uhhm... nah

what kind of market does this cater for?

you're a 40 yr old fart... metric tonne of cash.... would you get this? or a brute amg v12 sedan.

or maybe you're a young punk with some cash... people would be like "sweet car, i like the mods and bodykit... what did your dad upgrade to?"

make it look tough, but mature. that thing is confusing.

It's a showcase of what can be done. So yes, it's an intentional mismash of tuning ideas, and, like any concept, if it did go into production the end product would be a toned down version. Lose the guard vents, change the wheels and tidy the front and you'll have an executive muscle car that won't start falling apart within the first 10 years like the other options on the market.

And AMG don't have a V12 in their line up anymore.

What's exciting is that they got approval to spend time and money building it in the first place. You've got to admit, Lexus has done some amazing stuff for a 'marque' that started with this just a couple of decades ago:

Mercedes do still offer a Biturbo 6 litre V12, the M275. It't in the S65 AMG, the SL65 AMG, the CL65 AMG and the G65 AMG. 1000 Nm and 612 hp.
