Time to Drive the New #AMGGT 63!! I’m Raz, sometimes known as Mr AMG, and today is finally the day to drive the new #MercedesAMG GT 63!
It’s a car many #AMG fans are super hyped up about, because it stays true to the emotional V8 character that has been a hallmark of the brand for decades. Building upon the Grand Touring side of the car, it now features a 2+2 seating, 4matic all wheel drive, and a much bigger interior and boot.
The V8 engine and gearbox are now mated up front, to free up space for 4matic+ all wheel drive - a first for the GT. It’s always rear biased, up to 100%, and a max of 50% power to the front. The 63 gives the same horsepower as the outgoing AMG GT R at 585BHP, and a 0/60 of 3.2 seconds (we test it at sub 3!). There’s also a GT55 with 476BHP coming soon.
All this sounds very familiar tot he SL with which it shares the same platform and most of the main comportments.
So the car has grown, and has lost the “front mid engine” transaxle layout of the original GT and SLS, along with the perfect 48/52 weight balance. It’s now 1900KG, and on paper reading more like a super saloon.
So because it shares platform, it’s accused by many keyboard warriors of being an SL with a roof. But is that really the case?
AMG head of dynamics Rene Szczepek, filled us in a little on this. First of all, the rear transmission is unique to the GT, which alongside the wider tyres, helps shave 0.6 off the SL’s launch time. Further more, modern components are wholly dependant upon software, and car vary massively dependant on configuration. The GT’s software for ESP, gearbox, steering, engine map - all unique. Most crucially the semi active roll stabilisation uses hydraulic pumps instead of roll bars, saving weight and helping create a unique character. Speaking of character - the exhaust note is simply orgasmic, with a very different note to the SL.
But will it be enough? Can this first Grand Tourer version ever hope to live up the old pure sports car? Let’s find out today!

911 Turob S or AMG GT63?
Thanks for the video
Where's the howl? First gen Audi R8 V8 had a nice exotic howl; Seriously don't make a mistake just buy a Ferrari FF sounds much better and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more special. Your kids will love you for it when you pick them up from school...
very underrated editing. was a pleasure to watch. subscribed!!
Where can I get that AMG exhaust T-shirt?!?!? 😭
Im just excited that nobody is buying that bogus new C63, let them rot in the show rooms!!!
Fr that car is useless
No one is buying SLs either
I hope they scrap it for the facelift, give us a 4.0 again
@@BabyKobeeee i see SLs here and there, however, havent seen a single new C63 yet
I agree if I wanted a 4cyl amg I’d get an a45... C63 was always the tire slayer v8
Gosh that V8 sounds so good, such a characterful engine, exactly what the new C63 is missing.
It's the speakers.
The pops really put me off though, they sound so fake, they´re always the same
Will UK cars sound the same ?
Evo said its quiet/muted
@@th3b0untyhunter the one shown in this video is an EU spec car with OPF, so the UK one will sound the same.
@DanielSadjadian thanks for reply Daniel.
Odd that Evo commented on how muted it was, certainly sounded good in the review
This is the first time AMG has taken a step in the right direction in a while imo. I'll still be keeping my last gen GTC over this though. Great video Raz!
That old generation of GT will remain unique as Mercedes has dropped the mid-engine concept. The new generation is cool and all, but conceptually it is more generic.
C63s coupe language on back.
This shi is trash lmao horrible weight balance and too much luxury
what do you mean mid engine? Since when is front mid engine considered mid engine? The Nissan GTR and Nissan Z have both been front mid engine since 2008 but noone calls them mid engine cars... am i missing something? @@tatianaes3354
The 4343lb weight is insane. when I drive a coupe in the first place I'm looking for a dynamic chassis for cornering and a driver focused experience.
AMG has lot its ways with making modern amg offering so heavy (like the c63) and too much technology
Gotta say this red and black spec is by far the prettiest out of the 3 you posted on your IG.
I love the rear end, actually think the SL front end looks better once you compared them on top of each other. But the gt front is still sexy aggressive. What I HATE and PRAY Mercedes owners are giving feedback on is that Tesla style huge center display. I plan on getting earlier models for that alone.
It honestly still looks good and works well. But I agree the horizontal integrated screens look better.
