it home reported on august 30 that the automotive media carbuzz published a blog post yesterday (august 29), reporting that the mercedes-amg purespeed ​​development evaluation work has now entered its final stage.started test drive activities in various parts of italy

it home reported in may this year that mercedes-amg released the first concept car of its limited, high-priced "mythos series", called purespeed, an open-top two-seater sports car inspired by the company's iconic retro racing and f1 racing cars.


a collaboration with pininfarina, which is also very good at its own low-volume cars, the project will only see 250 units built, with an unknown price tag.


although mercedes hasn't explicitly said so, the purespeed ​​is clearly based on the company's sl63 convertible, using the same headlights and taillights, and is the company's most extreme convertible, with no windshield or roof to protect occupants from the elements.

in its place, there's an f1-style halo roll cage, a small spoiler, and a pair of aerodynamically optimized helmets designed to maximize airflow over this sports car.

the front bumper abandons the traditional mercedes grille in favor of a streamlined, grille-less shark nose design, while the lower grille is decorated with a white-painted amg logo.

mercedes says development work is in its final stages and test drives are currently underway, first on northern italian roads before heading south to the famous nardò proving ground.
