Your Smoking CRACK if you think this is their MOON SHOT! Already superior Hyper cars that go faster than the AMG One are built and shown off both EV and Hybrid and as @balthazar has pointed out, you can get an emission legal Hemi that does what this motor says it will do but cannot pass emissions. This MB Halo car is already old news, old hat and old tech. Plus if it was so close to passing emissions then why do they have to delay it by 2 years? ? This is what all auto companies do to projects that are already on the possible chopping block due to economics and money lossing cash flow. AMG One I am calling it now is DEAD!

Your ignoring the facts that MB is now facing multiple billions of dollars of fines due to their own FRAUD on Diesel. As such, I doubt this project will survive as they cut costs to stay profitable and alive. VW currently is at $33.6 Billion in fines and still not done. https://www.wardsauto.com/industry/volkswagen-s-dieselgate-costs-top-336-billion That kind of cash loss will HURT MB and make them look at projects like the AMG One and Kill it. Right now the Delay is just that, time to assess if they can really afford to spend money on it or just kill it and take their lumps and move forward. Very cool read, thanks for posting. Course unlike MB, this is a specialty build auto on a small company so they can get away with an F1 911 from the 80's unlike MB which is going to have to meet current year Spec emissions. I honestly do not think the AMG One will make it to market as it was originally intended.

I would recommend betting on it being canceled than continuing this NON-PROFITABLE project as the fines are just starting and while Europe may settle for $1 billion Euros, the US is going to hit hard like VW and it will be huge. Common sense says a company will cut its losses when it comes to surviving. I bet this gets canceled after all, better to invest it in an EV, Hybrid or current auto's that make money than a Halo auto that cannot even start yet without heating oil. DEAD ON ARRIVAL! There is a reason F1 is a dying sport and Formula E has taken over.

GM, Ford and Ram did NOT commit FRAUD! GERMANY COMMITTED FRAUD!

Guess for Europe with small WWII roads, the subcompact to compact class makes sense, but over all while the lower cost of a platform makes sense, I question the real value long term as independent companies.

That is what happens when you post from a Smartphone with limited screen size. I posted into the wrong thread. Was thinking originally Random. Loving my all LED 6500K lights around the house. so bright and nice. At least when I need to do repairs I do them to code and correctly and do not end up with a mess like this failure. Only in Russia do you find these kinds of heater repairs.

Outstanding read on the question of how to make money on a $20 cheeseburger and how to apply this to auto companies like Lyft and Uber. Startups And The $20 Cheeseburger Problem http://flip.it/XgCors First Mary K car? ?

Are ya sure you want to be that nice about 2012 and not maybe 2002?

So my 4 bulb 4ft long florescent fixture 20 plus years old in the garage went out. Replaced it with two 4 ft deluxe daylight 6500K light fixtures. Should have done this years ago, so nice and bright like being in the sun which is what 6500K led bulbs are equal too.

Not sure how people cannot stay in their lane but also how some one else can hit and run. Crazy accident day. also saw an old couple in a 2nd gen SRX cadillac that turned into a black F150.hitting the rear bumper and barely any damage to the truck, but the nose was gone on the SRX and the radiator was leaking fluid. Tow for sure. Then just got to 24hr fitness, coming down the off Ramp from I5 freeway, a S-class Mercedes turned right into the off ramp and just barely missed hitting an accord. Clearly they were confused as I think the wanted the next road up into the Resident Inn. I could see the Accord driver was freaked as were the MB owner. Leg day, time to burn some calories.

Maybe he was looking at Diesel or Future of ICE Autos.

Generations is a good way to look at an auto. Cadillac has continually improved. Vinyl wrap a new truck to look old? ? I just do not get these wraps.

I wonder if the world is not pushing towards a government system much like that in the Movie Starship troopers. You have a cast system of the rich and not being citizens is OK with them as they have the money and everyone else that must serve the global gov to get citizenship and basic benefits. Agree with much of what everyone here thinks about the lack of respect for the constitution. In other random thoughts, I think China will ignor and join Russian in full normal relations with Iran and take all their oil negating the idiots in DC of our country. Within 50 years, you will have to have a special permit to own and drive an ICE auto. Electric auto's with Solid state batteries are our future.

Not sure what year, but 70's era and sexy as hell. Clearly after market exhaust as it had a lovely deep rumble but not too loud or annoying annoying like ricer fart can rides or sti noise.