Yeah ipad shoved in middle of dash..noooooooooo apart from that...bootiful 👍
I find it quite useful, however I would like a good mixture of physical buttons and screens, like they did on the steering wheel
Wow the new GT is absolutely gorgeous, what a sexy V8 coupe 🔥
Im taking the 2020 gt-r all day as it really carries it’s own separate appeal. This is beautiful but it’s literally 99% an sl with a hardtop.
Nope
Just wait for the gtr version of this lol
@@Dozithekidyes lol.
@@Dozithekidwill it be mid engine with a rear transaxle? If not , it can’t compete
Nah it looks much better. Best looking currently by far. N much better looking than the old GT
Congratulations to MB, they made the best 911 homage in the market.
I thought I was the only one. It looks like someone welded the front of a Mercedes on a 911
@@ggj1987 they even added 2 (fake ) rear seats to make it the same like the 911
@@ggj1987 Looks more E Type if you ask me.
Considering Mercedes invented the car you could say that Porsche copied them. This is way nicer than a 911.
@@ggj1987 mercedes was always aiming to the 911 even in the 2015 version :
AMG GT - 911 Carrera S
AMG GTR - 911 GT3
SL55 AMG 4 Matic - 911 Carrera 4s Cabriolet
AMG GTR PRO - 911 GT3RS
AMG Black Series - GT2RS
always the 911 was a "4 seater" this magically became a 4 seater, the 991 has front active aero, this now has a front aero, the actual 911 has a single rear light composed of multiple rear lights now this mercedes is a single rear light car with a more 911 rear.
everything is there and not only this, the panamera in mercedes is the gt63s 4 door, the taycan is similiar to the eqxx (even knowin that it's respective purpouses are different the styling is there.) , the macan is a eqa etc
but not only that the actually front styling of current mercedes 2013- 2018 is from volvo, the rear of the amg one takes a lot of inspiration from the aventador SV.
i liked when mercedes was mercedes and not aimming to the something else.
Its crazy to me to think that somehow this is the succesor of the slr McLaren the downgrade in peformance and looks is BIG, whichs is simply sad.
This is one of the best edited car channels. I enjoy every episode. Not gimmicky, jut great edits with great commentary and insight.
1900 kg is wild for this kind of car, especially developed and build on its own AMG platform.
Not for a GT car - but yes for a sports car. It's more like a LC500 than a 911
@@Welsh_Veteran_420_ZWildly disagree, just because it got GT in its name, doesn't make it an actual Gran Turismo/Gran Tourer just like the Ford GT is anything but a Gran Turismo. The AMG GT rivals the 911 and other actual sportscars.
@AOTanoos22 If it rivals the 911 it's the 911 turbo then - a GT
Absolutely enjoyed this review and the car is awesome. Just that sound and emotion alone is worth it. The shape and profile is perfection as well.
I guess it‘s now more true to the „GT“ nametag than before. But they DEFINITELY took away from the sports car that it has been!
* They added 350 Kg (770lb), that's an absurd amount of added weight.
* They ditched the transaxle design
* They ditched the dry sump system
* They ditched hydraulic steering
* They ditched Rear Wheel Drive
* They ditched front-mid engine layout
* And yes, they took the SL chassis and the 2+2 seat layout which makes this essentially an SL, especially in roadster form (I'm assuming this will come out at some point).
Glad to hear that it‘s an exciting car nevertheless though. But the list of things they got rid of is heart braking to me.
This car costs as much as a GT3. Let that sink in...
350kg gain with no electrification is ludicrous
The SL is the roadster form.
@@jackmarston2515 I said this is very close to the existing SL and it will get even closer to the SL once a GT Roadster comes out.
True.
Just wanted to say, thanks to this channel + Chris Harris for motivating me to work hard I have been able to buy a 2017 C63S. Such a great car and so proud to own it. It's a blue t-model with chrome trim and saddle brown interior.
Congrats bro
Congratulations man.
Congrats man , you're living many of our dreams .
I love my saddle brown interior. Just butter.
