[@bosshunterman]

***** ...So it can't beat a 911, and it's an "amgay gt", just because you prefer a different car...You need help kid, seriously, I mean, you are wandering around KZbin 24/7, just for the sheer purpose of spreading hate on every single Mercedes-related video, creating fake accounts to thumb up, support, and showcase your shittalking....Go see a psychiatrist.

I find myself repeatedly watching Chris's videos in the hope that my contribution to the view count will in some way help him justify continuing to make them. My lunch time cup of coffee is just not the same without Chris chuckling away fully sideways in something worth more than my house. I'm very pleased he decided to start his own channel.

[@PorscheSweden]

This is just what the world needs! Not these super expensive cars with large dimensions and a million horsepowers, and of course we need more of Chris Harris! I don't care if it's up there with the 911 because in my opinion only a 911 can beat another 911. The way a 911 makes you feel cannot be explained, the way it drives it all just comes together so well. The AMG GT-S is anyhow a great release from Mercedes, finally we get something in the right marketplace and not these 200,000£+ cars that you'll never come close to.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Uh, it's 120,000 pounds just to start - and it's a Mercedes so by the time you have optioned it up it'll be pushing 150,000 pounds or more... I love it, but as a high middle income earner, it's way into dream territory for me - in a few years when it's depreciated it'll be more in my budget range - but it's a Mercedes, so in a few years it'll be falling apart and costing tens of thousands a year just to keep running properly.

[@rousseau327]

Matthew Sharpe I've owned a 2003 E320 with about 265,000 miles when I sold it. The car was bought with 120,000 miles. Had its issues, but for a car in such a condition, it was quite trouble free. A 3-4 year old Mercedes with less than 30,000 miles shouldn't be a problem if you take the proper pre-purchase precautions.

[@Cartel893]

Matthew Sharpe Falling apart? Yes told it my dad, his last Mercedes has driven 630.000 km without a single engine failure. Still same gearbox, same clutch. I've driven one up to 250k. So falling apart is absolutely nonsense.

[@Cartel893]

After years, still one of the best reviews that I've ever seen in my life. You've made history in car journalism Chris Harris 🙌🏾

[@MrGaryGG48]

I think Chris set that bar several years ago; now it's "I, II, III, IV, V...etc." Chris can state more clarifying description while sliding this Mercedes sideways through the Laguna Cork-Screw, without missing a beat, than any other in this field can do on a straight road!!! ;^)

[@naveedishaq1805]

Having owned a 911 which admittedly is a better drivers car and sticks to the road like superglue! But…… My 2015 amg gts is a fucking monster and makes you feel something that a 911 can’t replicate. It’s brutal and the looks especially with the facelift front grill it really is a handsome car! You will not see many of these on the road and prior to buying mine I only ever saw around 5 in my life! It’s definitely an amazing car and you can daily drive it unlike those fancy cars like Ferrari which are not built to be driven often as they are too fragile.

[@kpwhitton]

Good on you Mr. Harris for telling Drive to get stuffed, and create your own free channel. You were the only reason I watched Drive, and it's great that you've now left them, so I no longer have a reason to watch drive, but to enjoy this channel for free, much respect!

[@trustgtr33]

best motoring journalist to date, love your style and honest reviews. And a great driver too, keep it up...i'm a fan..cheers

[@digimon916]

this car is breathtaking in person. i just saw one 3 days ago and actually moved it but only 10ft. i work valet and as i ran back to our lane after parking a car i was struck with awe. i thought "what mercedes is this!? this thing is a beast in a suit. looks like it embodies the racing spirit of the 70s (jag e type, toyota 2000gt, 70s ferraris and the old fort gt came to mind ) packed with the guns of an autobot" lol

[@AllegedlySpiffy]

You'll never be uncertain how a Brit feels about something. "I DO like this circuit, oh I DO like this circuit - and I LIKE this car."

[@gullyrounere]

Being mainly a biker, I have to say imo this car looks simply wonderful. I love it when Chris details all the components that make up what you feel on the road. Good job

[@sameerjafri7]

I just got a gt s, and this video was responsible for making me want one.

