Mercedes-Benz’s first Mythos model, the AMG PureSpeed, looks to be something truly special. The new sub-brand will be made up of ultra-exclusive vehicles that combine the best aspects of its powerful AMG and opulent Maybach models. The AMG Purespeed could go down as one of the more visually striking vehicles of the year thanks to its windscreen-less design, a Formula 1-style halo structure, and a racing-style livery. The interior, which it shares with AMG’s version of the SL roadster, includes two helmets with integrated comm systems that the driver and their passenger can use to communicate with each other at high speed. It may not be the most potent car on this list, but its 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 will still pump out 577 horses, which is strong enough to put it to a top speed just shy of 200 mph.
