Absurd and irrelevant

Reading about the Mercedes-amg GT 63 S E Performance 4-Door Coupé (First drives, 20 April) confirmed my opinion of the absurdity and irrelevance of such cars. Don’t get me wrong, I love performance, but where you can use it: on the track, where a track car will do everything better.

What impressed was the numbers relative to the capacity. If Mercedes could come up with a 1.3-litre triple with 270bhp and 300lb ft, I could think of a few applications for it. Alan Lee