[@Dresoils]

Jesus I'm glad this video is back, easily my favourite video of any automotive journalist on KZbin. I love the techy expose' bits Chris, keep it up.

[@DC8Super72]

Just picked up a used 2016 GT-S! I buy cars based on this mans opinion! This video drove me to the GT-S. Thank you Chris Harris.

[@hdidane00]

This car in on my wish list for sure.

[@FreakishPower]

I went from a 2009 997.1 911 Turbo to the AMG GTS. Both were altered by Renntech (doing 600hp now). The AMG is so much more fun due to the sounds it makes - V8 woohoo. Both are astonishing cars - can chew up highway like you wouldn't believe. The Porsche has 10x the traction (2WD vs AWD + rear engine) - which s good or bad depending on your point of view.

[@dragospahontu]

Mercedes have been consistent with AMG cars

[@daNeterAUsaru999]

There's nothing like doing something that you really love. I've loved cars for as long as I can remember. I wish that I could travel around the world and review the exotics like you do. So far here on KZbin your show is the best. Keep up the great episodes Chris. Cheers....

[@kartoffelaut0]

I see a lot of hating on the looks of the AMG GT. Give it time to grow on you and it looks seriously astonishing. A car that looks great at first sight is something you get tired of real quick. Its like a song you've just found and yet already loves, that sounds like shit after a short while.

[@rousseau327]

The 911 looked good 50 years ago, still looks good now. So does the Range Rover. And Aston Martins. Not saying the AMG GT looks bad, I actually quite like it.

[@MarcoTav18]

True that. I didn't quite like it when it was unveiled but now I like it a lot (to the point that it is, to me, one of the most beautiful cars out there now!)

[@kartoffelaut0]

ewt415 I was not referring to the the porsche 911. But since were on that path.. I don't really think the porsche 356, which the 911's design comes from, nor the 911 itself was that outstanding when first introduced, considering it looks like a flattened out VW beetle.

[@rousseau327]

kartoffelaut0 Were you alive when it was introduced? It's kind of pointless to say that if you weren't there to experience it yourself.

[@kartoffelaut0]

ewt415 Considering the 356 first was produced 10 years after the Beetle i don't find it pointless to say. The Porsche's design couldn't have been that revolutionary.

[@BENZ007]

Beautiful video, great job.

[@michaelfletcher2287]

Older Chris Harris videos were so good; so much genuine enthusiasm....too bad Top Gear seems to have changed that.

[@mgfmgtf]

Can´t wait to see the first 911 vs GT-S comparison. Love Porsche´s, but i think AMG has nailed it with this stunning car. Awesome review as always, Chis!

[@bobanppvc]

[@bobanppvc]

i didnt delete anything,and point of story is that bmw is better car lol

[@EvoPower2010]

***** Not anymore lmfao

[@アマ-p2l]

***** nah man. BMW *used* to make better cars than Benz. (by better I mean more driver and performance oriented) Not anymore though. And Benz is producing some utter garbage like the A45 nowadays too. Only a few labels keeping it where it's supposed to be today.

[@MyRealNameIs]

Mercedes seems to be on a role lately. Their new S-class and C-class are great and this AMG GTS looks gorgeous and also is fine peace of machinery. That 4.0 biturbo engine sounds fantastic, Mercedes leads to way again when it comes to producing the best. Can't wait to one day own my own Benz I just love the brand. Great piece Chris love that you have started your own channel. I''m sure that by the end of 2015 you will have close to 100.000 subscribers.

[@bosshunterman]

***** Good thing that BMW engines are all still make powerful, and most importantly, VERY NATURAL sounds, right Uzzy? :)

[@EvoPower2010]

***** At least the 4L sounds like a V8, M5s 4.4 just sounds like a 3 cylinder with a huge turbo lol F10s sound pathetic

[@hitman59100]

