2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S (Edition 1) Start Up, Road Test, and In Depth Review

[@lonruff2004]

still has the v8 rumble, i hope the c63 will sound as good, why cant bmw m powered cars sound like this

[@WanderinHawk]

because bmw cares about the environment, so they try to maintain their performance but trying their hardest to have the least amount of emisions

[@saabkyle04]

gokii polat Trust me, it does, I had the fortune of seeing and hearing one. Looking forward to filming it in the future!

[@lonruff2004]

***** thanks mate :)

[@jortepap]

New C63 sounds absolutely shit. M4/M3 sound soooo much better

[@manyakols9]

because they dont have v8s

[@eduardodtb]

Dude, your channel is awesome.

[@saabkyle04]

Eduardo de Toledo Bernardo Thanks!!

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

I know right, his reviews just have their own particular nice taste where he tells you practically everything you need to know about the car. An awesome channel indeed! :D

[@michaelsylvesterii5741]

So trueim a 13 year old car geek and have beewatching these videos for two years

[@goldpony]

The sound, the looks...This car is just awesome! Awesome review man!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Awesome video Kyle! It's so awesome that you got invited to the press drive! These are awesome, I'm glad that they kept the compact dimensions! It looks great!

[@DoctaM3]

***** I am still a bit conflicted about this car. This is just awesome that AMG invited you.... As a follow-up at a different price point compared to the SLS AMG, its pretty cool but i miss the Gullwing of the SLS. Still I love how you do these reviews. Nice job and better yet, you get to take it on the track!!!

[@saabkyle04]

DoctaM3 Thanks so much! The gullwings will definitely be missed, but I guess that's in the name of cost savings. Definitely cool nonetheless, was very fortunate to have the opportunity to get some seat time!

[@Dirtymexicanman11]

Love your videos Docta. keep up the good work

[@winstonoko777]

***** Hey Kyle, can you do a review of the 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro 4X? Thanks

[@DoctaM3]

Zack kirby thanks Zack. ***** true. Sounds like you had a blast in it. Did you see the video I posted today. Let's talk rally later :)

[@saabkyle04]

DoctaM3 I did! Sounds great to me!

[@VS666]

I am very impressed at how far your channel has come over the years. I still remember watching your standard definition videos many years ago. This channel is my go to for a refined, in depth look at my favorite cars that are coming out. Bravo Kyle, keep up the good work and soon these car companies will be working for you!

[@jayrovelt1870]

i love this car more than girls

[@ThatGuy-ik7ox]

Jay Rovelt WTF

[@joseluisreynoso8600]

Jay Rovelt I agree your honesty

[@NTlak-Entertainment]

ahhhsyyapppp

[@and79]

You’re probably 18 now. Do you still feel the same?

[@ghosted_ty]

My God... the startup clip at the beginning made me cry. That is one of the most beautiful sounding and looking cars i have ever seen :**) Outstanding job Kyle. You have just earned a subscriber.

[@cuvkiller]

Any luck with a C7 Z06? I'm dying to see your review of it

[@saabkyle04]

cuvkiller Waiting for one to show up near me :)

[@rudiratte1]

This car looks absolutely amazing, it's simply perfect. I think the only sportscar that looks even better is probably the 458 speciale

[@gnyshjaydan261]

This one is the sexiest car in the world.

[@carguyns4348]

Gnysh Jaydan the most beautiful Mercedes Benz ever

[@MercedesBenzDowntownCalgary]

What a car, hey? We're absolutely smitten with ours! Great review!

[@snowcatxx87]

Lol what are you doing here

[@baddriversofnewyork5565]

You've been uploading a lot of Benz's lately, have you been going back to the same dealership? Also, you should try to film some more affordable cars in the future, and cars that aren't as new.

[@baddriversofnewyork5565]

I my self would like to see some older Japanese cars, like the 80 to 90s Accord/Civics or a Maxima SE.

[@baddriversofnewyork5565]

Lol, that comment made me laugh. Mercedes have a shit ton of maintenance problems, but I'm not gonna get into that. Even if he keeps uploading Benz videos, he's gonna run out of Benz's to review. Also, I never implied that he should stop uploading Mercedes cars altogether, he should review less and upload cheaper cars that the average consumer would want to buy. Not like your average middle class man would be able to afford a sports car that costs over 100k.

