That Panamericana grill is really growing on me. It looks so aggressive and it gives the car more presence.
Daniel Sadjadian in person it really grabs your attention!
Autogefuhl provides best car reviews on a youtube, especially with Thomas. Keep it up !
great to have ur support!
i conquer
Hell yea, Thomas is the best.
Full Hd....Full Screen...Full Lenght... and Full Rain!!!!!!
+Miguel Fernandez 😂
Great! I like the moment when the helmet magically appears on Thomas' head;)
+MH Radio Control 😂🏁
Autogefühl 6:00 Hate to disappoint you but that is not "Leatherette". It's genuine nappa leather! There is no option for fake leather on ANY of the GT models. Someone at Mercedes lied to you :D
It is exactly as I said. At least in Germany. See the price list here:
www.mercedes-benz.de/content/media_library/germany/mpc_germany/de/mercedes-benz_deutschland/pkw_emb_nextgen/neufahrzeuge/mercedes-amg_gt/preislisten_pdf/pkw_amg-gt_preisliste.object-Single-MEDIA.download.tmp/Preisliste_AMG_GT_Roadster_Coupe_170808.pdf
And search for "Artico" and "Dinamica"
Autogefühl Ok, This option is not available in the UK. I know the model well because I have one and spent a lot of time looking at options when I ordered. No Artico available on any GT model in the UK. This must be a special option for Germany?
The perfect GT sports car! I hope they update the GTR with the 612hp V8 engine though. Perhaps they'll do that on the black series?
Love your video！i really hope you can review the new glc 63s！
Would you rather have the GTS or an F-Type SVR?
+Daniel Sadjadian i have yet to test the basic seats :)
You should do a in depth review of the all new Lexus LC500 V8
V8 power! ::)
I'm surprised mercedes haven't made a v12 version yet. It would fit that car so well
Prodigy Sebazzee001 true
Only carguy in the world saying "the power is enough"😂😂
11:50 I would wear the helmet not store it in the trunk
I hate how GTS loses to sedan m5 f series.. embarrassing.
R8 V10 Plus > Amg gtr
BEAST Falsehoods.
Hi Thomas. You always give an accurate honest review on your cars thank you..
Keep up the excellent work.
I use to love the panamericana grille, but I actually think the simple original grille is aging better now that the panamericana one is overdone
Just finished watching the review, Thomas you are the best!
+Daniel Sadjadian 👍👍👍
I love the pre face lift gts. So much more elegant like Benz should be.
Does the 4 wheel steering make it hard to drive?
I had a 4 wheel steering car and the steering wheel was extremely sensitive
Hi Thomas, you were instrumental in my purchase of a 2019 C63S coupe, now I find myself watching this video.....🤔😏😎 - you give the best reviews on UA-cam imho, thanks👍🏼
good god.... tellow and green.... it's like having a diamond and use paint to change the color of it..... sadly it's quit ugly
Hi Thomas, I think Mercedes-AMG should have simplified the different variants. The GT should be the base model, GT S is the GT with more horsepower. Both should only be the coupe. The GT R is the top spec for coupes but NO convertible. The GT C should be the only Roadster. The GT R Roadster makes no sense. The big rear wing only makes sense for a coupe. The GT C coupe makes no sense, the customer should just get the GT R coupe.
yeah agree, too complicated
Autogefühl Thanks for doing such a thorough job reviewing the GTs and for suffering in the rain for our viewing pleasure. 😂🤣 I have a 2019 GT C in Magno Grey (totally awesome) and think it’s the best combination of many of the GT R specs with the beauty of an open top. All the ladies love it. Can’t argue with women! 😎
hehe you re welcome
Nothing can beat Mercedes. It's going to be on the top always. 😁 Thanks for the great presentation Thomas👍
thanks for tuning in!
Porsche says HI.
bmw guys just downloaded a new app lol
Thomas, you're hilarious! German style jokes make me laugh! :D
😂
Hey, should I get a Brabus GTS for 1.3 million (on my currency, 5.00 a dollar) or a brand new MB AMG GTR for 2.0 million?
You really are the just the King of reviews - epic stuff. I am in UK and love German engineering - and have had many Mercedes and the odd Porsche or 4 - and maybe thinking of swapping Porsche 991 T for the GTS - not the R - its why I am here and I was not disappointed.
