In my eyes, it actually looks smaller than the previous car, despite the fact that it is bigger.

[@mesterorange8181]

Ive seen a few gts irl and honestly the changes are very wellcome!!!! What worried me the most wqs the rear lights and the awd sistem (but this one you can "turn off" and put all power on the rears)

[@hfurqonpurnomo994]

Maybe because of the 2+2 seat taking more room in the car makes the hood shorter

I loved the long hood from the previous generation. The new car is gorgeous but that's my only gripe

This looks like a 911 but without being rear-engined it doesn’t look too butt heavy like the 911 (also I loooove the long bonnet this car is a beauty)

[@Disconsonance88]

@Jerome-mc7ij What about Jesus Christ the son of God?

[@peteryo]

Comparing any 2door to a 911 (within the price range, of course) is a tough sell. The rear engine in the 911 (as bad as a design it is) - gives it a very playful characteristic. It is its own animal. Unlike the 930 days when you basically had a pendulum behind your back - its so refined that you can have both compliance and playfulness. This weighs more than a M5 Comp and is far less practical. I have to admit tho -it pretty! :) My bet is that cost of ownership will suck and this will plummet like a rock in the 2nd market, like any merc before it (with some rare exceptions ofc)

[@ItumelengS]

That's what I saw as well, very porschy

[@Looocath]

I love the new trend of having eye liner/ eye shadow on the rear lights! It gives the car that slight bit of aggression and style!

The rear is interesting, I like how it has 3 individual lights sticking out. The new Lamborghini Lanzador does the same

[@ehhov]

@@madzee8139 the new AMG GT has evolved enough to lose its long hood aesthetic, as noted by others as well. And also there's been an electric SLS, just not a very good one

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

Do we even think ICE cars will be gone? I don't. I'm pretty certain we'll see a varied mix of drivetrains on the streets of our future, and combustion engines will be among them. There are just too many people who have an interest in keeping ICE cars alive, in the end we'll just switch to e-fuels and that's that. And at the same time there will be people who'll drive electric cars and will be happy with those.

[@MNGLD-do2kc]

just my opinion but I never liked the long hood. Makes it look like the beast car with the 27 liter engine. This new one fixed the proportions beautifully

[@addamussi]

From what I understood from a video presenting the car at carwow, the A pillar is 9cm forward (not sure if compared to the old gt or the new sl), to accommodate rear seats. And the 911 turbo S was clearly their benchmark too. I like the new design, but still prefer the old one with the extra long nose, love the uniqueness it gives, and it's one of my bucket list cars. The new one is beautiful too, but the bar was just so high.

[@stormrider01]

The new one looks so much like a Porsche from the side haha

[@xxzmk]

I would need to look at it 3 times from the back to distinguish whether its a Merc or a Porsche. But I mean they are neighbours😏

Pretty sure your picture of the “2016 GT” is actually the facelift, but I think the only major change was the headlights on the exterior. I was so worried about how Mercedes would butcher this update like they have basically every other car in their lineup, but I’m genuinely pleased!

[@lohithreddy6629]

yep. Exterior facelift happened in 2018. The interior he's comparing is also 2018-19. I believe in2020, steering wheel changed, NAV screen got bigger, and center console knobs were replaced with buttons.

BMW sadly doesn't even have a competitor to this. It's kind of sad that a brand that fancies itself a "sporty" brand doesn't build a single purpose built sports car or GT. All they do is make sports versions of existing normal cars. The BMW XM should've been something like this AMG GT imo.

[@FACTOMANIAC]

[@Robertkajman]

[@aaronjaggan]

[@codyfordyce7357]

The shorter hood is a huge screw up IMO. I think the Amg gt is supposed to be the replacement for the SLS. Both of these models are supposed to be the super cars in the line up and they’ve always taken cues from the sl300 gull wing. That super long hood is so important, and it’s okay to compromise on passenger capacity in a car like this. To me, it’s a huge misstep to make the roof more bubbly/round on top and make the back window really big as if accommodating for non-existent rear passengers when it’s not consistent with the purpose of the car. I always liked in the SLS how the hood was even more exaggerated than the gt, it always looks crazy when you see it. So this makes the car look more pedestrian and removes its identity in my eyes. Even if the graphics and lines are better, the greenhouse position makes me sad. Bit of a missed opportunity. Threw their halo poster car in the standard sports car bin. No longer an aspirational thing when it looks so typical like this.

[@MNGLD-do2kc]

never liked the long hood on the amg gt anyway. It made it look like some cartoon car

[@ComedyPlug2]

My only problems are the overly angled and weak headlights. Especially the dotted design ruins it for me

[@iyadkamhiyeh527]

[@DenzilPeters]

First time in my life I like the design of the AMG GT. Something about that rear end and probably also the heavy Porsche influence.

[@azymefwan2488]

Mercedes AMG 911 GT SL 63

[@RedPanda555]

The original design had some very minor proportion issues (rear end dips slightly too low in profile view) but this new one is completely flawless ❤

[@RedPanda555]

@Jerome-mc7ij If Allah is the all powerful god, why does he need to resort to the youtube comments section to promote himself? 😂😂😂

[@cityboy_sj]

I think the front end was a good update from the last gen and overall it looks great. I do think it looks a lot like a 911 with the side and rear profiles, and though I do prefer the old gen's timeless design, I cant lie, this still surprisingly looks great.

