yep until they brake very soon unfortunately. Also i thought we were over the "hand build" lie. Mercedes in its entire history did not employ enough workers to make that many v8 by hand. They literally made hundreds of thousand of those. Its just a gimmick.
What really sells me on this car is the space (especially trunk) and comfort that really makes it the perfect Grand Tourer. It also has plenty of power that will have you faster than 98% of cars on the road
Yup, the people who aren't actually cross shopping this car just focus on it barely losing the 1/4 mile to its competition, because they aren't the ones actually taking long drives in the car
@@Sickwitit18 I would love to road trip it. It’s got plenty, a 0-60 in 2.9 seconds plus the tech gizmos I love. People are so deluded nowadays, it may be .4 seconds or less slower on a quarter mile to a Porsche or something but is that really worth 20k-40k difference in price?
this car is more expensive than an m8 competition, less luxurious/comfortable and spacious than the m8 competition and is SLOWER and less sporty than the m8 competition. the last amg gt was at least unique with its front mid-engine, rwd layout, it was a truly dedicated sports car, but this new amg gt is really just a worse m8 competition.
@@smar1208 this is more luxurious, probably not as stiff of a suspension as an M8, and sounds better and subjectively looks better. I've already seen 3 on the roads so far here in Denver so clearly there's a reason people are picking them over the M8
I wish Mercedes kept the long bonnet, cabin all the way in the back 2 seater look or at least brought back the SLS. This is definitely a more usable car but doesn't really speak to the previous GT or the SLS.
I'm excited to feel how it drives on the track, the length of the GT-S always made it feel a bit awkward compared to the Porsche's. That being said I really do prefer the look of the GT-S/GTC/GTR, absolute gorgeous body.
I was looking for your comment. I think they completely messed it up by shortening the beautiful long bonnet for 2 extra seats. Now it just looks like any sportscar
We need a head to head comparison video between this and the 911 gts. Gts I suspect would be the faster car but speed is everything to everyone. So yeah my personal opinion it would be an excellent head to head. I love both cars tho. Excellent video as always guy. Keep up the good work! BIG UPS 😊
@@boxstar3d554 if they kept the same engine same performance specs but was about 300kg/630pounds lighter do you think it would keep up with the GTS? A lot of reviewers love the car but they say the Achilie heal of the car is it's weight
@@nqobilemahlaba2230 Yep. But they are (as intended) amazing Grand Tourers. A well-driven Porsche is going to lose me in the twisties, but I ain't racing my 400 ton S63. I am cruising (and sometimes have to let it rip). At low RPMs it is so torquey that it feels like driving an EV. An EV with an attitude. And a voice.
FYI, new AMGs sound higher pitched inside because they play simulated induction sounds through the speakers. They started doing this when the OPF filters started getting added to the 4.0 motors
@@JD4A84 There is probably still a fair amount of sound outside. I have an S63 Cabrio, which sounds amazing with the top up. But if you drop the top, you are treated to an open-air symphony.
Damn love the exhaust notes and the pops and bangs! Overall styling looks really good. The interior is sweet. This thing hauls ass. Nice work Mercedes!
After having a 992 911 and falling in love with that driving experience vs the mclarens, ferraris, lambos etc I've driven, it would be hard for me not to take a 911. This almost-objectively looks and sounds better, but i thonk I've fallen too hard for the 992 at this point.
The company I drive prototypes for. We had to test and evaluate one of these. It did not stay very long because it was so hard to find anything wrong with just a V8 engine that was not a hybrid. The other Mercedes that are hybrid always tend to stay longer because we could find so much wrong with them.
so everyone's clear this new AMG is now just a Front Engine "GT" car whereas the old AMG was a legit Front-Mid Engine car, so a true configuration intended for Motorsports/Racing and to compete against their Stuttgart Cousins Porsche in the 911 (which it did for the last 8 years). for example, the new $300K Mustang GTD special that just raced LeMans finishing an impressive P3/P4 in the GT3 class on it's debut ALSO uses this same "divorced" Engine/Rear Transaxle configuration expressly for an "end game" of competing against the might of the Rear Engined 911. also ref: Corvette's C7, C6, etc.
Awesome vid - wow, that is an incredible car. And that light show thing, sure not every vehicle could pull that off but it's just the cherry on top of this bad boy. Also agree that spec with the silver over the orangey/red leather is awesome.
That air bladder thing looks like it'll be the first thing to break and be very expensive to fix. I like the look of the older one but I'd probably get an m8 or an LC500 over this
It looks good, but I think I like the old styling better. Wasn't as smooth, more to the front end than just a massive grill, cooler side vents, and the new 3 dot tail lights are a little weird up close.
That color interior looks really close to the seat color on the BMW R80 GS and R NineT Urban G/S. Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it looks incredible on the Benz 🥹
wow, Mercedes nailed it out of the ballpark with this one. Nice to see them get a W after the Ls they've been racking with the EQ lineup, the new C63 AMG, etc.
The lexus is 350 f sport weighs 2,186kgs and this amg weighs 1920kgs. So i don't get why people are making a fuss about its weight. Please explain to me? Sorry i'm a newbie who's only used to daily driving cars.
it's different, LC500 is a grand tour car that you can drive across the country very comfortably, while GT63, 911 are sports/super car that you can take it to track.
GT-S Black Series is my go to! They are mean, mean, mean looking! So sharp and aggressive, looks like that will instill confidence up the wazoo on a track.
Just to clarify - the “Raise Level” button DOES operate a hydraulic lift that raises the front nose by 1.2 inches if the car is equipped with it. It isn’t just the air bladder going up, it’s both, if the car is equipped with it. (I sell them!) Great review guys!
8:35 you photoshoped the wrong side wheel on the back. The front wheel is a right side but the rear wheel is the left side. Look at the curvature of the spokes. But those wheels do look so much better on that car.
I like the looks of this car and the fact its a v8. My big question is that it being an amg, is it overtorqued to drift. Will it back out when you hit the throttle like on a sls or a w204 amg
gorgeous car, and the visibility puts it over the top for me personally (having witnessed a tragedy caused by very low visibility when i was young). Also you can probably get one if you can afford it so in that sense it's for sure better than a 911😄
Finally 911 that looks and sounds good :) Joke aside The way it looks is great. It reminds me of a mixture of the best of Vantage + 911 with AMG voice over.. This car will become a classic once it gets all button dashboard and Steering wheel. I wonder if AMG will make a Halo manual version
Good easter egg with the guy waving over your head
Wooh😮
1:55 . 🙋♂️
Real I love that
Same same, same same but different
K 12:02 5h hang
The "OOMPH" sound on every shift is such a satisfying thing to hear from these Mercs.
The shifts on a turbo AMG V8 never disapoint.
yep until they brake very soon unfortunately. Also i thought we were over the "hand build" lie. Mercedes in its entire history did not employ enough workers to make that many v8 by hand. They literally made hundreds of thousand of those. Its just a gimmick.
@hagestad bro, the badge has the technician who assembled the engines full name😭
@@bendingwarrior1 Yes and the math has been done. Its pretty much impossible for those people to do those numbers of engines by hand.
@@hagestadthey are literally all ASSEMBLED by hand lol. it has never been “proven false”.