Awesome thanks 😊
Hello mate why would you not go for the R over S. I am thinking the other way around got me and going with R next year. Could you share your thoughts why you liking GTS Over GTR . Cheers
So a 911 would be more comfortable for everyday driving than this?
Suspension speaking or what?
Schade das ihr nur wegen den Klicks alles auf englisch macht 🤷🏼♂️
Wir machen das weil wir Leute die kein Deutsch sprechen nicht ausschließen können. Als zusätzlichen service für den Heimatmarkt haben wir www.autogefuehl.de - übrigens ein defizitäres Angebot. Also mal überlegen und höflicher sein bevor man Anschuldigungen raushaut...
I would definitely go for either the AMG GT-C coupe or GT-S, in Thomas Blue. I think that's the best colour for these beautiful vehicles .
Alcantara does not wear - it’s easy to brush it back to like new condition. Use an Alcantara cleaner and a brush.
Yes 👌
@@autogefuehl Thanks. Have you noticed a difference in exhaust note for 2020, vs. 2019? Perhaps the particulate filters have been added?
The GTD in Thomas blue for me too
You should consider turning up the brightness in editing (a little bit) to compensate on dim/rainy shoots. Otherwise good video.
Are you Cpt. Joe?, I mean really...
Fantastic job . Explaining the cars. It helped me a lot .
Thank you very much
I like how they arranged the knobs in the middle Console, it looks like a v8 engine :)
Hello Thomas, I do love your reviews which I consider the very best, second to none. Congratulations even for the subtle background music so unlike the normal (so to speak) hard rock noise the majority of reporters use. I think that nobody watches car reviews to listen to loud music.
Having said that I cannot understand your obsession against leather interiors. I’m sure you know that no animal is “slaughtered” (your words!) for the skin but for the meat. The skin is just a sub product which either is used or trashed. If people will stop buying cars with leather interiors but keep on eating meat there will be no change. As I don’t believe we tend to become all vegetarians…
These are my two cents but, above all, THANK YOU for your good work. WTG!
Thanks Joao for your feedback and glad u like our channel! Please consider the extensive resources we have gathered on the leather topic to shed some more light on this issue!
At Autogefühl, we have already received several thousands (!) comments, messages and mails that more and more people want to combine enjoying their car with reducing the environmental impact at the same time. We believe that sustainable luxury is possible or at least we should do everything to support that. Those many thousand people confirming this trend, motivate us to give you the most authentic information and background on the product parts. It is not about what you bought in the past, and it is not about blaming anyone, it is about what you decide in the future and what you can decide and influence as a customer. So we want you to have all information that you need for a decision you later enjoy and like best yourself.
In Summer 2017, Tesla motors has decided to be the first manufacturer to go all the way with sustainable seat materials, only offering fabric/cloth seats or leatherette seats in different colours. They have banned all real leather from the seating surface and at the steering wheel in the white trim or on demand. So Tesla shows where the industry will and must be heading, just like they went forward with electrification first.
Check out our special video addressing car CEOs as a first summary and also see conditions of animal skin production:ua-cam.com/video/LNSUzZXzpdc/v-deo.html
List of practical reasons against animal skin seats:
1. animal skin seats are often sold as an expensive option, by going for base trim level seats you can save a lot of money and get a better price-performance-deal (often the manufacturers claim that animal leather is top of luxury because they can earn the best money with it)2. animal skin seats get hot in summer and you stick to the seat, probably you need seat cooling3. they get very cold in winter and you need seat heating4. on cloth or microfibre surfaces, you basically don’t need seat heating nor cooling5. animal skin seats wear out very fast and look like an old sofa6. if you want leather look or need seats that can be wiped clean easier, the leatherette (faux leather) surfaces are meanwhile highly evolved and it is possible that it feels even softer and better than anything else (See our Tesla Model X review ua-cam.com/video/y2wNGFKa4M0/v-deo.html) So Tesla shows a good example for that and as described, non-leather materials are now standard for ALL Tesla7. More manufacturer names for their good alternatives: Mercedes MBTex/Artico for leatherette, Dinamica for microfibre. BMW Sensatec, Toyota Sof-Tex, Lexus Nu-Luxe (all faux leather)
To the environmental reasons:
