Mercedes-Benz is set to introduce a whole new range of cars to its lineup. The new model range will be dubbed AMG Sport and will fill the gap between the standard AMG sports pack and the full-blown AMG cars.

Is AMG Sporta more affordable AMG?

“The new Sport models represent a convincing proposition for our customers: genuine sports car technology becomes accessible, appealing to an even broader-ranging clientele worldwide,” observes Tobias Moers, Chairman of AMG.

According to AMG, the AMG Sport models will include uprated engine output, all-wheel drive as standard in selected markets and special chassis components and brake systems from the classic AMG models. The first two AMG Sport models are set to be unveiled at the International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2015. It is planned to add further models to this new product line in due course.

From the teaser picture accompanying the release, the first two models in the range could be the GLE Coupe (old M-Class) and the Merc C-Class Coupe although it’s hard to tell from the image.