V8, turbo, AWD, what is there not to like? I like me a Porsche, but the V8 sound would make me sign on the dotted line. Good review! ;)
I've always thought that V8s sounded kind of "farty" lol. But to each their own.
1:54 what the hell was on the sun roof lol?
Lmao I didn’t catch that at first 😂
Yoooo wtf 😂
Good spotting
Right, looked like Tom Brady with sunglasses or something.
it's James Franco, and this part is from the movie "The interview" I believe and is related to what Yuri is saying
you guys are the best most well rounded car reiviewers on then known internet
The Easter egg was totally genius!!!!!!
I think the prior gen gt was one of Mercedes most beautiful cars
Damn love the exhaust notes and the pops and bangs! Overall styling looks really good. The interior is sweet. This thing hauls ass. Nice work Mercedes!
Wait... The jag e type was ugly?!? That interior is red pepper... Was on the C amg(205).. Is kinda orange
SAME SAME BUT DIIIIIIIIIIIFERENT

The stock wheels look better than any of your other ideas. Beautiful car
Haven’t seen them this excited and genuinely in love with a car in a while - good job Mercedes!
Coming from a GTS owner, this is right in the ballpark price range. Would be super curious to get a ride in one of these to feel the differences.
Thankfully someone who ACTUALLY owns one instead of talking they would/ would have
This new one is a full thousand pounds heavier. Screw that.
I like the older amg gts better. 911 owner.
I realize I should have clarified. I have a Porsche 992.1 GTS haha my bad
@@xtnuser5338a thousand pounds heavier but still better handling

God mercedes V8s sound so good. Albeit the naturally aspirated ones of the prior gens sound god tier but I would love to experience one of these.
The previous gen was shaped way more exotic. This just has a standard sports coupe profile.