***** Of course a naturaly aspirated like the old amg v8 sounds better , but is the same problem with bmw(in fact is worse with Bmw). The old bmw NA sounds better than their new turbo charged engines as well. But the difference between Mercedes and Bmw, is mercedes can keep fabulous sounds in their turbocharged engines without piping synthesized sounds through the speakers like bmw.And the sound at the exhaust of the turbocharged bmw are not good. Mercedes keep very good exhaust note compare to Bmw. So when you said:"new amg engines sound like dogshit. old ones are better. " you should go compare the previous Bmw NA engines sound ,with the new turbocharged bmw and you will hear the enormous difference. Now do the same thing by comparing the Mercedes NA v8 with the new turbocharged v8 5.5 liter and hear the difference... As you will hear the difference is not so much worse than the difference with the old bmw compared with the new ones. And it's funny how often in your comments you said the bmw m5 f10 with rpi gtm exhaust sound fabulous ( I agree it sound good but not as nearly good at the older one if i play the same game like you) and you say the amg gt with it's 4.0 v8 sound shit but this 4.0 v8 is with stock exhaust , so go hear the bmw m5 f10 with stock exhaust and you will hear how it's sound awful! thousand times worse ! At least this new v8 4.0 sound ok with stock exhaust and we can not say the same thing for the bmw M5 f10. Even Chris say in this video than Mercedes are the first one who sucess to make good sound with turbocharged engines, and it's not what we hear from the journalists about the new turbocharged bmw like the bmw m5 and m3 (it's the contrary we hear).

[@hitman59100]

***** But you you criticize an engine with stock exhaust (this 4.0 v8 in this video have stock exhaust) so why you talking about an aftermarket exhaust like the rpi gtm when you criticize an engine with stock exhaust. To be fair instead of say "listen to a RPI GTM F10 M5 dumbshit" you should say "listen to a stock bmw m5 f10". And if we hear a stock Bmw m5 f10 , we laugh so hard because it sound like shit.

[@cost400000for12sec]

***** "but amg use eisemann exhausts anyway for all AMG models dumbass" 1. there is no such company called "eisemann" 2. Where did you gather this bullshit from? :D AMG has no official exhaust supplier, they make their exhaust systems themselves...

[@edwardrichardson8254]

The "end of turbo lag" is the simple secret this car shares w/ the BMW: It's undersquare (83x92mm). Thus the low-down grunt to supply torque while the turbos spool up, you're not in your typical oversquare hummingbird having to wait for the high revs. BMW's undersquare S54B32 (in the M3s and the roadsters) held the world record for torque-per-litre production engines for years until Ferrari took it w/ the 458. Why you see crazy KZbin videos of M3s running insane 1/4 miles w/ bolt-on turbo kits.

[@pascalmpower7944]

Totally agree with the hydraulic steering part. I hate electronic steering feel. It's too light. And not sure if the stability control is slowing the car down or not coz the engine placement of the GT is pretty much in front of the front axle plus a short wheelbase.

[@pascalmpower7944]

Yes BMW is pretty good at balancing. The engine and transmission placement are sooo good. AMG and Audi are good tho. They're powerful and AWD!

[@jogaplayer640]

[@aaronjones8770]

***** The only thing BMW did first was make the shittiest cars ever made

[@aaronjones8770]

***** A BMW fanboy accusing other people of knowing nothing about cars. That's pretty hilarious. Back in the days of the E39 and E46, BMW's were untouchable and the fact that rivals from both German and foreign rivals are now easily competing and even surpassing BMW in a lot of areas speaks volumes. BMW are far too busy pandering to the watered-down tastes of the Chinese these days but who can blame them, that market's huge! The fact that a brown person like yourself even knows how to use a computer is impressive. Your parents must be very proud, that is if they haven't already died from an easily preventable disease of course...

You almost make it sound like that's a bad thing.

[@theenhancer]

ftpaddict Not at all, but considering the 928 was made to replace the 911, finding another car with a 4ish liter front-mid mounted V8, with rear wheel drive and a rear mounted gearbox that looks like a 928 is too much of a coincidence not to be amusing.

[@JMaherWRX]

[@mariuszanfir2298]

For as long as Porsche keeps the engine "at the wrong end" on the 911, nothing will touch it. Even if better cars will be made or have been made, the 911 will still be dominant. And not because its layout gives it superior dynamics, but because it gives it different dynamics. There's no other sports car in the world with the engine in the back, there's no other car that feels so different than anything else. In a blind folded test (let's asume you would do such a test) you would never be mistaken in recognizing a 911, while you could be with other cars. What I'm saying is that you never really "take on" the 911, you just say it as a marketing stunt, so people know you're serious about something :).

