@@underpaidasf like I said: Taste is subjective. You can have your opinion on that topic. I don’t think however that Tesla’s cars lack identity and personality. But if it is high tech you are after, yea Tesla is pretty fine.
This is exactly why I love this car. Its pure, its genuine in what it offers, and doesn’t fuck around with power. You put the foot down you get the power end of story. Getting this car is something of a dream of mine and goddammit even if im 80 and gas car are illegal then ill own a goddam amg gt s/r one day
Pictures and videos do this car no justice. Seeing it in person is really a must. It reminds me of the first R8; you have to see it in person to really appreciate it.
excited to see what you get as a replacement! I'm not sure if you knew, but the center console is actually designed to look like a v8! really cool feature and it shows the amazing attention to detail the Mercedes has.
Great review, Oliur. Just to be pedantic on one point: front mid-engined refers to the positioning of the engine behind the front axle, but ahead of the driver. This is done to improve the weight distribution and improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
No way this car stays at current depreciated values. It's simply too good of a car to be under 100k. I think we'll see some SLS appreciation on this thing now that they have stopped making them.
Jeez, i was scrolling through my subscriptions and found you, and instantly remembered the amg video, that was why i subscribed and wow, 2 years already, you improved a lot in video quality man
As a tech guy about to get a big raise my first new car has to be this AMG GT. 60-70k for this is ridiculous. I love it's uniqueness. Was thinking of a C8 but that's so such a common choice. Couldn't believe I forgot about this AMG GT choice. I love the F Type and the GT feels like it's cool older cousin 😂 can't wait to own this one day
I've just taken one out as I'm intending to buy one early 2022 and boy was I impressed. I've been a porker man for about 25 years or so and love their feel but I've really been taken by all the positive reviews, so I had to have a go. As it's reasonably heavy compared to many sports cars I was expecting a pretty heavy drive and as it's so big I thought the size was going to be an issue. I was totally wrong on both counts. It's as lively as you want and doesn't feel a bit heavy and it actually doesn't feel that big except when you're in town in traffic. The most immediate thing I found was how low you sit and how narrow the landscape view was out of the windscreen. It feels like you're in a formula racing car not a road car and takes some getting used to, even coming from a porker where everything feels a lot more open. The exhaust sound is simply phenomenal with the Akrapovic systems the only ones coming close. It's extremely addictive and I'm so looking forward to getting one.
My favourite part of this car is that it isn't as "in your face" as many other models in this price range are, while still turning heads and looking tremendous.
I appreciate your articulate commentary. I'm the brink of switching from an AMG SLK55 to the GTS but can't give up the convertible--the GTC is even wider! Please let us know what your next-car choice was.
I’m a current owner of this model and I love it to pieces. I’ve had it 12 months and loved every second. Trust me a A jag gets nowhere near the attention this monster gets! They are soo rarely seen that when they do show up they catch everybody’s attention… but in a positive way. People seem to think they aren’t t too showy which I believe is true but they have HUGE presence. A bullet proof engine, great build quality … Oh and there’s the noise 🤪😜😝🥰🤗 😮💨. Reasonable service charges not in highest tax bracket , ulez compliant, a grand a year fully comp for me (50+ )and I average 24mpg . 2024
There’s no discernible turbo lag - what you are referring to when you are cruising is the delay from the transmission shifting down, because you are in Comfort. Switch to Sport + and you will find no delay.
To clean the steering, use a microfiber cloth, only damp and rub it. Believe me. It will really make it like new. Have done it on a few dinamica/Alcantara steering wheels.
Nice video, well done,, better than some car videos. I am loving my CLS63 after 6 years of ownership, I can definitely agree with the love of the AMG line.
I do not actively watch your channel but was looking at a good in-depth video of an amg gts and since you owned it long enough, it gives a great perspective. Maybe the best perspective actually. Thank you.
Hey Oliur, Can you make a video on the finances behind these types of cars? Do they end up costing you a lot or could you use it for business? All those types of things would be helpful especially since running costs of something like a GT-S are sky high. Thank you my friend
i actually love your yhoutube channell ... you have this vibe of Dave2D and Marques Brownlee where you talk softly and use nice music and just focus on calm explanation without giving your own energy too much which is good or hyping up the person for no reason.
have my F360 spider Ferrari for almost 2 years now. No plans to replace it although this Benz GTS would be on the short list. And yep, I too own a Tesla fam car (Tesla X) for the daily commute/kids thingy. Really great combination!
Excellent video. You should try Sonax to clean the steering wheel. I had a full alcantara interior in my Cayman GTS and Sonax once a month would keep it nice and soft.
I wish you were a car reviewer you are better than most of them I am not too much into tech but good luck man I assume that your tech reviews must be awesome as that is your actual domain still subscribing you and waiting for more car updates good luck
A tech UA-camr with actual taste in cars. Refreshing.
homie ain’t a tech youtuber; he’s a lifestyle (career, life, style, tech, cars, etc) youtuber
@@sidaduri6489 yea if I look at his last 10-20 videos I have a different opinion about that. Whatever, you do you
@@masonldn8647 the Tesla he is driving tells a different story. No offense though taste is subjective after all.
@@hiiaminfi Tesla is an amazing car. I don’t think you know what ur talking about. Lol