4:52 when you really gotta go but you’re not close to the bucket 😢
THIS IS THE REVIEW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
You're missing Pro and GT3. Also in the new model there is a 63 SE
Merc got that thing RIGHT. It will age beautifully like a BMW Z8. Can’t wait to see the E-Performance trim tested.
Who's waving reflection in the sunroof are we watching at 1:57
13:05 That photo is legit from my local Cars and Coffee!
The amg GT black series is still my favorite
+1 for Yuri with the Van Halen Hot for Teacher reference
yeah, haha, perfect.
Can we agree these new cars are touting higher base HP than prev top trims is just to distract you from the huge curb weight increases.
Nice video! The smile on your faces while accelerating make it worth buying this car 😂
It looks good, but I think I like the old styling better. Wasn't as smooth, more to the front end than just a massive grill, cooler side vents, and the new 3 dot tail lights are a little weird up close.
I'm not sure I'd take this over a 911. 911's are just so good at everything!
This car is absolutely gorgeous.
This is probably my favorite new car in this class.
That color interior looks really close to the seat color on the BMW R80 GS and R NineT Urban G/S. Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought it looks incredible on the Benz 🥹
Exploring the ultimate blend of power and sophistication
wow, Mercedes nailed it out of the ballpark with this one. Nice to see them get a W after the Ls they've been racking with the EQ lineup, the new C63 AMG, etc.
The lexus is 350 f sport weighs 2,186kgs and this amg weighs 1920kgs. So i don't get why people are making a fuss about its weight. Please explain to me? Sorry i'm a newbie who's only used to daily driving cars.
Can't believe how well this thing launches of the line! Merc should have putted the 635HP TT V8, slash 200KG and boom perfect.
What's that weird reflection at 1:55? 😅😅😅
the meme he was referencing. its from The Interview with James Franco
@@kj64gaming19 😆😆😆
So no turbo lag? The same engine in the DBX has bad lag.
The exhaust sound after the launch sounds so similar to my old Audi RS7 lol (and I love it).
To answer your question. Probably not...but on looks alone, it's a winner.
As always an awesome review, love the car, I hope you do a review on the 55
The LC500 is still my favourite expensive car in this segment!
It's nowhere near the same price range
Lc500 is much cheaper and sounds better
The white lc500 with black windows looks so mean
it's different, LC500 is a grand tour car that you can drive across the country very comfortably, while GT63, 911 are sports/super car that you can take it to track.
@@bokebryant3985 nah this is a GT. More track oriented, while the Lexus is far more comfy
There's also a GT 63 SE Performance (PHEV) with a little more power and a 0-60 of 2.8s not sure of the horse power but its on sale in Europe
1:56 who is that on the Panoramic roof? Is it just me or do we all see it?
The reason why the older amg gt IS THE GOD DAMN HOOD
1:55 what's with the sunroof?
James Franco popped in to say "Howdy."
get the +2 seat one, fold them and voila now you have %30 more sound inside !
Thats a nice launch
THE SCARLET SEATS LOOK CRAZY🤩🤩
Depends on if I can get a 911 gt3 at MSRP, if not then I’ll get this baby!
Same! But good luck with that haha
I agree the wheels should look like the vents. Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥶
I like the older style but appreciate the hatchback for sure. AWD. Nice
That's one mean clean looking machine! Dig the light show!
At 1:56 what is is that on the sunroof?
Its a meme by dave franco...same same but different 😂
GT-S Black Series is my go to! They are mean, mean, mean looking! So sharp and aggressive, looks like that will instill confidence up the wazoo on a track.

So why didn’t our car lift? Is it a separate option but with the same button?
@@TheStraightPipesdifferent option
8:35 you photoshoped the wrong side wheel on the back. The front wheel is a right side but the rear wheel is the left side. Look at the curvature of the spokes.
But those wheels do look so much better on that car.
Interior color is very similar to the Sahkir Orange full leather interior w/ CF trim in my F80🔥
I think the turbine wheels from the 2009 Mercedes McLaren SLR would look good on the AMG GT 63.
Colour may tricky the eye on looks but yes its a good balance like Astons DB12 can be.-amg gt 63 black series will be fun to see- blood orange red?
I like the looks of this car and the fact its a v8. My big question is that it being an amg, is it overtorqued to drift. Will it back out when you hit the throttle like on a sls or a w204 amg
At this price point, the new 992.2 GTS is hard to pass up. Wouldn't compare this to the Turbo S at all.
This is straight pipe worthy
I was hoping for Part 2 of INEOS Grenadier 4X4. (And kidding)
Wait... did you line up the crackles and pops with the intro music ?! 😂
Idk if this a weird opinion but the gt 4 door is my absolute favourite amg, it’s just such a menace and such good proportions like an e class gt
A very beautiful car I saw this morning.
Did I just hear Jakub say this car weighs 4700 lbs? Did they make this non hybrid non EV car with granite?
They just want to make the switch to electrification less jarring. This one will only gain a half ton going EV. So it's half way there already.
1:57 why there’s guy on the sunroof?
Very nice, first time i like the design, but is it as good as new Vantage???
Very rarely will someone say something bad about a Mercedes
My new dream car
Whose reflection’s in the sunroof at 1:56?
Love the looks of the AMG GT 63 but the price is eye watering?
The way a true V8 should be. Power and awesome handling. And, it looks great aw well.
gorgeous car, and the visibility puts it over the top for me personally (having witnessed a tragedy caused by very low visibility when i was young). Also you can probably get one if you can afford it so in that sense it's for sure better than a 911😄
Yuri looks like he’s pooping his pants going through the corners lol
Depends on how look at it.

You guys chose breathtaking seats.
Gotta love the subtle Franco 😅
I like it a lot, but the crackles remind me of the "Duga Woodpecker" frequency thing.
1:55 special guest appearance james franco!
We have one of these in our dealership. Definitely the attention magnet!
Whoever recorded the first 0-60 there were watching the car and not the camera😂
Would be great if you guys did a video as to what your favourite cars are ....E63s AMG Wagon ?
5:45 does yuri with his mouth partly open not look like a full Simpsons character?
He looks like Dr Nick Riviera 😂
It's beautiful to look at and sounds amazing. Great job AMG! Sadly I'll never experience the drive tho 😢
Placed my order a few months ago. Can’t wait.
