Mercedes-AMG plans tiered inline-six and V8 sounds for EVs

According to CarBuzz, Mercedes-AMG plans simulated engine sounds and gearshift feedback for its upcoming GT SUV and GT four-door coupe. The GT 53 would reproduce inline-six sounds, while the GT 55 and GT 63 would use V8 sounds. Mercedes says the split preserves the series’ established identities, but the tiered sound allocation has drawn criticism.
