The Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS GT3 45th Anniversary Edition was an incredible machine when it rolled off the production line in 2012 as part of celebration of the first SL model.

There’s no question that Porsche makes some seriously awesome vehicles, but one thing they’ve never done is make a hot hatch. This concept rendering from X-Tomi Design makes us wonder why. Seriously. Taking inspiration from the design of the Porsche Macan, we can only imagine how much fun it would be to drive a car with the turning radius of a Fiat 500, but with the brilliant engineering minds from Porsche making its drivetrain and handling systems.