[@xzraiderzx308]

Yeah, my feelings as well. I prefer the timeless proportions/ design even of the 2014 model, but this still looks incredible despite the fundamental differences

[@cityboy_sj]

@Jerome-mc7ij Hey bud, I believe in Jesus Christ

[@BvDyck101]

Please do a video, updating an SLK with GT styling and graphics, it already has the proportions.

[@thebagnechannel3183]

This looks like a 911 from a rear 3/4 view. I still like it, perhaps even more so than the 911.

[@albundy5992]

One of the most beautiful cars in the last 5 years.

[@odyn1c]

Design aside, but technically this car is a downgrade compared to its predecessor. - DCT -> Converter Transmission - 1700 -> 1950kg - Ditched Trans-Axle - Engine moved further to/ over the front-axle - „Normalised“ the design and proportions which lets it lose its uniqueness compared to its competitors. Objectively it will be a great car for sure. And I can understand that they did this to reach a broader range of customers. But in terms of a worthy predecessor to an AMG GT it just doesn’t work.

[@fenrirslip]

When it comes to the proportions of the new AMG GT, they did increase the size of the car ever so slightly to further maximize the practicality. The wheelbase has been extended and the cabin has also been increased to create more headroom for the driver and passenger as well as making the AMG GT a 2+2 instead of a two-seater like the first gen GT. I also prefer the rear of the new AMG GT. This is not to say that I think the rear end of the first-gen GT was bad but from certain angles, especially from a straight rear view, it looked as if it was squished and bulbous and didn't have room to breathe. This was especially apparent on the Roadster variants of the AMG GT and less so on the Coupes. Although, the GT-R Roadster doesn't look as offputting due to the rear wing adding some for of visual height to the rear-end.

[@dreamchaser1325]

Those big ass screens they have now is just wild looking

[@iyadkamhiyeh527]

They put them in every car now because it's cheaper than designing and engineering buttons.

[@lindokuhlechrismnisi3260]

It looks like a mix of the BMW Z4 & a Porsche 911. Still beautiful.

[@redrumcoke2363]

11:18 Let me first say, that I really like it. Secondly, it really does have a very 911 overall shape, with a front that is obviously longer, to house the engine. If you were to push in the front, and put a 911 fascia on it, and lower the rear some, while giving it a similarly 911 treatment... Yep. It'd be pretty close. Still, I love the new design. Porsche does make some very light-looking vehicles, with their curvy shoulderlines. This is doing the same. Personally, the shorter/lower nose, making it look less like a throwback to the Duesengerg-era, being more athletic, is really welcome! That smooth, curvey (albiet, "Porsche-esk") shoulderline, combined with the low nose, is the real standout winner for me.

[@jonathanng138]

Absolutely love the looks of the car the problem is it doesn't seem to be so original as it just looks like a Porche from the side profile and I wished they kept the length of the hood as that was pretty original for an AMG GT

[@viv22013]

Hi dude, like your technical analysis, would it be possible if you did the zenvo aurora models at some point?

[@PRS-dk4mz]

Excellent design analysis, as always! Personally, I do prefer the first generation design with the more pronounced front hood length. I don’t know why Mercedes inserted the unusable rear seats to compete with the 911’s, also unusable rear seats, thereby loosing a bit of its unique long hood proportions. I feel like the AMG GT was a great alternative to the 911, but now they’re both moving progressively closer to the middle.

[@mofazzulhussainmondal]

Idk it's just me or what, the headlamp looks too beautiful to be a Mercedes GT. Earlier Merc GTs were angry looking, this one looks tamed. And the headlights somehow remind me of BMW Z4

[@chiefdenis]

Yup, mercedes took inspiration from all over germany, z4 style headlamps, 911 silhouette, 911 rear end, 911 seat config, 911 drive config, it's basically a front mid engined porsche😂

[@mofazzulhussainmondal]

Exactly, previous one had its long bonnet which was so iconic. Now it seems it is suffering from a mid life crisis. It is a beautiful car, but not quite merc GT

The front end is heavily adapted from the GT Black Series, that gives the model line continuity as the last of the old generation to bridge the design language into the new generation.

Someone may have already mentioned this, but the angle of the screen could have been to ameliorate the awkward ignition button. Apparently, it’s slightly difficult to get one’s hand between the steering wheel and the screen to turn the car on. With that said, I’d rather have the awkward UI than the wonky placement. Adore this car and definitely “need” one!!

PPL rag on that car because on paper its not "fast" if your a fast driver like me its a fast ass car. I street race in it all the time and have fun taking down scat packs, gts, ss, base 911, f type, civic type r, wrx, golf r I'm sure i missed a few. You can make 2 gen ago ZO6's sweat snap a GTR's neck off guard. I mean yea it wont tackle a 911S but even the big dogs have a hard time hooking up so you can spank red eyes on the right tarmac for a split second until they connect which might give you all you need in a street race.

Thanks to the video about thousands gorgeous piece of automotive art.

Looks that they completely took the SL’s interior to the GT, while making bigger changes to the exterior. I expect them to have the same wheelbase and lots under the surface. But do they use identical body parts? (Door panels, engine hood, windows?) Is the inner piece of the grill without the extension perhaps identical to that used in the SL?
