BRIEF

AMG GT

Black is go

IT won’t arrive any time soon,

but AMG boss Tobias Moers

has confirmed a hardcore

‘Black Series’ variant of

the new GT supercar will

arrive later in its life cycle.

Before that, however, we’ll

see a convertible version

as well as a lighter, sharper

‘GT3’ version, which will sit

halfway between the regular

car and the Black. Moers

suggested to Autocar that

the GT3 will have around

410kW, with the Black Series

set to be more powerful

again. The regular GT is set

to land in Australia in June.

Morgan all

clear for Oz

MORGAN’S mad 3-Wheeler

is now available in Australia,

following a long and

difficult battle to gain local

compliance. Due to being

classified as a car, rather than

a bike as in its native UK,

the ‘M3W’ had to undergo

extensive changes in order

to pass the strict Australian

Design Rules. These included

changes to the lights,

electronics, induction system

and roll-over protection.

Being a ‘car’, it also qualifies

for luxury car tax, hence

the retail price being set

at $90,000. Despite the

steep price of entry, Morgan

currently holds around 500

expressions of interest.

New NSX concept
