this is what the DODGE VIPER would look IF it decided to get a masters degree, learned 3 more languages then wore a tuxedo...

Mercedes' paint colors are so gorgeous with that slight satin finish

I bought a 2019 AMG GTC🤤🤤🤤 it's my daily. I fall in love with her every time I see/drive her🥰!

Love the longer interior shots in the beginning with some info voiceover!

I’ve started liking these things more and more as time goes on. Cool car.

Auto brands rise and fall over time, but Mercedes is at one of those high points compared to their competitors. As much as I love the BMW of old, AMG is just on a whole different level in recent years.

So glad you finally reviewed the AMG GTC! I would take this over the 992 at the same price ANY DAY. The 2018 and 2019 model years are the ones to get - louder exhaust with more pops and bangs on Sport+ and no touchpad! And proper knobs in the console, which mimic a V8!

I've seen precisely one GT in the wild and it was probably the most visually stunning car I can remember. The proportions plus satin silver looks like some sort of alien object. Love at first sight

I believe randy pobst still recognizes the amg gtr as the best driving car hes ever been in, these are so underrated

Man I love the AMG GT series of cars. They look great and man they handle well for GT cars. The GTR, PRO, and Black Series are just track monsters.

Hi Matt, remember I bought 991 Carrera S after watching your review? Well, I switched to AMG GTS in 2017 and I never regretted. Look at yourself in that German hotrod. This is our car, bro!

One of my new favorite cars...stunning

A dream car for me, everything perfectly in its place. thanks for the review! A note: as a cyclist and a driver, I would have shit my pants on that pass. The distance needs to go up as the speed goes up. 3 ft @ 50+mph closing speed is still dangerous. I get you guys have to light the roads up for what you do, but after having friends killed by canyon runners and such, please be careful. ✌🏾

The best looking GT on the market

The 2018 or 2019 GTC is the one to get. No touchpad, louder exhaust with proper Sport+ backfires (that’s gone now), and the much nicer “v8” dials on the center console. Europe and Canada are 2 markets that don’t get the touchpad. I’m sure it’s easy to swap the touchpad for the rotary dial; but again I prefer the older setup which has both a touchpad and a rotary dial.

In 2016 I drove a 911 GTS, Cayman GTS, Corvette Z06 and an AMG GTS. While the Porsches are likely the more "approachable" cars in terms of extracting their full potential on the street, the AMG was the only car I couldn't stop thinking about after I drove it. The Corvette was a strong performer, in the way a madam can make squeal. However the AMG is the entire "bring home to mom" package. It has exotic "park it up front" looks, an interior that oozes opulence like the Ritz-Carlton, and the engine note is entertaining without being overtly obnoxious or understated. Outside of a very loose exterior comparison to the Viper, there's really nothing on the road like it. The AMG GT series cars a truly stunning in person; in every way.

just a stunning car! I especially like the side profile of it! it's almost e-type-esce^^

Thanks for this review; this is definitely my "accessible" dream-car, and it felt strange seeing no one review it.

AMG GT-s is the best car I ever owned. AmAzing performance and handling and can be used as a daily driver when needed.

This is the best version of the AMG GT by far. That body is magnificent.

Came back to this after watching the first few reviews of the new 2024 AMG GT… this thing really was a high point for modern day Mercedes and definitely would take one of these over a new one

This Magno blue colour is sooooo beautiful!

The Germans just know how to do it man

These have been a love of mine since they came out. The GTC is just about perfect -- has most of the go-fast bits without being obnoxious looking like the GTR. Definitely in the dream garage.

Already seeing an increase in subs since the second channel went live.

What an absolute beast.

Damn,those AMG motors sound sooooo good!!👌🏽

My dream car.. was the sls (and some amg gt variants) but this model hit me deep down.. for a "supercar" it's so discrete and yet powerful as well as elegant and beastly at the same time. For an everyday ride, this would be my number 1 pick.

This is an iconic design. A true classic. A menacing, beautiful beast with the best, deep growl. And my next car. Thank you for the great review!

Front/mid-engine, rear wheel drive will forever be my favorite layout in a car. Just above rear engine rwd.

That C8 in white with the white interior looks amazing!

Buy it in Canada. We get the scroll wheel, not the touch pad, it makes *all the difference*!