1. The way the cows and other intelligent and social animals are raised and held are not according to the basic values that we all share (also see videos below)2. The factory farming industry can be accounted for at least 40 % of climate emissions and thus is (according to numerous sources you can look up) the number one reason for climate change and environmental destruction. It is the number one reason for deforestation, two thirds of all agricultural land on earth is used for growing animal food crops. If you would feed humans directly by using the agricultural land, you could produce much more food for everyone. See this interesting essay for more on climate emissions background: www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf 3. It is not only cows who are suffering, but also the environment and to a big part also humans. Think of slavery-like working conditions in slaughterhouses (there are plenty of documentaries about this) or think of chemically altered drinking water in animal skin production villages as also seen in the video footage.4. The discussion, for which body part the cow is killed first, is very patronizing. But if you really think it would be important why someone gets killed in first place: There are many productions where the cow is killed for the skin first, sometimes even while still being (part-)alive, the skin is the most profitable single part of the body.5. So even if a cow gets theoretically killed for meat first, in every case you give additional money to an industry that relies on killing, pollutes the environment and harms people with chemicals. Let's say you are standing at the meat counter. And you ask for the leg of the cow. The butcher tells you: "You can eat that without worrying, the cow was slaughtered for the neck first". The next customer demands the neck. The butcher tells him: "It's not your fault, the cow was slaughtered for the belly". A the next customer demands the hide, what answer does he get? You see, that argument of "byproduct" comes from the meat and leather industry to cover up that you contribute to killing no matter which part of the body you buy. 6. To the often said argument, animal skin would just be a byproduct, please google/youtube "leather is not a byproduct" you will find plenty of information. A good overview on all those issues can also be found here: adaptt.org/
To “But leatherette is not sustainable due to petrochemical production”1. Indeed some fabrics and micro fibres are oil based, however most oil is spent on energy production, heating and fuel. The share of oil used for artificial cloth etc. is very very small.2. If you look at the whole production process, the leatherette is way more sustainable than the leather produce.3. The best to-come solution are indeed plant-based materials like Pinatex (based on pineapple leaves) or new materials based on mycelia (roots of mushrooms) or other innovative natural products. That’s the future.
More special video episodes:
1. A initial special video from Autogefühl considering the use of leather can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/8f91KgbVbJQ2/v-deo.html. And another one right here: ua-cam.com/video/tMNgcLE0LDU3/v-deo.html. Furthermore, you’ll find the footage of leather production also here, where people are walking in chemicals etc. and animals have to watch their friends being slaughtered in front of their eyes: ua-cam.com/video/JipYvuDsI6s/v-deo.html timecode starting 27:464. This is another video which very well summarizes the torture of leather production, shots taken at big farms which directly produce for the automotive industry: ua-cam.com/video/OgHs239bAnE5/v-deo.html. Please note that those videos are made by well-known journalists and cameramen who were not influenced by any animal welfare organisation, they supply their footage to the animal rights groups of course. I partly know the creators of the video footage personally and they are all authentic. You don’t have to search long to find cruel production environments anyway.
Manufacturers reactions:
We started the very first inquiry years ago, with the result that car manufacturers do not reveal their sources of animal skin AT ALL. If it all would be clean and happening without harm, why don’t they show it to us whereas they are showing us every other detail of their products? They have good reason not to, because there is no such thing as a clean animal skin production without harming cows, humans and the environment. The only thing a manufacturer can do is increase their effort for a better future, and we are helping with in-depth talks and interviews by presenting the increasing customer demand for sustainable luxury. Tesla was the first one to react in a major way now.
So meanwhile, we more often also get feedback that a lot of manufacturers are working on leather-free interiors and are aware of the situation. E.g. Bentley, Mini and Kia have started vegan car interior programmes. Besides Tesla, Mercedes already shows major choices for sustainable interiors, you always have to pay attention to the details when ordering, of course - and we are happy to give advice. However, much has to be done still and the Autogefuehl community is massively helping in boosting the positive change!
Help to raise awareness on this subject. Thanks!
Being virtually dustless is not the only advantage of carbon ceramic breaks. They also last much much longer. The initial cost of purchase is higher but unless you drive the car hard on the race track they will easily last 150K km or so.
The problem is that they are squeaky 😓
Excellent review...I would go for the "evil" color way for sure :)
Hello Thomas, you are the best. Not only for the reviews but for the animal protection as well.
Its not a standard question, do you know there is an option of isofix on passanger seat?:-)
Thank you.
Thanks!! Hmm sorry thought again, i think not
Great review. Good to see a v8 in the wet.