Respect, keep it up and enjoy the fruits of your labor
Incredible video mate, interesting looking car/model, glad to see AMG haven't given up 🙌
Thanks bro! One of the best new cars, I’ve driven, and the most fun we’ve had on a press trip in a while! Jamie and I fighting over the key for once felt good.🤣
As an owner of a 2012 Maserati GranTurismo S, one of the most beautiful long hood/bonnet GT cars ever made, this new AMG is drop dead gorgeous. And it will be beautiful in 50 years. And those noises are intoxicating. Great vid!
Amazing VID quality!! Love the details and the magic of transitioning between different models / years / etc etc. spectacular !!!
This is an absolute machine! The combination of luxury and speed has been achieved. Phenomenal looks and mind blowing sound track! Big up to guys at AMG, you nailed it!
Somehow doubt these sell that well, a real shame getting rid of the transaxle DCT layout, a standout feature. It sure looks good though.
Yup. Mercedes have priced themselves to stupid levels
Beautiful but previous gen is better in and out also less complicated
Agree , too big and too heavy -with a unusable back seat
Ya the proportions were better and the interior was also unique. This new one feels like an economies of scale car…
So much respect for the presentation & the review and the useful information. Such an authentic way to do this, really stands out!
Love the video, great review and you are the master at those CGI shots! The car looks beautiful outside, damn... that rear view and body, just perfectly well done. But I must say, I'm not really impressed with the inside especially since you've compared it to the older model, where it had that center cockpit, but I'm sure people will get used to it.
So glad that AMG hasn’t completely lost their mind. Only with the C
It’s coming !! Wait for it
This car is still a step backwards
@@harleyquebecenrevue3580 well time has proven you wrong, the E53 is still a 6 cylinder
It's only the C/GLC models that are screwed
well, that is really good news. Glad I was so wrong. Now I’ll predict the E63 will have a i6 and maybe I’ll be wrong and it will be a V8. Yeeeee!
Very good, and fair review - best I’ve seen yet in terms of articulating this car’s actual achievements and expectations.
Love the editing style, making the video super engaging to watch!
Loved the opening drive sequence.... Freaking beautiful car from the outside
I've never been in a moving AMG sadly, but I'd love the get an OG GT before I die lol. Keep me in your prayers hehe. Maybe I should just pray to get to drive one just once....
The force is strong with this one
A BMW fanboy approves this car without any issues at all its beautiful.
Do you think bmw will ever release a supercar one day ?
@@jonckheeremaite5171it’s possible for them to do as a final hoorah but I’d say the chances are slim not only because years BMW says there’s no reason for them to make a super car but also because it’s been so many years since they’ve made one.
@@jonckheeremaite5171 they have one (M5 CS), just that they're 4 doors instead of the coupe but still, 630hp is bonkers and 0-62 in just 2.7s when you give it all the beans
@@jonckheeremaite5171Don't think so. We dream of a supercar that can do supercar things but with four doors.
@@baoquoc3710that’s a fast sedan lol. It can’t handle. Thts like saying an SRT hellcat is a super car
From the exhaust 😮
The force is with this one my friend
Absolutely epic! Great sound and what an emotional car. I cannot wait for the more focused variants. Love this direction of the AMG GT! Would totally get one over the current offerings from Lambo or Ferrari.
What a gorgeous car!!! Music to my ears!!! Just need few more promotions in order to afford such beast lol!
I'm always here for the cars and the visual effects, I just love it
What a great video! Love it!!
It’s a good car. But it’s too heavy and it cost almost as much as a Porsche Turbo. Unless you’re a true die hard Mercedes fan, I don’t see why you would get this. They did do a fanatic job, that I will admit.
Why would I get this over a porsche? Because I dont want shit owned by VW.
This should be the c63 amg
I prefer the overall silhouette of the previous gen
Hey, props to folks which made the transitions and visuals, top notch stuff
Great Review as always. Car loo and sounds fantastic!
I’m going to buy one, just because the interior air-con vents look so cool!
The vents remember me to my W123 dashboard ❕😅
Now that's a gorgeous looking vehicle , stunning!
That sloping roof looks like an 911 and that engine sounds awesome !
Good job AMG !
Now if only I could afford it , I think I'll sell my only remaining kidney, I sold my first one for the new BMW 7 Series !
Love the graphics. It puts you a head above the other car reviewers on RUclips.
This car is just beautiful at every corner and angle... i love every inch of it... Good job AMG!!!!!❤❤❤
What I wanna see for the GTR/BS version.