[@saabkyle04]

Bad Drivers Of New York Have you not seen all of the "regular" things I've uploaded lately? If not, feel free to look them up. Also, as stated in these past two videos I was at a Mercedes-AMG event. The others were through multiple Benz dealers that I just had the opportunity to do at the time. Sure, it's a lot, but ask yourself, would you honestly refuse to film a cool car just because you've uploaded others from the same maker? I don't typically film so much of one brand in a close period of time, but this was an exception. I would do this with any make if I could, but the fact of the matter is, a cool car is a cool car. If given the chance, I will always take advantage of the opportunity to bring it to this channel.

[@saabkyle04]

***** I understand, but a lot of people don't want to see cars they can just go down the street to see, of course, I'm generalizing, but that's the pattern I've seen over time. I have to try and balance this and it gets tricky. I'll always try my best, but it all boils down to what is available. It would be SO much easier if there were multiple people making videos for this channel, but it's just me. I have to be choosy on what I do to make sure I keep my audience entertained at the same time. I'll continue to do my best, but the paramount of this channel is to make videos of unique vehicles that people want to learn more about. As far as mazda/mitsubishi, etc. I don't have many press relationships at this time as most of the videos are done at dealerships, this makes it easier for me to locate vehicles as North Carolina isn't a big fleet rotation state. If I can build more relationships over time, that's great, but until then, I'll continue posting as much variety as one guy can.

[@saabkyle04]

supremefantastic Thanks so much, that means a lot!

[@DaddyIvo]

The styling of this bad-boy is awesome! Classic design with modern edges. It's the best way I can describe it! Mega-Review, dude!

[@doughboi007]

People need to realize that this is not the SLS replacement! It is a step right before the SLS.

[@stephenle2458]

+Andrew Fallon True. They did not release the SLS replacement yet.

[@vintatsh]

This car really sets itself apart from others. Unique design, fantastic sound. Pure emotion.

[@Nagstrr23]

I like the design: Not exaggerated, more prudent and Mercedes trademark, the luxury, still finds its place. It also seems to be more agile and less overloaded than the SLS. The question is: Does a 911- driver easily change his opinion and taste and rather would buy a GT(-S)?

[@saabkyle04]

***** Not sure, in my eyes it's different enough from the 911 to be a unique alternative that has its own strengths.

[@roadwarrior144]

This has been the most in-depth, detail-filled review I've seen! Brilliant work, indeed. Subscribed!!

[@ossimjew]

They should have kept the damn gull wing doors and it would have been perfect!

[@mjz187]

Hell no bro my friend had one and we was both Annoyed when people parked to close

[@MrRichcop426]

Well done Kyle! I am glad that AMG invited you to this special preview, and that they supplied the top notch back-up materials and displays to overview some of the increasingly complex layouts and technologies that are coming. That really was super helpful and needed! Thanks for doing a thorough job, plus including many more sound bites for a car many of us will never drive! Kudos to AMG for recognizing that the video journalism element will likely cover this so much better that the dealer network, and subsequently raise antiicipation much better that the old style Mercedes videos!

[@FanOfAttitudeEra]

I was wondering how could Mercedes get a better sound with a smaller V8 bi-turbo, man i got the answer, AMG are exhaust sound gods.

[@maxichui]

It's the firing sequence and the crankshaft design. The old American muscle V8 uses a cross plane crankshaft design which makes that kind of sound and German (most) V8 uses a flat plane crankshaft.

[@doughboi007]

BMW fanboys are very distraught.

[@graffsmakn3402]

Is it a war against gangs divided by their preference in cars? I never knew you could own a BMW and can't like a Mercedes. What are you talking about?

[@doughboi007]

If you liked Mercedes-Benz, you wouldn't own a bmw. If I liked a lambo and had enough money, I'd get a lambo, not a Ferrari.

[@Perfecturn]

+Andrew Fallon funny because i daily drive a bmw 335i and also own a s63 amg

[@doughboi007]

Why wouldn't you daily drive an s class?

[@Perfecturn]

+Andrew Fallon running costs don't make sense to daily it.

[@24james]

All AMG's are badasses...but this one tops the list. The best thing about Kyle (in my opinion) is that he could be presenting a 1998 Camaro...or a 2016 AMG Mercedes. And he gives each and every car the same respect. Quite a classy guy. Very cool sir!

