I will never understand why a 400 dollar ipad looks better and works more fluently than the infotainment of a 200k car

[@charliesingh7919]

I wonder

[@nikhilgiridharan6400]

Probably because the Ipad only has to deal with a small number of inputs . while the cars need to work with the electronics of the entire car with the limited capacity they have .

[@ieditedmyname289]

Because cars usually have industrial grade processors and they have lifespan of 15+ years. Most iPad A series chips wont have drivers available for them within 8-10 years. Not to mention how temperature sensitive those iPads are. Leave you iPad on the dash of your car in a hot summer day, it will 100% give you a heat warning and will stop working. 99% of infotainments wont do that.

[@philenan]

I have the same infotainment system in my SL and I have to say it works great. Very smooth to use, intuitive controls. One can certainly debate the looks, but from a functionality standpoint I've never had one in a car that worked better.

[@NO3V]

As a german i have to say a word to the beer metaphore at the start. Even tough everyone says „Stein“ it specificly discribes a beer glas oder beer mug (made out of stone-> in german Stein) with a lid and often styled with animals or other drawings. The size of the mug doesnt matter. What you showed was a „Maßkrug“ which is commonly used in Schwabia or Bavaria on accasions like the Oktoberfest or if your real thirsty and has to exactly 1 liter.

[@eastbaystreet1242]

I think Merc are saying "trust us to shift faster than you can". As a former racer I'm pretty good at quick shifts, but in this car (I have one) I find that it is much faster to put it in a Sport mode and let it do the shifting (as a PDK would do). When I tried Manual shift mode I found that if I was just a split second late (too close to redline), it would hit the limiter which cost me far more time than having the car do the shifting (which it does very, very well). So as much fun as it is to go full Manual, better times come from Sport/Auto. And it does a great job as you are decelerating too, blipping the throttle and downshifting with some lovely snap, crackle and pop. All of that said, the paddles are still, always working. So you can still select a downshift or two whenever you want, then let it do the upshifts. Like all luxury car reviews, they are forced to be very, very picky (love Mat, just the way it is). But anyone who actually buys one of these will be a happy lad.

Even that’s heavy, Mine also surprised me, how much dry grip i had around the Nurburgring last month, so what is the extra 100k getting you? What’s the 100-200 time and 1/4 mile?

The predecessor had rwd and a trans axle transmission, differing strongly from the SL, which had it's transmission bolted to the engine, like every standard Mercedes with longitudinal engine placement. The transaxle gave the old GT a rear-biased weight distribution. And that weight was lower because it was a pure sports car without awd-option. Making it closer to a 911 and ferrari-competitor. So yes, it is a loss, that the new one is basically just a SL-Coupe with a front-heavy weight closer to Bentley-Coupes.