Oliur: Loud exhaust sound coming
Me: increases volume*
sameee
Lol me too
such a stunning car, I’m excited to see what you pick up next!
Well hi there James
yooooo James nice to see you in the comments! You are amazing!
Annnnnd now he's picked up a 488 GTB!
Damn. This is some prime-time-top-gear-vibe-next-level kind of vibe. You NEED to do more of these!
You two are killing UA-cam atm. Awesome content as always. Man I want the Merc

Been a GT owner for 2 years as well. AMG GT has been the most reliable daily sports car I've ever driven/owned
Do they fit through a drive thru?
@@W0ULDY0ULIKEyes they fit just fine
Would this car fit a tall guy you think?
what other sport cars did you own and compare with, if you dont mind?
Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side? Jks a side, great review, you should consider bringing some more cars in 🙌🏽
The world is flipped on certain countries. That's why.
in commonwealth countries most of us drive on the right
@@hikmahuddinhasbullah3928 not Canada 🇨🇦
@@theo8445 sorry I forgot that Canada is still in commonwealth😂
Wtf
The car is beautiful obviously. But we gotta recognize that crisp footage too. 😩👌🏽
AMG GT is a beast! I got w124 coupe. A whole epoch between these two cars. But the spirit of both… Timeless.
nice. I have a 2005 Clk 200 convertible.
Pictures and videos do this car no justice. Seeing it in person is really a must. It reminds me of the first R8; you have to see it in person to really appreciate it.
Would be interesting to learn the finances of having the car for two years too.
Because of the global chip shortage, many high performance cars have gone UP in value than say 3-6 months ago.
@@RS-jb1lf so buying one now means you're "fucked" since the value is going to drop drastically once the shortage is over
Its called "CASH"
@@arjunarun9147 I'd say that's a fair assessment
No signs of chip shortage being over yet. Will be gradual when it does improve.
Great video. Really appreciate the calm demeanor and the crisp shots. That exhaust clip was very special!! Thanks for uploading.
Completely agree about the buttons, nothing beats the tactile feel of real buttons.
excited to see what you get as a replacement! I'm not sure if you knew, but the center console is actually designed to look like a v8! really cool feature and it shows the amazing attention to detail the Mercedes has.
Thanks for this great feedback ! 🙌🏼
Not really a car person and I don't drive, but what a genuinely stunning car.
Hey buddy, maybe you should try a logitech wheel + assetto corsa game. U'll probably buy a car the next day lol
Great review, Oliur. Just to be pedantic on one point: front mid-engined refers to the positioning of the engine behind the front axle, but ahead of the driver. This is done to improve the weight distribution and improve the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Porsche 911 with drop down top would be a good option!
i agree
No way this car stays at current depreciated values. It's simply too good of a car to be under 100k. I think we'll see some SLS appreciation on this thing now that they have stopped making them.
I hope so too as I just got me a 2020 model for $82k! I'd love for this thing to appreciate instead!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤑🤑🤑
@@raulsanchezjr4048 It's such good value perhaps the best value out there currently
Jeez, i was scrolling through my subscriptions and found you, and instantly remembered the amg video, that was why i subscribed and wow, 2 years already, you improved a lot in video quality man
This car is just perfection, seems like the price for this car is dropping to a more affordable range...I ll get this one someday haha!

I think its a future classic

Such a visually pleasing video! Top Gear Vibes. Must do more videos outside.
My favourite part of this car is that it isn't as "in your face" as many other models in this price range are, while still turning heads and looking tremendous.

Just bought the wife a 2020 C43 AMG cabriolet with all the extras. She loves it and its fun to drive. Perfect for Florida.
Dude I cannot believe it’s been 2 years already! I commented then and I’ll comment now - that trim is so intensely beautiful - what a car 😍

