2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 - Rainy Morning Commute In The BiTurbo V8 (POV Drive)

[@TedwardDrives]

What do you think of the color? How would you have your GT 63? Happy Thanksgiving! Safe Travels

[@saiーツ]

silver metallic (boring i know) tan interior and silver wheels & yellow calipers

[@beauallen272]

Immaculate ❤

[@IanTheCarGuy]

Starling blue. Black interior with CF trim. ‘Standard’ seats (find them more comfortable). Exterior enhanced night package. Black wheels with yellow seatbelts to match the brake calipers.

[@llMarvelous]

Color is fine My humble opinion is that interior was designed by schizophrenic, absolute nightmare Who is that for?

[@IanTheCarGuy]

@@llMarvelous me. Love it.

Loved how he is talking about small cars, takes a right turn and on the left like 12 SUVs are lined up in 2 lanes :D

[@TedwardDrives]

It’s wild how there’s almost no cars on the road anymore. I was driving an s580 the other day and thought, is this relevant in a society where SUV is the default?

[@reverbandchill]

⁠@@TedwardDrives how do you like the S vs. the GLS? To me, the sedan is just miles above the SUV.

13:09 quality content with underliying jokes. I love it

[@EndstyleGG]

Man that engine sound from the intro almost made me not wanna watch this, but I can't miss a Tedward video just because of that

[@TedwardDrives]

I'm a little surprised how offensive this is to the viewers in the comment section. It's not that I disagree, but more that its so common in the industry now.

[@EndstyleGG]

@@TedwardDrives It may be because I have never actually driven a car with fake audio so my brain instantly recognizes that fake, video game, simulated sound. Ignoring the tone and sound profile of the noise, it lacks the variability and that slight randomness that you get from an engine. Maybe that's just my experience since I have really only driven 15+ year old EU diesels, which sound completely different in various conditions from cold to warm. It's not like when you press the throttle, the engine just gets louder with a deeper sound, it's the mix of the injector noise to exhaust and turbo and whatever else, all of which just gets lost in this fake sound. Perhaps putting a mic in the engine bay and playing that audio (processed of course), would be a different story?

[@SM-1010]

@@TedwardDrives they’re just complaining out of ignorance. The fake noise people crying about is not actually artificial. There’s a microphone in the exhaust system that takes the actually exhaust note and channels it to the speaker

[@Nick-ue5bp]

This is a generally attractive car but I really think that peak modern Mercedes was 2015-2020. W222 S class, W213 e-class, original GT, etc. They all balanced very attractive interiors with smartly integrated tech and drivetrains that were not unnecessarily complicated (looking at you new c63).

[@Onboredatlast]

I grew up loving Mercedes (teenager in the W124 era) but now I can afford one..... there is not a single one in their current line up I want.

[@reverbandchill]

I love the W222 and W205. I think those designs are going to be vastly more appreciated with time.

[@reverbandchill]

@@Onboredatlast relatable. I have a fully optioned W205 on the 19-inch AMG night wheels and love it, but I can’t really get with any of the current lineup aside from the GT63 (which to me is too pricy to be worth it vs. other cars). W222 will likely be the last great S-class design, so I’ve considered grabbing a late model year example as an upgrade to my W205, but eh.

[@Yoann.B81]

Having a V8 and still putting fake exhaust sound should be criminal !

[@fgcpeak9591]

That's how you know someone completely lacks class and awareness

[@IanTheCarGuy]

@@Yoann.B81 it’s not fake. Settle down. They do what every supercar does, pipe the sound into the cabin.

[@casualyoutubeviwr]

13:11 Love the MKBHD reference

[@TedwardDrives]

I think it's a good lesson honestly. I don't think speed is dangerous unless it's occurring in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hopefully those mistakes resonated with people who casually drive that way regularly.

