200k for a Cadillac when the CT6 and CTS got cancelled because they didn’t sell.  And the CT5 is sub $37k now.

We rely on these to pay for server costs and vehicle reviews.  Please consider whitelisting us in your ad-blocker, or if you really like what you see, you can pick up one of our subscriptions for just $1.75 a month or $15 a year. It may not seem like a lot, but it goes a long way to help support real, honest content, that isn't generated by an AI bot.

See you out there.
