The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Is Fast, Beautiful, and More Refined

[@lucapellegrino8300]

To clarify a few things from the video, I work at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart myself. First, the GT and the SL don't have much in common; one of the few shared components is the door. As for the SL 43, it has a 4-cylinder engine and also comes with all-wheel drive. And you can order the car with back seats and when you have them you can fold them down.

[@Busenlilly]

Okay.

I have to say that in recent times, Doug has dropped the effort and quality of information that he puts into his videos. In the first eight minutes of the video he states that the SL43 has a V6 (it doesn't, it only gets the 4 cylinder), furthermore he talks about the GT only being offered with 2 seats (also wrong, it is obviously a 2+2). Those are the kind of mistakes that Doug usually doesn't make. Pretty disappointing to see how little he seems to work on his videos nowadays.

He used to pop the hood and point out funny warning labels and flip through the manual (perhaps digital now) and find interesting tidbits. Ya know, *quirks*. This was just an incredibly bland Mercedes advertisement. I think the only critique was for the in-screen AC controls?

Looks like a small old S65 with Roma tail lights. The SL can look refined but the AMG GT should look way more muscular than what we are being served right now.

[@MegaMilez]

The additional weight combined with the removal of the roadster entirely is sad to me.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Mercedes-Benz needs to hire some designers because this is the same old boring crap.

[@nils4481]

This is one of their better works. but yeah they really should, most of their modern cars look atrocious.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

​@nils4481 Exactly, and any slob can own a Mercedes now because of cheaper models and finance agreements etc, Mercedes just doesn't have the prestige anymore.

[@burakceylan23]

Just own one and drive around the city, ull see how it takes the attention from ppl.. it looks perfect for me

[@vindevhunta4905]

This a a good looking SL COUPE ….I prefer the more pronounced front mid engine strict 2seater layout of the previous gen…AMG GTR GREEN with yellow brakes and seat belts

[@IAmAlexArne]

I have about three of them available at Mercedes Benz of Pompano Beach Florida.

Check out throttle houses track review before you all start talking about its straight line numbers. It’s a track weapon. Weight is just a number. Plus it’s a GT!

[@cbotten106]

It's very well tuned if you take Thomas' word on it. And I do, btw.

[@skillissue1815]

you can get the gt with rear seats as an option, and you can fold them down for more cargo area :)

I still can’t get over the fact they took out the gullwing doors, it was like everyone’s dream and now it’s just a normal very fast merc

[@nils4481]

Thats a different car, the sls amg. The previous amg gt coexisted with that and also didnt have gullwing doors.

[@HirschPower]

They took out the gullwing doors over ten years ago?

[@BabyKobeeee]

The AMG gt never had gullwing doors😂😂

[@Matthias-499]

@@BabyKobeeee you’re all right I meant that the amg gt it’s the direct successor of the sls, and there’s no reason to laugh at someone that got a comment wrong

[@MagnificentGoldenRetrievers]

The Mercedes GT is our favorite car! 😍

I'd like to know the depreciation vs the Porsche.

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

It's gonna be big..

[@TomWilliams-z4e]

An AMG never holds value as well as a Porsche. I bought my C63 used in 2012 with 31k miles and a year of warranty remaining. The car had depreciated 40% in 3 years.

[@BabyKobeeee]

Look at the depreciation of the new SL lol

[@CarswithAlbertAlex]

@BabyKobeeee they all depreciate because there is no more people to buy them second hand.. the maintenance is ridiculous and really.. how many can afford one even second hand ?

[@cbotten106]

If you have to ask, we've got a nice low-mileage Prius here on the lot that you might be interested in.

[@JonoSSD]

Finally an expensive car infotainment that doesn't suck. It always baffled me how Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, etc had the priciest cars yet PS2 processors running 2004 Windows Mobile on them when it came to infotainment systems. But a volume knob is a must, gotta fix that.