[@Daumex]

I just wonder, why on earth did you drive it in auto mode...

[@Daumex]

***** What i meant is why didn't he shift manually, can't believe i need to clarify that to anyone. And no, not all AMGs are automatic, at least not throughout the history...

[@LemuelTaylor]

Excellent video Kyle. Loved it.

[@Marookovs]

2016 :D ? WTF

[@saabkyle04]

MarookoVs Before everyone jumps to conclusion before watching the video. This car isn't going to be released till Q2 of 2015. These are pre production test cars.

[@nazhif1]

***** Pre-production? So does that mean there might be some changes in the production version

[@saabkyle04]

nazhif1 Potentially, mainly that US spec cars will receive amber turn signals, painted bumperettes in the rear to fill the license plate gap and a speedometer that reads in MPH. The car itself isn't likely to change aside from potential color combinations. For example, I'm not sure if the production edition one will be available in red. I'm almost thinking it'll be a matte grey but feature all of the unique bits shown in this video.

[@snyc42]

***** FUUUUUTRE!!!

[@Qezelbas]

In EU a 2014 car is 2015 in America

[@carguyns4348]

Everyone please don’t argue with me, but this is the most beautiful Mercedes ever built. Period

[@sharkheadism]

MB took a step backward from the SLS with this... thing

[@politicallycorrect2920]

This car isn't replacing the sls, it's a new car to compete with the porsche 911. Mercedes is looking at making a successor for the sls not confirmed for when though.

[@sharkheadism]

Rayan Moosa Ah, thanks

[@politicallycorrect2920]

no problem

[@umaralikha]

The SLS was a limited production run vehicle. They stopped it since its becoming a collectors item. My guess is their next supercar would be after the i8 supercar comes out.

[@davidsotelofosho]

You make the best in depth reviews. I like when you review German cars since I have a 2015 C-class. Keep up the great work!

[@w8lifter201]

I still think the SLR was the best looking

[@azizonov]

i think so the slr is the best nv

[@JesusIsLord7773]

John t for sure! I love the slr exterior . They should put the gts to the slr and call it a more mean masterpiece

[@bubbyharvey]

***** hey, I love your channel, as well as all of the cars, I have one question....how do you get the dealerships to allow you to do a review on the cars?

[@mergimfera11]

I think you should change this "hey everyone how is goin'" dude..

[@saabkyle04]

mrillyrian88 Nah, it's what I do, I don't want to be like anyone else.

[@richzilla08]

***** :p

[@realAAron124]

Whenever I think of these videos I think of when he says that, its awesome, different and friendly but not too friendly.

[@xIWRESTLEABEARONCEx]

Try to find any video indepth review of this car and you'll never find one. fortunate for us kyle gave us the ultimate opportunity. Thanks again for the amazing job!

[@saabkyle04]

Md Hazim Thanks so much for watching!

[@piyathatt]

Look like a z4 to me

[@kacperpawlowski7744]

it does not look even close to the z4 lol

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

Kacper Pawlowski it does, actually

[@piyathatt]

Kacper Pawlowski I said to me not to you man... IMO it look like a z4

[@LetsPlayNintendo]

That was fast! Pretty awesome getting to review cars so early.

[@MisterNBG]

Z06 > this garbage.

[@alecmartin0180]

Agreed. I like this, but not as cool as the corvette. Plus, corvette is faster.

[@TwoMilky]

Too bad American cars have the reputation of being unreliable. Don't get me wrong, those new Vettes are nice, but once they got into their new price bracket there's tons of other cars I'd buy first, simply because I think the Corvette is overpriced.

[@harryc266]

And Shiite its american it has nothing on euro cars idiots

[@mitch8916]

Shit, i'll take both. The whole Euro vs. American debate gets kind of old after a while. All cars have their own characteristics and even I have my own biases, but I can respect all cars equally.

[@chadkelly2566]

***** you're stupid as fuck lol, that's all I have to say, I prefer German cars but are you trying to call the C7 slow, well just to make you feel better I'd take the C7 over your old C63 lol

[@Singerone]

I was always a fan of the stunning SLS. This GT(s) needs a little bit more time to get used to. But after several months with help of a lot of good videos I think this GT will continue the successful story of AMG. Unique shape, beautiful interior and a blistering exaust note!

