The 1980s saw a trend with slasher films: often, a strong first movie would be followed by sequels that were cheaply made and didn’t live up to the original.

Okay, so the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door is a HUGE deal. It’s basically a total change of direction for AMG. For years, they’ve been all about those V-8 engines, but this new flagship model is going fully electric! It’s the first car to use their new ‘High Performance Electric Architecture,’ and it’s seriously impressive. They’re using three electric motors – not just any motors, but these new axial flux motors made by Yasa. Apparently, they’re way smaller and lighter than the usual kind, which means they could pack a lot more power into the car. This setup also lets them control the power to each wheel super precisely and even lower the car, making it way more aerodynamic. It’s a game changer, honestly!
