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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 🥹
The design is absolutely incredible but nobody knows why the hell it weighs 2 tons. Absolutely lost the competition with the weight. This could have been a real competition for the 911.
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.
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.
@@charles-davidberube1174 yeah def softer lines and less aggressive. I'd take the sportscar over this, but still sounds and looks better than most of its competition
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
Guys I must dissapoint you, America is lucky with "base" engines. In Europe at my dealer the "base" is a 4-cyl hybrid called the GT43 coupe at about 150k EUR. the 63s is 260k EUR doe. Keeping my 2018 C43 coupe until I can afford an R8 hahaha.
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😄
Got to drive an AMG GTR through the windy Colorado mountain roads and that thing handled better than any other supercar I've driven, sans maybe a 992 911. Maybe. I'd definitely take the AMG GTR in that lineup of AMGs
Good easter egg with the guy waving over your head

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.

I've always thought that V8s sounded kind of "farty" lol. But to each their own.
Wait... The jag e type was ugly?!? That interior is red pepper... Was on the C amg(205).. Is kinda orange

The GTS is absolutely faster, however the AMG will be a LOT more fun, due to those 2 extra cylinders, and you have switchable RWD.

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

The Easter egg was totally genius!!!!!!
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
SAME SAME BUT DIIIIIIIIIIIFERENT
Haven’t seen them this excited and genuinely in love with a car in a while - good job Mercedes!

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
The previous gen was shaped way more exotic. This just has a standard sports coupe profile.
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.
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

You're missing Pro and GT3. Also in the new model there is a 63 SE
+1 for Yuri with the Van Halen Hot for Teacher reference
yeah, haha, perfect.

So why didn’t our car lift? Is it a separate option but with the same button?
@@TheStraightPipesdifferent option
This is probably my favorite new car in this class.
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.
This will worth half in 3 yrs. Porsche will still hold its value.
Dont believe me? Go check used MB GT and Porsche 911z.
I'm not sure I'd take this over a 911. 911's are just so good at everything!
4:52 when you really gotta go but you’re not close to the bucket 😢
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.
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.
The reason why the older amg gt IS THE GOD DAMN HOOD
Thats a nice launch
THIS IS THE REVIEW I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
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.
Exploring the ultimate blend of power and sophistication
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 🥹
Placed my order a few months ago. Can’t wait.
I'd look fly in this
The design is absolutely incredible but nobody knows why the hell it weighs 2 tons. Absolutely lost the competition with the weight. This could have been a real competition for the 911.
Can't believe how well this thing launches of the line! Merc should have putted the 635HP TT V8, slash 200KG and boom perfect.
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.
The exhaust sound after the launch sounds so similar to my old Audi RS7 lol (and I love it).
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
At this price point, the new 992.2 GTS is hard to pass up. Wouldn't compare this to the Turbo S at all.
Nice video! The smile on your faces while accelerating make it worth buying this car 😂
My new dream car
Who's waving reflection in the sunroof are we watching at 1:57
Wait... did you line up the crackles and pops with the intro music ?! 😂
To answer your question. Probably not...but on looks alone, it's a winner.
The amg GT black series is still my favorite
I think the turbine wheels from the 2009 Mercedes McLaren SLR would look good on the AMG GT 63.
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.
Interior color is very similar to the Sahkir Orange full leather interior w/ CF trim in my F80🔥
A very beautiful car I saw this morning.
I like the older style but appreciate the hatchback for sure. AWD. Nice
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
Waiting for the cle 53 review!💪
Love the looks of the AMG GT 63 but the price is eye watering?
Very rarely will someone say something bad about a Mercedes
Not bad but the previous gen GT was so much better.
This is more gt than sports car compared to the previous one! But this one imo looks better.
@@charles-davidberube1174 yeah def softer lines and less aggressive. I'd take the sportscar over this, but still sounds and looks better than most of its competition
@Sickwitit18 it's a good car no doubt, but build quality could be similar to the sl63 and the usual mercedes orange peel as well.
@@kishlayverma6622 true. Hopefully the build quality is more similar to my S class. Would explain the weight lol
If there’s one thing Mercedes does well, it’s their exhaust no matter if it’s their 8 cylinders AMGs or 4 cylinder AMGs.
I agree the wheels should look like the vents. Beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥶
As always an awesome review, love the car, I hope you do a review on the 55
THE SCARLET SEATS LOOK CRAZY🤩🤩
08:27 Whenever I see a cute doggy, I press LIKE. (not to mention here is the cute German shepherd.)
That's one mean clean looking machine! Dig the light show!
Yes this Is better than "🇬🇧 accent" Püh Shahhh 911 Turbo S.
I Like this car, also Mercedes-Benz GT family: GT 63, GT Black Series, And GT-R
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
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
Why did I always got the impression that Yacub was a bully in the high school, and Yuri was the one who got bullied 😂
One big, one smaller, perhaps.

Ouch!!!
R8 is discontinued… will be a great second buyer car
@@charles-davidberube1174 My thoughts exactly. I will buy second hand; budget up to 75K EUR, V8 manual or V10 auto as new as possible.
You guys can't even surround Stuttgart stadium with buildings but you definitely need less people and strict emissions standards lol
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😄
Would be great if you guys did a video as to what your favourite cars are ....E63s AMG Wagon ?
So no turbo lag? The same engine in the DBX has bad lag.
One of my favorite things to do when watching these videos is to try to guess the Horsepower and Torque. I say it out loud
It's beautiful to look at and sounds amazing. Great job AMG! Sadly I'll never experience the drive tho 😢
I like it a lot, but the crackles remind me of the "Duga Woodpecker" frequency thing.
We have one of these in our dealership. Definitely the attention magnet!
Got to drive an AMG GTR through the windy Colorado mountain roads and that thing handled better than any other supercar I've driven, sans maybe a 992 911. Maybe. I'd definitely take the AMG GTR in that lineup of AMGs
You guys chose breathtaking seats.
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 zip tie my plates onto the front. This new GT63 is the best looking AMGs ever made.
i like this car a lot, one of their best attempt recreating an SL coupé....
cuz it's not in anyway shape or form an actual AMG GT replacement lol
This is straight pipe worthy
I was hoping for Part 2 of INEOS Grenadier 4X4. (And kidding)
Gotta love the subtle Franco 😅
pfft only TRUE AMG fans know the 4 cylinder engine with batteries is the pure form of AMG PERFORMANCE.
Very nice, first time i like the design, but is it as good as new Vantage???
“Hey Mercedes” got me locked into this brand ngl. Not sure I could go back to not having it
I simply LOVE this car!! One day🤞
calling a fu*king E-type ugly is something I've never heard before
E types are like french bulldogs. Ugly but in a cute way 😂
That E-type coupe is like an off-the-chain classic shape. I'm not sure what these guys were smoking before that exchange.
E-Type is beautiful, but they are wrong anyway: It looks more like a 2014 Cayman.