[@ikbendusan]

man this car is striking. it's my favourite mercedes-amg now

[@customgtrs]

I'm addicted to your channel. I bought a car and your video helped my research.

[@Lamborghini1394]

Idk why people are complaining about this beautiful car!! It's not y'all can even afford it! Haha, awesome video Kyle! Salutes from NC!

[@kacperpawlowski7744]

Finally! I've been waiting for this video. Thanks Kyle for the good work!

[@redwolf48845]

With all the cross sections and track testing provided by AMG, I consider this video to be the best one of the year.

[@saabkyle04]

Seth Porter It sure seems that way!

[@krhrulz1385]

Thanks saabkyle04 you and shmee are the best!

[@fishtankarmy1394]

This car is the perfect example of a coupe. I would even go as far as saying it's one of the best looking cars ever made, definitely the best looking Mercedes..

[@aston458]

Awesome care and awesome review. You pretty much nailed it in every possible and conceivable way

[@64Spokes]

This is much better looking than the outgoing SLS in my opinion. The fastback is so much sleeker than the notchy rear glass on the SLS.

[@cameronwilmot7768]

You win! I've followed your page for a while! I watch all you videos you post and you perform the best overall review of cars on KZbin in my opinion. I apologize I was not trying to offend you. Keep up the great reviews!!!

[@saabkyle04]

Cameron Wilmot Thank you!

[@Ilija742]

Exceptional...mercedes has done it again

[@ArthurSperotto]

You went to town on this one, didn't ya? Hahaha I'm very happy for you having these opportunities, Kyle. Love you, man!! #nohomotho

[@sugarsaint]

SaabKyle is the TRUTH

[@MasterDayTrader]

Love all the technical stats, dimensions, and interior info. I see as a treat we got to see some performance driving. Now I know you must be getting better, because I like watching your reviews, even if I'm not to crazy about the car, it still appeals to the automotive enthusiast in me. Good job.

[@saabkyle04]

35823582 Thanks so much! I'm constantly trying to evolve, improve and see what works in trying to create the best content possible!

[@PinkPartyParrot]

Nice! Ive been waiting for this video!

[@crmnl_la]

Kyle, you have the best reviews and the most as far as I've seen! Most of the videos sound well too professional and there is not much feeling of it. We'd like to hear more feeling, how you feel about driving, the sound, and how you personally think about the car. Nice review too!

[@LeshVAuto]

I like how AMG redesigned their engine and moved the turbos above the engine. I got the 2015 GL550. It got some slight turbo lag, even though the turbos are in front of the engine, but works like a charm. Well done Kyle as always. Hopefully when I get an a chance and get rid of this nasty cold, I post my GL550.

[@jannissen9211]

The design with the turbo intakes inbetween the V is a complete BMW N63 rip-off (Their V8), which exists since 2008. It was however inevitable that MB and soon probably Audi copy it, as it is very effective.

[@saabkyle04]

Jan Nissen Since you felt the need to post twice, so will I. Every single manufacturer eventually adopts technology, for the most part. Audi does use this technology now. If BMW was the first, wonderful, but it doesn't prevent others from adopting it over time, it would be silly to think otherwise.

[@LeshVAuto]

Jan Nissen Like Ferrari claiming the Magnetic suspension was their idea even though Cadillac engineered the suspension from the start (which was first introduced in the STS), through the Delphi corporation. Companies do that to gain profit by making claims that their design is way better than the competition or they are the first ones. Keep in mind though, the first person to develop that kind of idea will always be ahead of the competition because they always find ways to make their creation better than the original.

[@EricFeliciano]

Is it possible to buy a test model? I would think those would be collectors items in the future.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

Can't wait for a 911 vs review!

[@ZzackK262]

still missing the wing doors on the sls, nonetheless still a hell of a good lookin car. Good to see you get invited to this sort of reveals and first previews, your channel is growing! keep up the good work Kyle

[@blkwizzard50]

that transmission layout is smart for weight balance. and it looks affordable even tho expensive sounds great too looks very happy comfy track car

[@danoincali831]

Another excellent review and film work. Hope you do many many more vehicles.

[@mitch8916]

I can easily see how it would compete against the R8 and F-Type, but I think the 911 will prove to be in a different class. Porsche has created a monster which very few in the same price point can even come close to topping.

