Anyone seen an AMG 1 on the road??

Mercedes suit... said:
"While its engine has its origins in competition, constant development and refinement have left us with a difficult decision for the US market. In order to preserve the unique character of its Formula 1 powertrain, we have concluded that meeting US road standards would significantly compromise its performance and its overall driving character. We have taken the strategic decision to offer the car for road usage in Europe, where it meets applicable regulations."

Seems like it'll be a show-&-display "import" for USDM. Styling is a bit tame (relative to the market segment), it's a rather overdue, but underneath the skin it'll likely be incomparable (actual F1 powerplant).

Aston's Valkyrie with its Cosworth-sourced 6.5L 11.1k-redline hybrid seems like the only comparable experience stateside.
