    Daimler Stopping Internal Combustion Engine Development To Focus On Electric

    German automaker Daimler surprised everyone last week by confirming that they will be stopping its internal combustion engine development initiatives as part of its efforts to embrace electric vehicles.

    A report from Auto Motor und Sport states that Daimler development chief Markus Schaefer has confirmed that their primary focus will now be on electrification.

    Daimler’s current generation of internal combustion engines, including the new inline six-cylinder engine for the E-Class, S-Class, and its SUVs, will likely be the last gas and diesel engines that the automaker will produce.

    Fortunately, Daimler has an array of brilliant engines to work with for the foreseeable future. Its high-performance AMG division is certainly not lacking in this department either. But as we also just currently learned, the next AMG GT, due to arrive sometime in 2021, is slated to receive a hybrid powertrain.

    Is this the beginning of the end of the ICE for Daimler? Sure seems like it.

    • It is big, luxurious, comfortable and radically fast. It will devour long stretches of tarmac and not exhaust you but most importantly, the Continental GT Speed is a Bentley that is very much ready and willing to play when the mood hits you. It is quite possibly the ultimate modern GT.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!