[@xboy4331]

Only sports car with the engine in the back?? The Lamborghini Aventador, Huracan Diablo, Countach and Gallardo, Ferrari 458, LaFerrari, F430, F50 and F40, Audi R8, Bugatti Veyron, Ford GT, Ariel Atom, Lotus Exige and Elise, and many, many more all have the engine in the back. I really don't get what you're on about.

[@mariuszanfir2298]

Trygve Germo All those cars have the engine positioned centrally. Yeah, at the back of the driver, but not "hanging" behind the rear axle like the 911. It has a lot of more weight on the rear axle than most of the cars.

[@xboy4331]

Oohhh!!! I thought you were saying mounted behind the driver, my bad!! Cheers mate

[@quackman]

I love pretty much any car videos..... but these days yours are still the best. Awesome driving with this interesting car!

[@g1981c]

this car and 911 both have their cons and pros. this AMG has better weight distribution and hydraulic steering but 911 has AWD and rear seats. but i think for most people buying these cars image will be the deciding factor. in terms of image the 911 is iconic but also somewhat played out. this AMG is unique but also nobody knows what it is. i think it would be really hard to decide between the two. both are great cars and so is the Audi R8 the McLaren 570, the Cayman GT4, the Corvette the GT-R ... too many good cars out there !

[@AntoniusTyas]

+g1981c About the AWD, it depends on which 911 you're talking about. I guess the AMG GT S would be closer to 911 Carrera GTS with RWD, performance-wise. Yes, AMG GT has more power but 911 GTS is lighter so it was kinda draw for both IMO

[@g1981c]

+Antonius Tyaswidyono there is a 911 GT2 RS which is 4 liter turbo Rear WD with 620 hp. it was about $200,000 and it's the closest to AMG GT S IMO, but for twice the price.

[@AntoniusTyas]

+g1981c 997 GT2 RS has a 3.6-litre twin turbo flat 6 with 620bhp, and it's out of production already since 2011. It's closest rival would be AMG SLS Black... Current closest rival (power-wise) is 991 Turbo. Costs roughly the same, has roughly same power output but only AWD and had shedloads more torque.

[@g1981c]

+Antonius Tyaswidyono yes you are right it's 3.6 liter. i mixed it up with gt3 rs.

[@nathansaxonracing]

That first power slide in the final hairpin was phenomenal.

[@kaiwenli3432]

But... But..But I like the SLS more.. specially the Gull Wing Doors. it looks bigger more like a GT car, a fantastic combination of GT and Supercar. The New rear tail lights looked too much like the S-Coupe, it fits well on the S-coupe but if you put it on the GT, the arse is just ugly. Still love the old SLS tho despite the gearbox problems.

[@mattromanes]

The SLS was always meant to be a GT. The GT is meant to be a sports car.

[@kaiwenli3432]

Matt Lawrence Romanes Which is gay

[@kaiwenli3432]

Matt Lawrence Romanes I mean the GT's interior looks amazing. but the exterior looked too much like 911 or F-type..which is not bad but too popular. and the engine, I understand how 4.0T is more eco, save more fuel, and everything but I miss the 6.2 so much. The first sport car I drove in my life was the C63..its the base version. it weights around 4K lbs but still pulls like hell. I have never experienced that in M3 or the new Mustang GT..its just...the power makes you laugh.

[@mattromanes]

Kevin Li It looks nothing like the other two. The 911 looks like a Beetle with a spoiler, and the F-Type, well it's gorgeous. The C63 ain't a sports car. It's a sedan. Its the performance version of the C-Class.

[@kaiwenli3432]

Matt Lawrence Romanes well I drove the Coupe version ...I mean their roof line is just .weird

[@meauxsoney1]

Yes...my boy back. This will be the NEW best car channel on youtube.

[@JakeTompalski95]

Hopefully the W205 C63 is just as good as the AMG GT. If it is then I honestly can't wait until mine arrives in May. P.S Amazing review Chris!

[@loicmartel656]

LOLLL no it wont, it will be very boring and slow. sorry. should have bought an old c63 AMG

[@JakeTompalski95]

Loïc Martel Did you practice being a troll before posting that comment?