[@CollinGravesPersonal]

In the market for one of these beauties, so your review is definitely appreciated. Thanks for such great attention to detail with the nuances of the car! Cheers.

[@just_cade]

That sound is Mesmerising 😍😍

[@seattimetv]

Best in the business! Keep up the good work.

[@thainz881]

Awesome video Kyle, appreciated all your details info.

[@solomoncooper6491]

This car looks absolutely gorgeous Mercedes Benz did a great job!!

[@Instabilitygarrosh]

Awesome this is at the thermal. I have a friend who is a member there so I was able to drive around it for a day. Really good track and it will be even nicer once the personal garages are built. If you have the money to become a member and live in SoCal then I highly recommend this place.

[@kennethmartin8124]

great video saabkyle, the amg gt is a awesome car, groundbreaking

[@loverichardson9954]

One thing I would like to see is the center console knobs blacked out as well as the trim.

[@hanif12able]

that sound is addictive !

[@gabethebaeb_5881]

That thing sounds insane! Nice find Kyle! :D

[@Boomboxint473]

Still love the SLS. This car might have to grow on me. If i had the money id prefer the sls convertible in my garage, but kudos to you kyle, im a big fan of all your reviews, compared to Brian Cooley from CNET your reviews are more relaxing to watch and far more informative. You deserve your own show man, you seriously do.......its not long now

[@shax232]

The revs look so smooth!

[@tanglycoyote123]

Great job Kyle! Love your channel bro.

[@EricMaxChannel]

I love the exhaust note on the AMG GTS

[@14POLAND88]

Most beatifull interior i ever seen

[@TheSkilfingar]

I love the sound of those turbos

[@lavaughn9921]

Dont care what the other people say yourdoing a good job sir and I like seeing cars I never seen before like this one. Everybody could go on a street and see a civic and know about it but NO one is going to see this type of car or a Lamborghini

[@saabkyle04]

Lavaughn Beckford Thank you!

[@sdb87149]

Does anyone know the song that starts at 31:20? It sounds really cool but I can't remember the name

[@RallyLancer95]

You seem to be one of the more down to earth popular KZbinrs who answers as many of his viewers as possible. So will you answer me this? Will you ever do a Honda CR-X?

[@saabkyle04]

Tim Beck Thank you! I always try my best :) I have been wanting to for quite some time but it seems impossible to find one in decent shape or even find one near me :/

[@RallyLancer95]

There are a lot where I live, but I understand your problem. Most haven't been taken care of, or are extremely modified.

[@complicatedtime]

Great job. Can't wait to order one of these

[@sdb87149]

Does anyone know the songs at 31:21-57 and 33:00 to about 35:00? I tried song ID on the first after the voice over but no luck. Also the 2nd one wouldn't work because of talking

[@patwentworth129]

Are you by chance planning on doing a 2015 f-150 review? :)

[@saddamlz2305]

Tiny SLS AMG :D Oh yeah, Kyle, you are awesome! Keep up the good work man!

[@ceemichael1]

Very Nicely Done, Kyle. Thank you.

[@clark0826]

Awesome Kyle! Nice job.

[@amr19932012]

what an amazing free revving engine

[@ExpanderDJ]

I own a CLK230 Kompressor which I cherish and love, and my next step when I finish studies will be a CL5** series. Hopefully, an even further step will be the AMG GT S :)

[@bush7209]

what ever happened to the dalorian type doors

[@smashvillenashville]

Got to sit in one today...really comfortable

[@loverichardson7963]

Can you try to do a video about range rover sport 2015?

[@rombierto]

Great overview and review.

[@PauloHeaven]

Like usually an excellent review. Mercedes-Benz still produces best high-end cars in my opinion. The AMG GTS sounds very well and the performances are amazing.

[@evabir]

I love Benz and Kyle, perfect.

[@ierik]

This car needed... a wing. Great review (as always)! - What an awesome sound from that engine.

[@abdelrahmantarek6394]

Great video kyle

[@HHH763]

Hey kyle, could you take a look and make a review on the Dodge Chager Srt Hellcat.

[@M305-e1g]

Yes please!!

[@jeromesmith2579]

Your reviews are excellent. Hopefully you will be offered a TV spot and replace ANY reality show!

[@mcmh9523]

Brutal sound! Thanks for the video.

[@youngdrug5927]

Amazing video great in depth explanation :)