- Redesign chassis layout to be front-mid engined again (they have designed chassis before like the SL BS)
- lose the weight, drop the 4 wheel drive if it helps
- add the race tech like dry sump
Ironically I’m describing the Gen 1 lol. But still the formula was great. Now they are trying to sell this to the Porsche daily driver guys
Yep, they ruined the car. It's for posers and those with no driving ability now.
you are describing a typical merc buyer@@ahemgee9542
I guess if over run bangs and pops are your thing and you crave attention it's a winner.
So much work put into this video
Sheesh, what a video. The planning that must have gone into this... Respect.
This simply is a coupe version of the new sl, and thats in no way a bad thing. The new sl63 handles great, and this coupe versión of it, makes sense.. at 170k euros max with keramik brakes
The SL is supposed to be the roadster version of this. But it had a different front in order for the SL to still sort of keep it's own identity.
180k full option.
Am I the only one that loves the physical buttons more on the console? It looks more... manly, robust, and what I would expect to see in a car like this.
Ofc you aren't, most of us do, it's just not cosy with all the screens and ambi light and physical buttons are just more easy also.
Great review. To me this AMG GT is "We are not really selling it much anyway" AMG GT.
Excellent review 🔥🔥🔥
Some obvious advice: Don't disrespect your viewers by stating that we don't know what we're talking about bc we're not AMG clients.
Probably 90% of your viewers aren't AMG clients.
Literally one of the most anticipated videos I’ve wanted to see from you
Love the transitions and edit.
Great review Raz.
This could have also been the c63s😭😭💔
C63s sadly is too cheap to justify the emission penalty
“This is AMG, man!”
Summed up the whole review
Said the same thing about the SL in its review.
@@jackmarston2515 And he's not wrong
Hi from Australia! Love your videos brother!
🙏👊
Beautifully crafted. I love it.
Surprisingly, it sound good from the outside despite being a lot more quiet compared to the previous generations, and the fact that it sounds loud only on launch control and then it gets quite leaving you only with the artificialsound from inside. That's the think that i despise the most! I see that in a lot of sports cars nowadays and compared to older sports cars it seems overall a lot like a downgrade, aside for the technological stuff.
Exactly! Although the V8 is great, I still hear a lot of artificial sound inside the cabin
That's because the sound is channeled from the exhaust to the speakers in the back. It's not am artificial soundtrack.
Just a wonderful car that should fit my garage very well in a few years BUT I much prefer the old interior and that generation will always remain special. 😀😀😀😀
Your taste is impeccable..been searching for a video without the wing.
Where was this filmed? Gorgeous area. I love the modern wizardry you use to show us many cars and their highlights, all parked in the same space, just by snapping your fingers. U Rock!
SLS and former GT are more iconic and the way to go ;-)
No and bullshit.
I think this car is gorgeous. Im an SL guy myself and was thinking of getting a new one but i just dont like it. Way over priced as well ! This GT though. Just beautiful. I love the meaty backside. Very fast too
"...the meaty backside..." 😂
i hope the 55 will get closer to the price of the outgoing GT S because the price of that 63 is just over the top
Looks gorgeous so beautiful 😍 🤩 love this car and sounds amazing
Great review as always! That Clip at 9:36 is just absolutely beautiful!
I mean, its still a fact that the SL has the SAME Interior. If the GT has a SL Interior or the SL has a GT Interior doesnt really matter at the end of the day. What you say about the inspiration of the old GT makes sense. It see it as well. And btw, these two cars sharing an Interior isnt a bad thing when its a nice Interior as this.
Fr - love your avatar btw
Wow that is one sexy AMG supercar!!! This looks and sounds better than the Porsche 911 Carrera as I hate to say it being a Porsche fan for over 10yr now. The body looks perfect and the sound is amazing!! I would rather buy this than play the Porsche dealer game in over paying MSRP!!!
Beautiful and pure class. Its gonna fly of the show room floors - for sure @!
Pure aesthetics! One of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen!
Sounds good
But, front end looks nice, rear still doesn’t work for me
Also a ridiculous price compared to the competition, doubt they’ll sell them at list to anyone but the die hard especially as finance costs are through the roof
Too heavy as well
Why so negative?
