However the big question is the fun factor, handling and the lack of emotional connection you get from the powertrain. 4 cylinders sound terrible when pushed hard.
Having a hybrid in the family I wonder one thing. How many laps on track will the hybrid AMG be able to do with the electrical power? If its not like a 25 kWh battery at least (which I doubt), the battery will be empty in no time and the AMG is able to use only the 4-cylinder. Recuperation happens but I doubt it will happen fast enough at almost full throttle all the time. There is probably a "track-mode" for this, but it would be nice to know how they solve it.