[@loicmartel656]

It's a fact. Sorry, face it.

[@loicmartel656]

Stop trying to brag about your new merc, it's lame.

[@rousseau327]

To be fair, you really should have bought the W204 with that kind of money. Unless you want the better fuel economy and the newer designs and technology, the W204 has the potential to become a Mercedes classic with that engine and chassis. I'm sure the W205 would still be awesome though.

[@SergeantMoetz]

It's amazing how two journalists (Chris and Neil) produce better car videos than other KZbin car channels or even TV crews with a much bigger budget and way more manpower. Stay the way you are Chris (and Neil)!

[@zvonimirlevacic9009]

R.I.P. /drive

[@Dylan6611]

Hold the phone, Chris Harris had his own channel and I'm just finding out about it now?! Today is a good day.

[@BluWarta92]

This new SLS doesn't just have the charm and timeless style of the old one ... It just doesn't create any impact... They even ditched those doors. I would buy the old one.

[@rousseau327]

Maybe because this isn't meant to be a "new SLS". By doing this, the SLS suddenly became a one model production car that may become a classic like the 300SL Gullwing

[@BluWarta92]

ewt415 Yeah, you could be right. I just miss SLS. It had something ... Just that something. It was first Mercedes to excite me after SLR McLaren 722..

[@Tigerkotten021]

One of the best motorjournalists today! Your doing a great work Chris, keep it up!

[@jeffpuha8187]

Are some of you actually sending Chris Harris money? Are you crazy? The guy works for Hearst Magazines, the company that owns Road & Track and Car and Driver! Haven't you seen his features recently on their web sites? Why don't you donate that money to a REAL charity or worthy cause and help those who are sick and/or destitute?

[@jeffpuha8187]

***** Nice language. Typical of today's women. Yup, it's your money and you're certainly entitled to spend it any way you want to. I was just pointing out that Harris makes a good living and is really quite cheeky, whining about the cost of making videos and asking people to donate to him. If you're feeling particularly magnanimous, you could donate to Donald Trump or Warren Buffet while you're at it. You know it costs a lot of money to run financial empires.

[@mattborman5780]

I understand what you're saying. He's established in this game and already makes good money. That said I want him to keep doing this, and I don't expect him to run a charity and produce these videos with his own money, for my enjoyment. I'm in favor of being able to give someone money for a product I really value. I actually appreciate the opportunity to give my money directly to the main producer of the video so he can do more of what viewers want, without the filtering of Hearst magazine and others or concern for sponsors, etc. He's trying a different revenue stream, one that allows him more independence. Whether Chris has money or is 'grassroots' is irrelevant to me - there are costs associated with doing this type of video independently, and as a happy viewer, I'm happy to contribute. It's clear that Chris loves doing this, and I'm trusting that my contribution will help enable him to keep bringing more content. Keep it up Chris!

[@colejones6312]

I agree with you jeff. It makes me sick but angry when they admit that they'd rather donate to a wealthy man that is going to continue what he enjoys doing anyway. What do you viewers think? If you i don't donate then he won't update you with reviews? It's his occupation! He's not going to stop if you don't donate. And you still say you think he's more worthy than charity. Probably because half of the comments here belong to egnostics. Coming from a catholic this is sickening!

[@jeffpuha8187]

Cole Jones You're right, Cole. The world's ethics and morals are twisted by Satan and all the lost souls who worship him, whether they realize it or not. There are so many who need the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thanks for the support. I hope you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Christmas.

[@colejones6312]

You to jeff, merry Christmas:) those words will catch use with you Elizabeth. You can't change a Catholics mind about God. I never realised how many people didn't believe in God for a while because of how i raised as a catholic. There are so many people like you. I am not to judge because it is a sin so I'm not going to say anymore.

[@nhull85]

By far my favorite new car channel. Thank you chris!

[@MiniJCW22]

I definitely appreciate this new venture by Mercedes and adore the exhaust, but as my avatar may allude, it just doesn't do quite enough to surpass the 911 for me. That said, I can see why this could be more appealing.

