No Skill Required: Should Mercedes Consider Building A Self Drifting Mid-Engine Hypercar?

Could Mercedes offer a mid-engined rival for McLaren’s 650S, or even its P1? The suggestion is a ‘credible’ one, according to AMG boss Tobias Moers.

Asked by Top Gear if AMG – the performance division now wholly incorporated into the Mercedes mother ship – was considering a move into the world of mid-engined supercars, Moers admitted there was space above the AMG GT S (pictured) in the Merc line-up for an even more powerful proposition.

“There will be more members of the AMG family in the future. The hypercar is always a credible business case,” he told us. “From a technical perspective, from an engineering perspective, we could make something.”