[@yhelloh]

@@TedwardDrives you told us 4 years ago in the 'how to avoid speeding tickets' video for us to pick and choose our battles. in that case, it was a clear lack of thought. lack of observation of surroundings, self awareness, etc. Since that video, I got my license and remain ticket free. Merging onto the freeway is usually a better time than trying to make a yellow light. I always imagine in my head that a deer is about to jump in front of my car, so I always give myself an out. An extra lane and time and space. As everyone saw, MKBHD didn't have any of those options.

[@DutchDukeMan]

[@thisisjay5048]

@@DutchDukeManit's not fake the sound is coming the exhaust to the speakers it only enhances the sound for the interior

[@IanTheCarGuy]

@DutchDukeMan like every other performance car. They all do this. It’s the trade off for a quiet cabin. The only one that does it physically using tubes is McLaren. Some even have a mic from the engine compartment linked to a sub woofer to make the cabin vibrate. Fake is a synthesized engine sound. Some cars even do this. But if you are a purist and this is a deal breaker for you can only go for a mid level sports car in the 100k range. Above that these tricks become common. Some run of the mill average cars even do it, BMW and VW for a start.

[@classiccarpov2311]

When you drive and I hear the rain dropplets hitting the body of the car, that hits the spot for me. Goosebumps!

[@beemer345]

One of my dream cars! I would get the 63s one. I went to visit my grandma over the weekend in the Hamptons and saw an ultra rare edition of the one you drove. A Brabus one. Sounded absolutely amazing!!

@@Erik-ce3hqno it isn’t. It’s the actual exhaust sound picked up by a mic and channeled in. Most supercars do this now. They don’t build a synthesizer connected to the engine to make sound up. It’s just an assist to add drama in a very noise insulated cabin. The alternative is to have lots of road noise in comfort. That doesn’t work in a GT.

Man, those vertically attached square-ish infotainment screens are genuinely one of the ugliest design decisions I've ever seen in cars. "Here, have an Ipad stuck to the middle of your 150 thousand dollar car"...

[@reverbandchill]

I just can’t imagine it’ll age well. I much prefer the interiors of the prior generation of MBs. I figured I’d upgrade my W205 when the new gen came out, but there’s no way I’m doing that.

[@Foremi]

I drove a Mach E the other day for the first time and the fake noise in that actually made my Bronco's fake noise more noticeable because now I can tell its exactly the same as they do in an EV. I wish the trend would die because the 2.7 makes plenty of turbo sounds to be interesting on its own. Imagine if this car made the sounds the M156 made naturally like in the w204 C63 I had for a while. Also, fake on screen hvac controls that literally just mimic real buttons is the worst solution I have seen to the problem oem's created by deciding soft buttons are somehow better.

[@carguy7627]

I totally agree about making lighter sports cars with less technology. That's exactly why I recently bought a 991.1 911 instead of a newer one because of the NA engine, the weight (3120lbs, which I still wish was lower), and minimal tech. At least vehicles like that still exist if you're prepared to either spend an absurd amount of money or buy an older car like I did. I really thought hard about a Lotus Emira but there is nowhere to get that serviced where I live (in a rural area) and I didn't want that type of hassle in my life. As of right now I don't see myself buying a sports car newer than mid-2000s as a result of the increase in weight and the obsession with added technology.

[@reverbandchill]

991 is a phenomenal car. Sort of underrated in the modern Porsche scene. I think the 991 and 981 models will be much more appreciated with time.

Crazy how bad some cars are on the american roads. Here we have annual mandatory checkups.

The cars being market in the car registrary, so if a cop car passes by and their cameras catches the licence plate and you have a 2 or a 3 you're toast.

The problem is that Mercedes is a big brand that needs to follow certain EU rules. Smaller manufacturers dont need to stick to those, that is why Pagani or Gordon Murray can still produce 12 cylinders

[@TedwardDrives]

I think you're missing the point. Big brands are chasing numbers and trying to beat their competition by saying they have a faster 0-60 or Nurburgring lap time and it's useless if the car feels synthetic. When you spend millions of dollars on an absurd car like a Pagani or Gordon Murray its job is simply to delight the driver. These big brands dont need a 12,000 RPM V12. But they do need to introduce tactility back into the vehicles.
