Mercedes-AMG GT

Model reviewed: GT55
Score: 7 / 10
“In the wider Mercedes-AMG GT range, we think this is the model that makes the most sense. It’s got more than enough performance, benefits from the fantastic soundtrack of that V8 engine, yet doesn’t have the complexity or weight of the hybrid set-ups in the more expensive models above. Despite this, we think this new, more rounded Mercedes-AMG GT has lost the character of its predecessor, and still can’t match the driver appeal of the Porsche 911.”

Score: 7 / 10
“Mercedes-AMG has rarely held back in the pursuit of power, and in its hybrid age none are more potent than the AMG GT 63 S E Performance. This is a wickedly fast car, and knocks on the door of hypercar-levels of straight-line speed. But the means by which the flagship GT’s performance has been achieved results in a finished product that’s hard to engage with, even if it is still mightily impressive.”

“It carries the same name as its predecessor, but you have to judge the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 on very different criteria. Its move towards a more refined, grown-up attitude has plenty of practical benefits, yet its tech-laden chassis still offers stunning performance and grip while adding continent-crossing comfort.”

Score: 6 / 10
“While the GT63 S E Performance four-door is undoubtedly a 21st century performance car, it feels very much an old-school AMG in many respects. In other words, it’s like holding onto an exceptionally large engine that just so happens to have a car attached. Unfortunately, its unpleasant brakes probably generate even higher heartrates, and quite simply the regular GT63 handles with more aplomb for far less cash.”

“Mercedes-AMG has put our worries to rest: its latest AMG GT is a good car and thus a big relief. The new AMG GT oozes confidence from every aluminium and carbon fibre pore because its reassuringly wide comfort zone is not tailored for Russell and Antonelli but rather the every day driver, like us, instead.”

Model reviewed: 4.0-litre petrol/electric plug-in hybrid GT 63 SE Performance
Score: 6 / 10
“The SE Performance certainly has some very big numbers going for it, but it’s a bit of a one trick pony. It’s certainly effective on the autobahn, both at generating very big numbers very quickly, and at persuading slower traffic out of the overtaking lane, but there’s little joy to be had at slower speeds. If you must have an AMG GT, get the regular 63.”

“Mercedes-AMG has toughened up the GT63 coupe for track work. It’s expensive but crushingly effective.”

“At monster speeds it feels rock solid, relaxed almost, and the sight of its aggressive front end in the mirror clears the outside lane effectively too. This feels very much like the natural habitat of the AMG’s hybrid GT.”

“The new Mercedes-AMG GT is a slightly softer, more practical proposition – one with the Porsche 911 Turbo squarely in its sights. While not as instantly exciting as the outgoing GT, it is a better car overall. The 911 still wins our vote, but the V8-engined AMG is arguably more characterful.”

“The standard GT 63 apes the Porsche 911’s practicality and refinement, but the GT 63 Pro brings back a dose of aggression. It’s sharper and more precise than the standard V8 – never mind the power bump – and certainly fun when pushed on track.”

“AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer.”
