New Mercedes AMG GT vs The Cheapest AMG GT You Can Buy // DRAG RACE, REVIEW + LAP TIME

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupe ($195,000 starting in Canada, $175,900 starting in the US) is brand new and is now in its second generation. The first generation Mercedes-AMG GT S ($83,000 CAD, ~$60,000 USD) offers a powerful Biturbo V8 and a stunning road presence. This new generation offers all-wheel drive, even more power from a Biturbo V8, and a more spacious cabin with a 2+2 option. But how do they compare? And does the new one provide the same thrills as its predecessor? Thomas and James are excited to find out. We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.
A huge thank you to Apex Motorcars @apex.motorcars and to Kurran @vijanvision for making their GT S available to us

600+ lbs lighter and RWD has me wanting to drive the 1st gen far more.

[@rickjohnson2859]

Also, the transmission at the rear for better weight distribution.

[@veryfitblondeguy]

They also changed from a 7 speed DCT to a 9 speed with wet clutch.... not even a sports car anymore nor does it drive like it.

[@aaronzevenbergen5052]

Not to mention the price

[@TheJohn8765]

The weight delta seems bonkers. 600 pounds is a *huge* amount to cart around with you everyday. Let's be real: 99.9% of owners will never track the car so why would you want to move all that extra weight every time to accelerate, change direction, or brake?

I KNEW in my bones Thomas was going to fall in love with the last gen GTs. I wondered why it never got its own video, but he did admit he was sleeping on how good it was. Now I just need him to drive the GTc, GTr, and the GT Black Series in probably an Extra TH video. PLEASE!

[@jlgroovetek]

He did say he isn't interested in those variants though, likely because it no longer becomes a good value proposition. That being said, in Australia, the old GT is still holding alot of value at over USD$120k for a low mileage example, and for a similar mileage GTR for around $40k more.

[@pcpedroariel]

@@jlgroovetek Same thing here in Brazil. It has not gotten cheap.

[@CaseyCollier]

@@jlgroovetek The problem is: are you really doing the first generation of AMG GT justice if you don't cover the more performance-oriented versions of the car? This is especially the case for a car review KZbin channel where the content skews heavily in favor of performance cars. The GT S, GT R, and GT Black Series all drive quite differently than the base model, as you would expect. It would therefore make sense to drive those models as well, so you have a clear picture of the entire lineup.

[@memememine1]

​@@CaseyCollier while all faster none of those ever achieved the balance the base model did. When the original gts came out it blew everyone away. It won mt's 2015 best drivers car beating out stuff like the 981 gt4 for all the reasons Thomas explainrd. Mercedes introduced rear steer and many suspension changes on the later higher performance models. While they added performance it gave the car a disconnected feeling as the rear steer always made the rear feel like it had compliance. The car lost its amazing immediately trustworthy balance.

[@CaseyCollier]

@@memememine1 I'm not sure that's entirely true. While the steering feel may have been lost to some degree in the later models, can you really say with 100% certainty that the GT S, GT R, and GT Black Series aren't generally well-balanced cars that give the driver confidence when throwing them into a corner? Given that I believe they are, I would have to disagree with your characterization, there. Ultimately, I think if Thomas drove those three models, he'd likely have a blast in them. Sure, having a pure experience in the original base model GT is great, and I'm not trying to diminish that experience at all. What I am saying, though, is that if you want to truly understand the capabilities of the GT platform as a whole, you'll need to drive the higher performance models. It's the same for any performance-oriented car. As a reviewer, you can't truly grasp all the intricacies and capabilities of the 911 platform without driving the higher performance models in the lineup either.

[@sveeny]

To sum it up, these are some bullet points on the new AMG GT compared to its predecessor: - They added 350 Kg (770lb), in the sports car world that's an absurd amount of added weight - They ditched the transaxle design - They ditched the dry sump system - They ditched the front-mid engine layout - They ditched hydraulic steering - They made it AWD - Oh, it now has a big iPad center screen, yay! I guess its now truer to its Gran Turismo name tag but still. It's wrong on so many levels...

[@jessicalacasse6205]

got wrong when they dropped the 6.2 got overweight but still wanted the 6.2 fame witha a bad 4.0

[@sveeny]

@@jessicalacasse6205 even though I own a car with the 6.2L I only partly agree with you. Yes, the 6.2 is the pinnacle of AMG engines, but considering AMG had no choice bud abide by strict emission laws the 4.0 they came up with is pretty damn fantastic. It‘s very tunable and works extremely well in the GT. But yeah, SLS is of course still my dream car 😁

The best AMG GT63 review on the internet, hands down! Finally, someone mentioned how much better the old GT is compared to the new GT in terms of performance. However, it would be a much better comparison if they used the GT R versus the GT63. Both have the same turbo size, rear-wheel steering, and push 577hp. Their MSRPs are the same as well.

You guys in America don't know how lucky you are to be able to drive without front license plates. The car looks so much nicer without them. I work for Mercedes in Stuttgart.

[@ajayjuneja7841]

Many states require front plates in the USA, but not all.