I bought one a couple days ago, same color combo, no carbon exterior though (rare as you said). Great car!
There’s no discernible turbo lag - what you are referring to when you are cruising is the delay from the transmission shifting down, because you are in Comfort. Switch to Sport + and you will find no delay.
The quality of the video shouldn't go unappreciated. It's really awesome. I am looking forward to buying one when I can.
This spec is just amazing! I love the interior colour! 😍
Great review of a great car! I’ve got a ‘16 and love it. You’d never believe a car with that long a hood could handle the way it does…like a go kart!
nice video, no filler just to the point and you've got a great example of the AMG GT
Man I love your content. You're not ostentatious or annoying. Just simple good content.
To clean the steering, use a microfiber cloth, only damp and rub it. Believe me. It will really make it like new. Have done it on a few dinamica/Alcantara steering wheels.
Excited to see what's coming next as well! What sunglasses are those btw? They look mint.
Nice video, well done,, better than some car videos. I am loving my CLS63 after 6 years of ownership, I can definitely agree with the love of the AMG line.
best production quality
Your's is the first review I've seen that's mentioned the visibility, which is a huge thing if someone's planning on using it as a daily driver.
I do not actively watch your channel but was looking at a good in-depth video of an amg gts and since you owned it long enough, it gives a great perspective. Maybe the best perspective actually. Thank you.
4:59 That growl.. Eargasm 😍
Truly a dream car of mines. A couple more years.. just bought a home, this is next on my list as a toy.
I hope you get one dude. I did exactly the same. I never bought a nice car until a bought a home first. You have the right mindset already 👍
I didn't know you guys had a sun there in the UK.
you're so chill man, I love it
the AMG V8 biturbo has got to be one of the best V8 engines ever made
facts! that is why Aston Martin Vantage, DB12 V8 and DBX uses AMG V8 BiTurbo.
Love that interior!
the exhaust pop and bang. “The sound just puts a grin on my face.” Yeah pretty much!
love your videos Oliur: IDK the quality, minimality IDK what. apart from the content, it was a pleasure to just look at the pure quality of the video
SUCH a beautiful car!!!!! Dayum the interior!
Kind of reminds me of the Jaguar FTYPEs in terms of a timeless design. Both are beautiful cars I could stare at all day from different angles.
Your quality is mind blowing man… would love the opportunity to chat 1 on 1 one day. Keep up the great work!
Hey Oliur,
Can you make a video on the finances behind these types of cars? Do they end up costing you a lot or could you use it for business? All those types of things would be helpful especially since running costs of something like a GT-S are sky high. Thank you my friend
I love my 2017 GTS.
i actually love your yhoutube channell ... you have this vibe of Dave2D and Marques Brownlee where you talk softly and use nice music and just focus on calm explanation without giving your own energy too much which is good or hyping up the person for no reason.
2 seconds in and I'm subscribed. What a beautiful opening graphic!
elite whip
And rare.
Back at it bud.
Do you prefer the F-type or this AMG-GTS?
tech reviewers making car videos lately has been sooooo refreshing and nice to see!
this is hands down my favorite car!!!!
Lovely car, would love to at least drive once.
Which do you prefer, this or the F-Type? Thanks. :)
That interior color is just beautiful.
One of the best car reviews ever made, keep up the good job
I really like this engine layout - reminds me of those old cars 👌
have my F360 spider Ferrari for almost 2 years now. No plans to replace it although this Benz GTS would be on the short list. And yep, I too own a Tesla fam car (Tesla X) for the daily commute/kids thingy. Really great combination!
The small audio elements/effects really go a long way. Enjoyed ervery moment of this video. Good one
Came across this video on my feed. Like AMG models. Great quality review. Did yoy end up selling it, and if so what car did you get?
Great Review. One of the Best reviews i seen this year.
A Porsche would be awesome, maybe a 992 cabriolet or 991.2?
That has to be one of THE best amg's!
i will say that u have made me like Mercedes for the first time with the way you presented the car.
Excited for what you pick up next! I remember when you swapped your F-Type out for this beauty, you definitely have a good taste for cars!
man your vids are always a joy to watch always see the effort you put in too them
Looks like a modern Lotus Elite. Smooth and great proportions.
Wouldn’t mind having this one.
the intro looked like a Mercedes official commercial!! wow!
Hows the "everyday" fuel economy? Have you followed it at all? Thank you.
Excellent video. You should try Sonax to clean the steering wheel. I had a full alcantara interior in my Cayman GTS and Sonax once a month would keep it nice and soft.
Wow desk setup reviewer ends up with a great car, not surprising you have good sense of design
Love it man! Mines the same with the saddle brown interior and carbon inside and out!
You can get the Alcantara on the steering wheel brushed to restore the texture
The brown interior was a great idea on the black exterior.
It’s easy to bring the Alcantara back to like new state. Dr. Beasley’s Alcantara cleaner and treatment works well.
you should add on a sick looking spoiler to complete the look
Amazing audio throughout the video
Turned up my headphones when I saw the exhaust warning haha!
I gotta chance to drive one other day 2017 I love when it changes gear and makes this sound at end of 5:26
These handheld B-ROLLs look awesome!
i remember the day you got this like it was yesterday!
My gts is a daily with 60k miles. More reliable than a corolla. Only negative is the harsh suspension. Amazing car.
In my country the roads are not that good is it okay if i buy it as a daily?
Oliur - What do you to apart from YTuber? Your life is like living a dream .
Glad to see you looking so healthy! Amazing video.
Great little video. Looking to buy one this month 🙏
Vibes are amazing
Thumbnail looks classy🔥