Weird, have not checked the site in a long time, but they had at one time allowed the P100D battery pack as an upgrade battery to the 325 mile battery pack. Interesting. Guess the month to month changes are real. Crazy that Tesla cannot seem to stay with a consistent sales model of what is and is not available and upgrade versus regular or premium. Thank you for letting me know. Will be interesting to test this same test against the F150 and Rivian trucks when they come out.

Hear Hear, 1,000,000 plus agree with you!

Recession coming based on oil trade changes. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-oil-is-likely-to-be-chinas-next-target-as-trade-war-rages-energy-analysts-warn/ar-AAFz5vu?li=BBnbfcL Hopefully everyone is focused on minimizing their debt to weather out the upcoming storm.

Piss poor styling, just Meh interiors and the coming recession due to trade wars and just a need for people to focus on paying down debt will cause for this adjustment to happen. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-oil-is-likely-to-be-chinas-next-target-as-trade-war-rages-energy-analysts-warn/ar-AAFz5vu?li=BBnbfcL Interesting read, but a glut of cheap oil with a global recession will cause massive adjustment to happen.

Sad Panda on the 3 banger, not a luxury engine or experience one would want in an auto.

The EV Semi's have also been stated that they are focused on inner city delivery where quiet and delivery strength is a short but all day route which makes much more sense than on long haul where either electric semi with generator of say LNG or Diesel would make greater sense. I do wish Tesla would release more detail proof of their semi hauling the 80K pound loads up and down hills and the actual range they got. With that said, the lack of details has not stopped UPS, FedEx, Amazon and others from placing orders for the trucks and they all have pretty much said it would be used for inner city deliveries to inner warehouse moving around of trailers where cleaner and less maintenance is desired. Gonna be interesting to see what comes of it. Thank you, yup that is the basic default battery pack. It would be interesting to get the top of the line battery pack and see how it does the same trip.

True, did they state the size of battery pack? I wonder if it was the default small battery pack as the miles stated seems to imply that and if you had the P100D battery pack, that would make a difference over the default basic pack I would think.

Sorry CCAP41, we have new hire training this week so I have been busy indoctrinating the new herd into the fold of Unstructured Data Storage, AKA Isilon File Storage and ECS Container storage or S3. Took a quick click click click through the video so have not watched the whole thing, but they hit on valid points about Electric auto's and for hauling the current generation of battery packs is not there for long haul battery packs. I would like to point out that they CHOSE to not recharge at the halfway point of taking the trailer, common sense hauling is even in an ICE, you would top off your tank to ensure you had range to get to your destination. I get that they wanted to see how the whole battery pack would handle a drive from point A to B and back, but they also ignore what every other Diesel or gas truck would have done and the would be to top off and ensure you had a full tank to get from point B back to A. On top of this as I have posted recently is the newer Solid state battery packs that are capable of putting the same kW hold such as the Chevy Bolt in 1/3 the space the currently battery pack takes or you can triple the range. We are nearing the next evolution of battery packs, currently you have 238 miles in an 800 pound battery pack as I am using the Chevrolet Bolt as my example here. With the new solid state battery packs such as the that designed by we can have a 266.7lb battery pack good for 238 miles or 800 lb battery pack good for 714 miles of range. Today electrics fall short much like ICE did in the early 1900's with limited gas stations, roads, etc. Yet today we have much better electrical infastructure, better tech and faster changing evolution of the batteries. Just a matter of time and over the next 10 years I expect many of the objections various folks here have thrown at EVs to disappear. @ocnblu Go ahead, I expect you to down vote this as usual. Yet this is the beginning of the next revolution in auto transportation and you can enjoy for your last 30-40 years or so your ICE auto. I will move forward with exciting technology on both new auto's and rebuilding of old auto's with EV powertrains.

@balthazar Saw this, this morning and thought of you as the videos of all the lovely old auto's is awesome. Sad the Farmer is dead, but his collection is on auction today and tomorrow. I would love to have a few of these auto's. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/classic-cars/a-minnesota-farmer-spent-his-life-collecting-cars-and-now-his-gigantic-fleet-is-up-for-auction/ar-AAFxbIe

Congratulations, I hope all falls in place so you can unload the rental property, sell your existing house and end up in a new house with that CT6 Sport you want!