[@spewp]

As a former AMG GTS owner, I definitely feel a profound sense of sadness about the direction Mercedes has decided to go with their entire lineup of vehicles. Too digital - Mercedes now collects data on you (see Mozilla's privacy report) data that can influence the price of your insurance. Every car in the lineup has too many tech gimmicks, like expensive screens and haptic buttons that nobody likes. They're subjectively less beautiful, lines softened that otherwise defined AMG's muscle. Call me old fashioned if you'd like, but there's a beauty in analog gauges and a screen-less driving experience. Love you Mercedes, but we're over for now. xoxo

I'm with you. People say my Audi interior is outdated, but that's just fine with me. I'll take my analog buttons. Even the little time I use my MMI I have to take my eyes off the road. The new cars are just one big iPad now.

[@spewp]

@@Fabulousprofound168 Zero mechanical problems during my GTS ownership experience (2017 - 2023). One recall for the carbon fibre driveshaft. Maintenance was expensive but not obscene like a Lambo or Aston. The retraction mechanism on the cupholder cover is notoriously brittle and it was $2K to replace it.

[@TheJohn8765]

In 20 years, which would you prefer? IMO, a rear wheel drive muscle car that can still go around a corner is going to be more desirable than a tech-heavy interior that won't age that well.

[@iwasadeum]

The older I get, the more I appreciate front-engine design and usability. My DD for the last three years has been a C7 Z06 Corvette. While it is extremely usable due to massive trunk space, it is still very inconvenient. Having to take certain routes or avoid locations that cause me to scrape my nose is exhausting. After DDing this car for years, I finally just added a Mazda CX-70 to my garage, and it's making me dislike my Z06 more and more every time I drive it. Performance-wise, absolutely no question. The Z06 is a freaking monster. I even went for the Turbo S model of the CX-70 to keep some of that sporty feel. But it doesn't compare to the raw, on-the-bull-for-8-seconds feeling of flooring the Z06. But that level of inconvenience surely cannot overcome the inconvenience of higher performance, mid-engine supercars. More and more, I'm learning that cars like Lambos, Ferraris, etc. are horrible daily drivers. I'd honestly rather have a ~$80K luxury-performance sedan or SUV over a LaFerrari. My dream garage ATM would have to be a C6 ZR1, an SLS AMG (love the AMG GT, but SLS is timeless), a Bentley Bentayga, and a Ford Raptor. Hypercars are cool to see and ridiculous to experience in a track setting. But real world? Not usable.

Tfw just one ECU tune on the old AMG GT and it would destroy the new one in a roll save 140k for the old one plus tune and bang

[@brooklynnewyork5255]

Probably. A basic Renntech tune adds over 100hp.

[@546Scott]

Such a good channel!!

[@krzysztofmedyna3661]

I love you guys for living your best lives.

[@genzigzag]

I prefer the previous model

[@emtoothree5]

‘We all know plugs are buts’ ffs😂😂

[@OutsideDuhBox]

I just freaking love these guys😅 I was a hater early on but they are hilarious now that they are out of their shell.

[@hami_1012]

Nah 8:44 is outrageous 💀

[@mrinalsingam6047]

Didn't watch the video yet but I know it'll be great 🎉❤

[@AkashKumar-wr7fe]

an absolutely beautiful review

[@MandalorianOfMiatas]

Yes! LAP TIMES! Can't remember the last time you guys did one

[@TheStigsSimcousin]

I will never understand the C43 version of this,that used to mean it's a 4.3V8 not a 4cylinder

[@damilolaakanni]

Those days are long behind us, unfortunately. When last did you see that a BMW M340i had a 4.0 engine?

[@TheStigsSimcousin]

@@damilolaakanni I know, or the Audi with 55TFSI and stuff but pretty expensive for a 4cyl. Not saying it's slow or something but at that point buy a Golf R or something

[@dietznutz1]

No, the c43 always had a v6, the e43 has had a v6 and now i6

[@TheStigsSimcousin]

@@dietznutz1 the w202 had a 4.3 V8

[@MidnightBenz]

It's for people that care about looks and status and not speed

"Affalterbach" On The AMG Logo Is A Town In Germany, Which Means "Apple Tree Stream." The Town's Coat Of Arms Features An Apple Tree With Red Apples On A White Field, With A Wavy Blue Line At The Base. This Coat Of Arms Is Also Featured On The Left Side Of The Mercedes-Benz AMG logo, With A Line Below The Tree Representing A River.

[@Affalterbach1967]

Facts.

[@chesspiece81]

These are gorgeous. Either of these with a tune, exhaust, and turbos would be an absolute dream to own.

[@kadeschagunn9739]

That’s what I love about throttle house they give us the funny out take sneeze 🤧 at the end 😂

[@NebulaIsTaken]

Didn’t realize that the AMG had such a gassy exhaust until that intro.

[@Fasteddie1085]

🚥 I understand the usage case for going hybrid on all these newer models…save some co2 emissions but the weight is getting out of control. I have a 4.0 Bentley Continental GT that makes 1000 horsepower and 1200 foot pounds of torque ALL motor😏No hybrid…but hey different strokes for different folks 😂

[@AaronJones-bt1ye]

Agreed and that Bentley Continental Gt you got got is pure sex on wheels🛞

[@remowilliams564]

I got to drive the old AMG GTR at the AMG Driving Experience. It was an absolute blast around the Road Atlanta track.

[@whosyourmate8292]

THE best intros in the game 👌👍
