In this episode of Doug DeMuro, we dive headfirst into the world of high-performance electric sedans with the unveiling of the Mercedes AMG GTX. This beast boasts a jaw-dropping 1340 horsepower, making it a force to be reckoned with on the roads. However, its unconventional design, likened to a bottom-dwelling fish by some, raises eyebrows among enthusiasts. Despite its polarizing looks, the GTX features cutting-edge battery technology and an 800volt electrical architecture, promising rapid charging capabilities that push the boundaries of electric vehicle innovation.

Shifting gears, the team sets their sights on the rumored Lexus LFR, a camouflaged mystery spotted in Big Bear Lake. Speculations run wild about this potential successor to the iconic LFA, with promises of a twin-turbo V8 engine and a manual transmission igniting excitement among petrolheads. Mazda also enters the conversation with talks of resurrecting a rotary-powered sports car, sparking skepticism due to past unfulfilled promises in the automotive world.

Hertz makes a surprising appearance in the news with their innovative car scanning technology aimed at streamlining the rental car return process. This development aims to provide customers with a transparent assessment of vehicle damages, potentially revolutionizing the way rental car companies handle post-rental inspections. As the automotive landscape continues to evolve with advancements in electric powertrains and nostalgic comebacks, enthusiasts are left pondering the future of performance cars and the driving experience in a rapidly changing industry.