Great view ! Love ur channel
very cool comparison of design making it easy to compare.
Great Review Raz,
I agree 100% that pushing a sports car to the upper reaches of its limits where it is safe to do so is more fun than constantly reigning in a higher powered car that is too fast for the public road.
It sounds like the 55 variant may just be the pick of the range.
P.S it was me that said “hello” to you at John Lewis Bluewater a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah I didn't really get that part of the review. Even a miata is too fast for the road. Any car is. So I don't understand how there's any difference going from 63 to 55
Will there be any 2 litre or 3 liter variant?
Just curious to know 🤔
as far as I know not
Bro, you got some balls. And I respect it.
How’s the ride? I had the new SL63 but sold it because it was beating me up. The ride was so rough i couldn’t take it. Even in comfort setting it was abusive. Is it equally as stiff?
Well being the sportier version it will be as stiff, probably even stiffer.
Lmfao😂😂😂😂
I'm actually not that much of a fan of all of the burbles and cracks from the exhaust. It doesn't sound natural, it sounds artificial
I actually like the exhaust note under comfort mode. The deep rumble reminds me of the NA V8 of the C63
Must be me getting old .
Great video, thank you
The SL’s are having trouble selling because they are way overpriced
That's probably true. Daily production numbers are quiete low atm
Really? Are you a sales executive at mercedes to know that?
The lack of a DCT is the biggest miss in this car. I'm interested to hear your thoughts specifically on that.
DCT too heavy mate, torque converter is the way to go, got to respect BMW!!
That car looks AMAZING!
Excellent review
now this is what we call a proper amg. the sound from the factory is wild. that new c63 made them realize they are loosing it. hope they keep it this way.
they're being forced by europe's new regulations to put in a 4 cylinder, it aint really their fault
@@akiara8491 I understand but why can’t they discontinue the car instead of killing the AMG name.. that power train would suit c43 maybe the new CLE That way we would now know where the brand is going with new models instead of staining 63 name

@@Roman99492 yeah, i guess i'd agree with that
Sorry will get a lot of abuse from my comment but I loved and bought the original GTS apart from the good looks the interior was on another level.
All new Mercedes now look like a pimped out Tesla with that hideous screen glued to the dash. It doesn’t flow and doesn’t look good. I for one will be upgrading to a DB12 in a few years. Fallen out of love with Mercedes due to those ridiculous interiors.
There rant over !!!
Looks great in that colour
What a beast great video
still... 400kg heavier than previous true AMG GT. Shame on you Mercedes
They took a pefect 50/50 weight distribustion sports car: added two un-useable seats, added 300kg and up'd the price tag.....
All while the car is faster and still handles better. What. Is. Your. Issue?
@@jackmarston2515 It's not faster, doesn't handle better. I chip tune the 4.0 amg often, especially on the old GTs and old V8 Aston Martins. They're only slower coz they lower the boost from 600-500hp

Amazing 🔥🙌🏻
That sound wth😍😍🥰
Genuine looker and good evolution of the previous model, however I think there's been too much emphasis on this vs the SL. This new GT63 seems to want to steal market share from the 911 and I was hoping to see where this fits in amongst the 911 line up.
Just in the middle of watching your video and I agree with you, the majority of keyboard warriors aren't AMG clients.
I've owned an AMG GTS, GTC, GTR, S63 sedan, S63 convertible, GLE 63s and one of my all time daily favourites, an E63s.
I'm looking forward to the new AMG GT in all its potential iterations.
So Raz only wants fully qualified AMG owners to comment however he will put up with the rabble viewing his channel. Double standards much.
“The Exhaust is strong with this one!” YES! Oh man, that’s my new favorite line! :p
Soon, you can buy the T-shirt to go along with it😉
@@RemoveBeforeRace i’d legit buy that. The exhaust is the main reason my last 3 AMG’s were all from 2016-2017! - and it’ll go well with my lightsaber collection, too! :p
I've been enjoying my 2021 E63S for the last three years and have been thinking about its successor. My plan has been to pick up the S63 E Performance, but that car is unobtainable until MB finally releases the initial build slots. The new GT63 is extremely tempting; if I can get a build slot for the spring, I'll probably go with it.
