Also, the stupid gimmicks. It's quiet but we're going to artificially make it noisy so you feel like an alpha 
It gets better
So it makes fake sounds and has paddle shifters that do nothing other than make fun widdle sounds

And while it's a pure EV, it can emulate a powerful AMG V-8, complete with a convincing soundtrack and simulated gearchanges.

The most interesting feature comes when you select the AMGFORCE Sport+ drive mode. That summons not only simulated gearshifts that can be controlled by the shift paddles, but also an amazing soundtrack carefully recorded from AMG's internal-combustion V-8s.

In addition to employing the high-end sound system to create these effects, AMG even installed shakers in the seats to add muscle to the bass rumble.

The old GT wasn't exactly beautiful.

That's not the 4 door.
The 2 door is still good looking today. The 4 door has always been terrible.

I would take this 4 door with an ICE engine over this new abomination with play sounds and fake paddle shifters any day. I wonder if you "shift" too early it makes sounds like the car is gonna die, or if you shift too late a warning light pops up on the dash telling you your RPMs are too high. Maybe they could also add a little blinking gas gauge when the charge gets low. There's so many options for the "we're faking a gas engine" experience

I found a video of the soon to be released Mercedes AMG motorcycle.

Front end has a '50's Buick look and the back has old Mazda/Supra styling.

It's an EV - no thanks.
It's still not as bad as Porsche keeping 'Turbo and Turbo S' models with Taycan, which is an EV.

Something about the rear immediately made me think of mid-90s Chevy Lumina.
The Lumina, even today, is probably more dependable.

Why do car makers think that anything electric needs to have a solid led light bar across the front?

The Gullwing is a beautiful car. From its looks, the iconic doors, and the sound from the naturally aspirated V8. I am not surprised it is one of the few cars that has kept its value.
Fun fact, the doors have built in pyrotechnics in case the vehicle ever flips upside down.

I prefer my own car

German luxury cars are trying to style themselves for the Chinese market.
The result is grotesque.