Was at a cars and coffee last week and this 75 year old dude had a stage two with returned turbos and ecu. He says it's well over 700hp at the crank and traction was hilarious! Love these cars!

This car has grown on me so much it has become my new dream car lol

Wonder what the 1 mil subs video will have... maybe a factory tour, a Pagani Review, Koenigsegg review???

Glad you are building a relationship with Mercedes reps. Also thanks for explaining the model variances... such a confusing naming convention.

It's not so much the placement of the engine but the gearbox that makes such a huge difference. with the gearbox behind the driver it not only moves the cog backwards but ALLOWS the engine to be lower down and further back. it's the same in Ferraris, Adtons, etc...

You cannot have too much tire. Keeps the enthusiats happy and the average guy alive.

I think it goes gt3 = gt r. Gt3rs = gt r pro. And gt black series = gt2rs

Favorite car in my favorite spec 🙌🏼 hope to upgrade the f-type in a few years to this

The video quality is excellent. The way this car sounds is sublime.

Love the spec. This is finally a true 911 competitor and can’t wait for the 730hp black series with the flat plane crank.

Drove one of these press cars - after driving a C8 the rear axle over bumps was extremely loud and harsh for something supposed to also be so luxurious... I mean drive around Detroit and you may feel the same way but I'm surprised this wasn't a big topic. Then again everything else is incredible.

When Mercedes says, "Hey, lets make a reverse porsche"

Great review. I liked the nomenclature comparison to the Porsche range, makes so much sense to explain to other people. This is for me the best sports car of the generation.

Man from 4:35 to 17:15 i was watching this high AF the best feeling ever.even the guy talking makes me feel like you have this talking machin friend and you are not hearing a word he's saying and you are just there enjoying the ride and the beautiful view. Best video ever

How am I just now discovering this top tier channel?! This guy knows the perfect balance of specs/driving experience/pros and cons and edits all the beautiful shots of fly bys and on board footage in a way that makes the video captivating from start to finish! Coming from a guy who loves Doug demuro, Chris Harris, the straight pipes and the three legends, Jeremy James and Richard! The smoking tire is severly underrated! I'll be putting the word out for ya! You deserve way more attention!

Satin blue with chrome accents, front engine, rear drive, and the sweet V8 rumble. Solid spec!

The GTC is closest to the 911 GT3 Touring, not the GTS, because the GTC has the same engine and transmission as the GTR. The 911 GTS has the same engine as the 911 S, it’s just a trim package, really. The GTC/R is significantly different from the GT/S.

I own a 2018 AMG GTC Cabriolet and its a wonderful vehicle. Interior tech on the 2020 model looks better than mine but I think that the 2018 model sounds better.

I love how often you mention Morgans on the podcast and videos

Besides an OG Gull wing car, this is the only Mercedes car I have lusted after. These things are definitely underappreciated.

Pretty insane how wide it is, my 2018 Honda Ridgeline pickup is 78.6 inches wide lol. A Tacoma with the wider flares is 75 inches wide. This car is wider than trucks lol.

The old Corvette was mid engine all the way back in the 50's , and the last few models were 50/50 on purpose . They put the transmission in the rear in order to reach 50/50 weight distribution .

it might just be me but when ever i hear transaxle i think corvette. corvette racing are the people who proved such a chasis concept could work on a world class beating level.

Stunning: yeah. Top engineering: yeah. Awesome: yeah. One thing that is totally overlooked with all modern cars: weight. Nothing beats light weight when it comes to driving experience.

I like how you reference your notes. Seems more legit, haha. Seriously though.

A dream car, and excellently presented. One of your best vids. Benz should be paying you for this one. The 911 is still better in terms of resale value. Benz depreciation is scary steep.

You should drive the C7 ZR1 on the road since you have only done a track one take!

These cars have such excellent street presence. Especially the cabrio versions. Like an SLR but without the awkwardness. Or an SLS without looking like you’re two cycles short in the CNC machine process.

You can literally control everything on the command screen from the thumb pad on the right side of the steering wheel which is fantastic.

The shape, the color, the wheels... So good looking.

Yes! This is the one car I've been waiting for you to review. I'm surprised you lasted this long lol I'd love to see a one take on any of the other variants as well, there's so much variety!

Mercedes is winning the sportscar battle from BMW and Audi with this car. Bravo!

I love my GTC, best car I have ever owned

One of the most gorgeous cars ever made...

