NEW AMG GT PRO! Upgrade from My GT Black Series?

[@FH_Nexus]

Tim, if I was in your shoes I would keep that GT Black Series. You seem to really enjoy it and have done thousands and thousands of kilometres and most likely many more. It’s a great car! With loads of memories and many adventures!

[@Shmee150]

The GT Black Series is staying for the long haul; it's far too personal and we need to get it to 100,000 miles!

[@Ngarepairercar1990]

​@@Shmee150 hello

[@chelsea-atp4470]

I would never get rid of the black series, but if there is a way to add the new one some other way, I would definitely do it

[@bradenmchenry995]

@@KeepTheGodwhat on this earth are you talking about. It’s 800 pounds heavier. It’s 3 inches taller and 7 inches longer. And somehow they reduced the dash to axle ratio and make it look like an SL

[@justinkrizenesky]

@@KeepTheGod I have indeed. The angles on the Black Series are amazing, the new GT looks identical to the convertible. Beautiful car, but not as breathtaking as the GT Black.

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Tbf the Black Series doesn't sound fantastic stock either. At least with all the regulation filters. Personally this new AMG GT era is not worth it unless you have a family and need the extra practicality for that, I would rather have a 911 GTS or a Vantage than any new gen AMG GT.

[@jeremyjansen1932]

That would be the BIGGEST DOWNGRADE EVER

[@deepwebintel]

AMG lost its charm when they made the AMG GT into a 911 proportioned AWD 2+2 instead of keeping the long nosed viper esk proportions of the previous gen. If you ask me the older one looks newer & will historically be the more favorable model, especially when it has less screens

[@sjeverton]

Feels like alot of people will be looking at brands and picking up a cooler looking cheaper previous Gen model

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

​@@gazzarafalemozzy4766 Well the problem now is regulation and also customer demand, regulations hurt noise and customer demand for comfort also hurts sound. This is the alternative or you just have a quieter car, unless you mod it.

[@MontyPiper]

the piped in engine noise sounds strange on camera.

[@ThisIsNotMyYouTubeHandle]

it sounds like it's burbling on acceleration and would be pretty annoying if that's what it's doing

[@bradenmchenry995]

The new amg gt isn’t even a successor to your car. It’s a big heavy 2+2 that has more in common with the SL.

[@JakeP-bb5hh]

The fact yours is near 9 years old and looks so futuristic still is crazy! If I was told it was made today I’d believe it. If I was told it was what it’s going to be in 5 years I’d believe it too! Such a timeless car!

[@Ty2late]

Side view gives 911 vibes in a good way, overall the car looks pretty damn good from all angles

[@richardthelionheart5594]

Exactly what I thought when I saw it on the road from the side. But more like Porsche 4 doors / Panamara

[@DarkBlue81]

Hey Tim, I wouldn't do it either, as many others have already commented here. That would only be a short-term gain and you will realize later what you will miss from the predecessor

[@shaikymandel7593]

From what I’ve heard, the new AMG GT coupe is more grand tourer and didn’t design the chassis as much for the track as the previous model and that’s a reason enough for me to keep the old one as it’s going to be unique and go up in price for sure as well.

[@chrisnichols0669]

I think it’s got your name on it Tim😉😀 looks a really nice car amazing how it has evolved with the engineering that goes into it

[@muke001]

Ascari is such a cool track; I'm enjoying you lapping it more than the car, honestly. That being said, the new GT Pro is really complemented by an undulating, twisty track like this since it doesn't demand your constant attention while still doing everything you ask it to do.

[@vidurshaansureshkumar3650]

I’ve seen the gtr roadster in Sri Lanka and it’s so stunning love the spec and in garage with a 488 spider and a Svj roadster and a rolls Royce and a brabus g wagon 4x4 and a Camaro such honour to see your car in a country I live in

Your videos for your GT 63 review was amazing, wish there was shifting indicator sound for the Nissan GT-R (R35) and a GT 63 Black Series.

You need the collectors edition but definitely keep the Black Series because it should end up in a museum owned by Shmee 😅

Meh, Like having a collectors edition of a C300. Its a non remarkable fast car. Slipping a 1 of 200 plate on it is putting lipstick on a pig.

Hey Shmee 😊 Been a subscriber for over a year now!

Hi there

[@Fred-ck1gh]

Would AMG answer the question, how much engine sound they have added trough speakers in the coupe compared to just the pure engine sound without any amplification? Wonder how quiet it would be?

[@kwanelemthobisi5379]

It's a pity doesn't have heads up display or it's an extra?

[@sputnikalgrim]

It sure looks great, the updated design language is spot on

[@dangoertz8030]

Seems like a lot of sound coming in from the speakers not much on the outside. May need an exhaust.

[@richardthelionheart5594]

Too much sound inside !!!

[@Kieran_OPC]

Whats funny is my favorite of the limited editions of the previous generation was the Pro. No idea why but of the GTR Roadster, Pro and Black Series id pick the Pro every time! Maybe i need to drive them but i just love the subtle aero upgrade of the regulat GTR

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

Ok. I LIKE it! The design looks more squat and cohesive than the old model. Those seats could be useful too 👍🏻

[@SeanEvo22]

I love Mercedes as a brand and the heritage it has but I sadly agree with a lot of the other comments this just seems a gimmicky and fussy. I do think though that them rims (in black) on your black series would look amazing and freshen up your current motor. 👍. Great video and content though as always Shmee. All the best.

[@iam_nick]

So the PRO MAX coming next? I want the 1TB model

[@paulwalker9283]

Do people actually like the fake sound coming through the speakers or can you switch it off like

[@Shmee150]

No switching off

You can code it out I believe, but then you would have no noise at all

My first car may be a modern day VW crossover however I don’t want to ever give it up. I’ve driven it all around Western Europe and as of writing this comment it’s on its second trip to Germany. Shmee that AMG Black Series is loved by us and you and I personally think it should stay.

Sorry, but that is honestly a downgrade from the black series. You know it well. 99% of AMG GT owners do NOT want rear seats and a much heavier car. No. Car was very usable as it was before this generation. Wlile we are at it, less electronics would be great.

Some clearly did want back seats, if they didn't, they wouldn't be there. Also, you can delete the rear seats for this model. In fact, as standard they come without rear seats apparently.