[@timonxDlol]

I like porsches and Mercs. I really have to say that i love the AMG GT .. at first I thought it looks boring and a little like a porsche, but seriously this thing looks great and not a little like a porsche if you take a look at it in real life. But i don´t think that this beats a 911 turbo s.. Let´s wait for the Nübrugringtime of the GT :)

[@bobanppvc]

***** ugly fuzzyy is that you :)))

[@bobanppvc]

***** Mercedes will never make good sport cars as Porsche...And price of this merc is too high

[@mattromanes]

Montenegro Montenegrin Nor Porsche will make good sports cars as Ferrari can

[@javiermedina7]

Just found the channel! Back to the old format! Thank you for the free quality content.

[@CarsPassion]

GREAT : "Smaller and less funny than Clarkson - but I can drive okay!"

[@DCTag]

Chris. You're amazing. Can't believe you were sitting in the table next to me at Le Mans Cafe last year. Fan boy moment.

[@patrickantar3056]

More appealing than a 911? hmm, not so sure for me.

[@skljom]

can't argue about the personal taste. For me the back end of this mercedes is so fucking good and amazing. I just love it but each their own man.

[@patrickantar3056]

True that. I love it too, but without that small spoiler. I don't know, I feel like the 911 is more distilled, more focused.

[@josetaveira7094]

man your driving is stunning... just sublime

[@sasajungic89]

The Amg makes BMW M cars sound like sh-t. M5 just makes a noise. Not a pleasant noise just some noise. And from what I can hear M3 and M4 sound even more fake. This on the other hand is just fantastic

[@davidoh1868]

cesar malabrigo mujica He's here by error, he was looking for the Chris Harris knitting channel

[@markobjelanovic5444]

Why? I want him to go fast around a track.

[@benfreedman3733]

I dont think anyone agrees with you.

[@darrenjenkins6300]

Can we have more of Chris Harris doing this kind of stuff! Automotive journalism perfection in my eyes.

[@modsandhacks11]

It is a sad time for the car industry in my opinion. The days of naturally aspirated power are soon to be gone. Just look at BMW, Mercedes and Audi they are all going to twin turbo lower displacement engine setups in their sports cars. Its sad to think that bmw will never make the amazing 5.0 v10 in their m5, Mercedes will most likely never use the 6.3 v8 in any of their cars, Bmw ditched the high revving N/A v8 for a twin turbo six cylinder. Not to mention that manual gearboxes are becoming more and more out of the picture (I'm happy bmw still has a manual gearbox in the f8x m3/4 though). I get that its the way of the future and we have to keep with technological improvements. But its like your not even connected to the car anymore. Mercedes is still insane with the biturbo v12 and the 5.5 biturbo v8 and audi still has the N/A v8 in the rs5 but i don't know how long that will last. in my opinion Bmw is going downhill really really quick. There cars don't make noise anymore (literally). All there new vehicles have engine noise going through the speakers so the people think the car is louder than it really is. They went from a screaming v10 to a small twin turbo v8 in the m5 and went from a perfect high revving v8 in the m3 to a very odd sounding 6 cylinder in the m3/4. The new cars are nicer in a lot of ways but they just don't carry on the many precedents that the bmw "m" division set and what made the cars so successful. Just look at the new Chevrolet camaro z28 that car is fantastic (look at chris's gt3 vs z28 video) and the reason that car is so good is because it is a drivers car. It has a 7.0 liter N/A v8 with the only transmission option being the manual transmission and obviously it has minimal electronics in the car. look at lamborghini and ferrari (obviously the hyper-cars use hybrid) but their "normal" cars don't and thats why they are amazing and their $250,000 at the very low end of the spectrum.

[@kyawzinthant1598]

We still have Ferrari that uses N/A engine, respect

[@umaralikha]

***** BMW doesn't have a car which can compete with the S Class in the luxury segment. They can't do that unless they wish to ruin Rolls Royce. BMW also need to make cars to compete with the SLS Black and Audi R8. I don't see Mercedes or VW bowing down to BMW or Tesla, owning companies including VW, Audi, Bentley, Porsche, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat e.t.c.

[@IlirShkurti]

Wow, this is the best video I have seen yet on this car... kudos to both the reviewer and videographer!!