+Devan Naidoo 🏁🏁
What a fun day on the job for Thomas. So, if the seats were more comfortable, would your personal choice between this and a 911, be more of a toss-up?
good question, unfortunately, I never had the base seats yet so I could test the comfort there
What is the blue jacket Thomas is wearing?
this is the car that i asked for earlier this year
huuuuuuuuuuuge thanks to you thomas and all the crew members thanks to you all
GREAT WORK :)
+anis miraoui 👍👍
great review Thomas seems rain didn't stop you from making this also both cars look awesome even in bad weather
all 4 u ! :)
Thomas please do some technology related videos such as autopilot, start stop, hill assist, ADAS etc
+Ajinkya Jagtap will have specials on the IAA motor show!
Thomas, the type of person to occupy the left lane of the autobahn to show people the gts exhaust crackles....
pwned
awesome review! your clothing choices improved as well! Looking fresh man :D
+pocketmoneyrecords appreciated!!
They are so beautiful. Well done Mercedes!
Great video, enjoyed it much. Danke sehr!
thanks, spread the word for us!
@Autogefühl will you all be at IAA Frankfurt motor show to review the new models and facelift models from Mercedes and other brands?
+Ultimusss LoL yes!!
Can't wait to watch!
Real bad ass look. And the sound .....uuuhhhhhh. Ty for great video. :)
+Green Lightning 👍👍
I really need to win the lotto...
Thomas seems a humble good guy. Keep up with the good work!
+Stefanno Dias thanks pal!
The GT S and GT R both have rear axle steering? Or is it only available with the GT R model? Please reply!
all info in the review
i have seen the video mate,but don't know where you said the thing about the rear axle steering
The 2017 updated GTS does not have rear wheel steering unlike what was said in the video. That is avail on the GTC and the GTR
Thomas how long does the animal skin seats usually last?
well they soon show some folding like old leather sofas
Enjoyed that, Thomas. Great soundtrack!!!
+ian taf 👌
alter falter wenn ich das geld hätte..
Love da grill 😍😍😍
Supreme car
Great engine sound!
Is R8 a better daily driver?
None of them
its always nice to see how a car, that i will never own in my life, looks in the inside :) Great Review
+Cinderella99 👌
U SHOULD HAVE ONE UMBRELLA.......
Umbrellas create shadows so you cannot see the person that well, you can hear the raindrops and you cannot move that freely ... so I suffer for professional reasons
you are right...this experience must hard forget~~~good job! :)
Erst liken, dann schauen.
so muss das! =)
An Hybrid version would make this future proof.
First
Please do more reviews of Lexus cars
we have some, see here: ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=autogefuehl+lexus
Germans are scared of Lexus :^)
Very true Lexus has become so good in such a little amount of time that it will overtake Mercedes and BMW by 2025
Unlike other German auto journalists, Autogefühl has been pretty fair towards Lexus in their reviews, one has to admit.
They said that in 2001 and where is Lexus now? MB is still top of the luxury class with BMW and Audi close behind. Lexus is for housewifes and people with poor taste.
there is only one GTR and it def. is not a Mercedes!
The Nissan GTR was great when it first came out but today, its a shadow of it's former self. Compared to its rivals, its a dinosaur. Most sports cars will run rings around it on track and are more fun and engaging to drive on the road. You can still get a 911 with a manual which alone makes it more desirable than the Nissan. The AMG looks, sounds drives and performs better than the Nissan. It's also RWD which makes it more fun as well and you can me a proper hooligan in it. I know you'll say that the AMG is twice the price but thats because its twice the car!
Don't get me wrong, I like the Nissan GTR very much and when it first came out, it embarrassed every other car in its class. But those days are over. You need to understand that there's a new GT R in town and it comes from AMG.
W-James the gtr in green has no chance against the original gtr
in no way besides maybe on a race track with pro driver
On Motor Trend they tested the AMG GT R against the new Nismo and the AMG wiped it's ass with the Nismo.
W-James they are biased and based in california, their fuel quality there is terrible for the gtr. The amg has no power loss but the nismo has a lot.
there are other reviews of both cars vs each other and they everytime had to stage the test in favor of the amg, example they take a roll race etc
Saying that its biased shows your immaturity. California has a big supercar culture and you can get any fuel you want. And if the Nissan was better engineered, it wouldn't lose power no matter what fuel you use. And maybe if all the other tests show the Nissan losing then you need to accept the fact that the AMG is the batter car.
