Mat Watson from Carbuyer reviews the Mercedes-AMG GT – Video

“The new Mercedes-AMG GT is a mega sports car designed to rival the Porsche 991. It’s awesome to look at and fantastic to drive.”

Mercedes has built many different sports cars over the years, but few offer the blend of explosive performance and focus on the driving pleasure you get in the Mercedes-AMG GT.

While the Mercedes SL convertible is more of a luxury high-speed cruiser and the previous flagship and the Mercedes SLS AMG was part-muscle car and part-supercar, the Mercedes AMG GT is more of a well-rounded sports car.