You can use the Touchpads on your Steeringwheel for changing the Radiostation...

I love how it looks like you're about to take it bajaing when you do the walk around. Cracked me up!

Matt you forgot one more addition the "AMG GTR Pro Black Series". Not kidding.

I've driven a few GT/S and a GT/R around a fair bit and there's definitely a big difference there. Our traffic legislation and strict enforcement is so stifling here, with penalties like car crushing however that they're entirely pointless to bother registering. All you can do is roll around everywhere or take them to a track. And just when you thought that was a bit sad our track authorities are so stifling here all the circuits are designed to limit speeds under 140mph so a GT isn't any fun there either, you get more bang for buck driving retro racers with a lot of throttle at much lower speed capabilities. After I jumped out of the GT or any of the 63s I have to drive for work I love getting in my retro baby hammer replica because it's just so much more fun to drive around. When I had to take the GT/R across a few suburbs on the freeway the entire time I was thinking I preferred to be in my own car, it was only interesting for interest sake so I could give a conversational review of one but to actually drive for driving sake, no fun at all. Too illegal to fun with. Mine I fun at maximal levels all over the place and wind up everywhere with a big grin on my face and no infringements. Using that as a baseline I place maximum fun factor without legal worries at about 300hp as opposed to 500+, anything over 300hp and you're too busy being paranoid to have any fun because the traffic authority is so strict here with cameras and highway patrols everywhere. WRX, bags of fun. C63, don't touch the throttle. Sucks dicks I know but car crushing sucks bigger ones.

Gorgeous machine, new dream car! Hopefully they'll depreciate sufficiently and I can then afford one in ten years' time 😁

The bug about Porsche that stopped me from considering any of them is the placement of the cruise control. I demand the CC on the steering wheel, under my thumb. And I want it to work at very low speeds for school zones and suburban zones. This guy is the first I've heard mention the 0-10 mph time. That is important if you've ever made a mistake and want to get the heck out of an intersection NOW. Guys get wrapped up in top speeds (e.g. 300 kph) but very few can handle that. Only on some zones on the German autobahn, or on a track, can you do that without losing your license.

I love it. Will be looking at a 16/17 when my lease is up on the NSX.

This is just perfection.

What a beautiful car wow, thank you Mercedes

Matt pulling his best Saul Goodman impression in the outro.

Interesting Matt says its a "dense" car. Thats exactly how I've always percieved these, having never driven one.

Finally......starting to think he did not like Mercedes. I love this car. Had to get one.

Does anyone actually win these Omaze grand prizes?

I got a 2020 GTC for my first AMG.. amazing car

The color and that wide body is a beautiful look

oooh that exterior looks slick

I have driven the AMG GT R press car on the track in Monticello. What a beast but it is a really wide car. Reminded me of driving a Viper with that long hood. I look forward to your convertible review. BTW blue is the best color for that car

I'll wait 2 years and then pick one up after that 30% + depreciation sets in!

The blue is gorgeous on that car.

That crashing noise is always terrifying 😬

What a BEAUTIFUL car and that satin blue looks AMAZING! Thanks for the review. Very well done! BTW. I don't know why but this makes me miss the Viper even more.

Boy Mercedes sure has become proud of their Air vents. Front and center lol.

Last time I was this early Matt had hair

After this vid I went to autotrader to see how the early gt were selling. 16/17 are cheaper than I expected. Thought these would hold a better value than normal Benz but seeing many gt s with 15k hovering $68-75 would be very tempting. I know Matt said the early ones weren't quite as good and a lower-tier vs the gt c

Beautiful Colour and Tone

2:33 It is nice to see a Turkish signature on that awesome engine

Best car reviewer of them all. Excellent. Keep it up.

I love it. Not Benz guy but they got that right!! Needs exhaust for more beautiful music

These cars just kill me, in a good but torturous sort of way. Even the formula 1 safety car version tugs on my heart every time it goes out. I'll have one in silver and that's it for me, life complete.

This is one of my favorite cars on sale right now. Great review

The 2016, first gen of these cars also have the individual settings mode.

That soundtrack, beautiful.

I still like the styling of the GT S more, it's much more of a classic sports car look. No goping mouth or jutting chin spoiler and needlessly butch side skirts. Just a good design with nice clean lines, looks perfect and elegant.

Man, those roads are fantastic.
