\nMercedes-Benz<\/a> is diligently trying to attract new, younger customers to its AMG performance line, and one giant step forward might be the introduction of a new small coupe, set to rival small performers such as the Volkswagen Golf R<\/a>, BMW 1-Series<\/a>, and so on.<\/div>\n

\nA report from Autocar<\/em> states that this rumored new AMG coupe would be powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four with direct injection, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. This engine may produce as much as 300 horsepower, putting the AMG coupe right in line with the competitive set. Fuel-efficient technologies like brake energy regeneration, stop-start and a shift indicator lamp are likely to make their way into this new model, and all-wheel drive isn’t out of the question, either.<\/p>\n

Autocar<\/em> reports that the design of this entry-level AMG model will be previewed by the Mercedes-Benz F800 Style concept<\/a>, set to make its debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>. Consider our interest piqued.<\/p>\n
