As the 2014 New York Auto Show->ke226 finally revealed all of its mysteries last week, you've probably noticed that the brand-new Mercedes-Benz AMG GT was not among them. Far from shocking we may add, as the NYIAS scenario wasn't very likely in the first place.

And that's because the Germans are still testing the sports car->ke506. In fact, they have recently switched from public road try-outs (check out our previous spy shots here and here) to more enduring race course tests. Where? At the Nurburgring->ke999 track, of course, the place where all sports cars go to prove themselves.

Having new footage with the AMG GT is great news, but the included video is exciting and somewhat disappointing at the same time. The good news is that we're finally getting a taste of that new 4.0-liter V-8 engine. As expected, it comes with a throaty exhaust note as a strong argument that downsizing isn't necessarily bad.

The bad news is that there's no skin for us to ogle at, with the coupe->ke141 still wrapped in its annoying camouflage. However, there is a tiny detail that shows up in the video: the engine's radiator is now covered by Mercedes->ke187' signature grille with the three-pointed star right in the middle. We know it's not much, but it's nice to see some progress.

As we've previously reported, there's no info as to when and where this sports car will be unveiled, but we have reasons to believe it will happen at the Paris Motor Show->ke227 this fall.
