Thanks again to Keeps for sponsoring this video. Be sure to go to keeps.com/redline to get up to 50% off your first order. Affordable is a relative term when talking about anything with an AMG badge, the GT 43 is the least expensive way to get into this model but we couldn’t help but feel for an extra $10k, you may as well make the jump to the GT 53 which has another 67 HP. Those of you who have even more money to spend, could now select the AMG GT 63 E Performance which is a PHEV which has 831 HP or more than twice the power of this car 🤯
