I have to be honest and say that I find this banging unbearable - compare it to a Ferrari V8: it sounds dark, brutal and full of energy.

I put this in the same class as an Aston Martin, I fault no one for buying these but for me the competition is just better so that’s what I would pick but I respect anyone for buying this it is gorgeous

@adambobs2740 Ай бұрын

they have a gt 63 e performance that has 800+ hp and 0-60 in 2.7 realistically prolly like 2.6/2.5 which is pagani/ferrari/svj numbers

@--Wingman-- Ай бұрын

The Aston Martin Vantage is actually a lot lighter, more a serious sport car, the DB12 would be more close to this car, because it has become more a GT than a serious sport car…

What competition is at this price besides the m8 ?

@@adambobs2740800+hp to go slower than a turbo S stock? Even if we're being conservative, they do 2.3 0-60, and 10.2 1/4, when they could realistically do a 2.1 and 9.9 1/4. I get the TTV8 hype, but it's sound is a bit inferior after all those emissions restrictions. So they both sound like lawnmowers, one is faster, and more prestigious, the other has a V8. that's basically the difference between them

Great review. I love everything about AMG GT but the interior. That's like future interior from the past. Looks very old to my old eyes. It doesn't need to have Tesla like interior, but look at how Porsche does the interior.

I REALLY hate the oh crap we forgot to make room for the infotainment screen.. It's too late now so just slap it on the dash look. While I can appreciate how the bottom at least flows into the console it still looks terrible. It almost looks like it blocks part of the AC vents. LOVE the rest of the car!!! I wish the 911 Turbo / S sounded as good as the GT.. That v8 GT sound.. GLORIOUS!!!

@polybiuschampion7225 20 күн бұрын

I have the SL and had concerns about how I’d feel about the screen, but after having the car for a while I really like it. All the functions of the screen can be accessed by the steering wheel controls or the MB assistant.

What’s the difference between GT55 and GT63, except the power?

@wkdsid Ай бұрын

Basically nothing. Same with SL 55 vs SL 63. Just tuning of the same v8 engine for 63. 55 makes way more sense for daily use and you get v8 sub 4 seconds

What's the biggest differences between the 55 and 63? I've heard many different things from it only being hp differences to the 63 having the amg active ride and 55 not having it along with a few others. I'm trying to gauge whether or not the 63 is worth the extra cash vs just getting the 55. Assuming I can spec it like the SL I can just tac on the front lift and a few other things I want and save a ton of money vs just getting the 63.

@polybiuschampion7225 20 күн бұрын

If you add the performance package to the 55 you have the same car except for the tune of the motor. And I’m pretty sure they sandbag the HP on the 55 by 25-30 or so. I’m doing 3.5-3.6 0-60’s versus the factory quoted 3.8/3.9. IMHO the sport seats are more comfortable than the luxury seats in the on reviewed here.
