There's also been no secret that AMG wants electric motor torque in the future.

I still have to force myself not to laugh whenever I see one of these on the street. There was a guy around my old place in PA who was quite large all around, I would estimate 6'3 and 350-400 lbs....and he had a smart car convertible. It looked absolutely ridiculous, reminded me of clowns in a buggy but hey, whatever works.

Guess he's been driving his Smart to the unlimited smorgasbord, instead of the gym.
