2015 Mercedes AMG GT S Review - The Car The SLS Should Have Been?

Thanks to CarVertical for sponsoring today's video. Get 10% off their comprehensive car checks with this link:

In today's video we are looking at the Mercedes AMG GT. Almost forgotten by some despite still being in production, this was the follow up to AMG's first in-house road car, the SLS.

Built on the same chassis ,but with a 4.0L Bi-Turbo V8 replacing the old NA unit, can the GT be better than the older car - which was a letdown.

You recorded the sound of the engine really well. It sounds nearly as good as the Maserati you drove a few months ago. Thank you for putting the effort in on the sound quality.

Great review! I brought a 16 plate GTS about a month and over the moon with it. Swapped over from a 991 CS and much prefer the drama and character of the Mercedes. The sound is very addictive!

This is the best car you can buy for 60 grand, and even the services are not outrageously over priced. The rattle sound is coming from the center screen, a well known problem.

Please, clean the car for close up view, at least on the inside. Great video.

Test the GTC or GTR next. They are significant improvements over the already great GT/GTS: wider track, bigger turbos, revised gear ratios, dynamic engine and transmission mounts, more comfortable ride in C - for the GTC, and 4-wheel steering.

I'm not a Merc fan in the slightest, but this car does appeal to me. Don't care for the GT-R or black series, but this GTS is really good in my opinion.

[Fluterra]

The dash and rear rattle creaks are easy to fix! I’m a GTC owner. I never had dash rattles, but some minor rear hatch rattles, which are not hard to fix.

Finally AMG GT cars been waiting for this for a long time!

[vindevhunta]

Sls is next level
But this is a nice car
GTR is my favorite

[comeberza]

What I never loved of the amg gt is the 143 versions of it, like Porsche does, that induces conversations like: was this the gt? Or the gtc, maybe the gts or the gtr? Wasnt there a gtr pro too? They are all fast and look very similar, I know they are very different but the halo car for me should be simple, self explanatory.
The audio production of the video is brilliant

I have owned a GT S edition 1 for 6 years now and there is not a single rattle.... Maybe I am just lucky...

[flyinghedgehog]

The Scud has set the bar ..let the games begin! :)

Test drove one before I purchased my GT3. It feels so big on the road. Engine is workmanlike but you aren’t going to fall in love with it. I didn’t like the chav pops and bangs but hey I’m 50.

When I see you post a new video I always watch it eagerly and get swept away by the thought of owning such a lovely car.

Then real life kicks in and I look at it through the lens of crowded roads, speed cameras, 70mph speed limits and do find myself wondering what the point of it is?

I have this simple test called the Tesco test, could you go shopping, park it up go shopping and come back hours later and this car would terrify me.

I had an old Boxster S a few years back and leaving that around places was bad enough so what would I do with this? Get in it drive around a bit then drive home and park it up again, just seems kinda pointless

Oh well.... Looks sexy as all hell.

to me, the SLS was a competitor to the Bently continental/ Aston martin vanquish/ etc competitor. a grand tourer rather than the GT S which tries to compete against modern Porsche gt3's/ Bmw M cars/ etc

the vibe of the SLS is a Sunday cruiser while the GTS is a Sunday track day car. I prefer the SLS because of that

[simmo]

Love these things with the looks being their strong point for me, particularly over the old man looking SL you loved

[eze]

Thanks J, hope the owner can confirm the rattle was something in a pocket/compartment somewhere, otherwise the niggle would ruin the car.

[andresguerin]

GT C is the best street car IMO of all these AMGs

[tabishhassan]

You are the best car youtuber
I hope you achieve much more in your life

Haven't seen a normal GT in a while after all the GTR/GTR PRO and Black series hype on YT. But this made me realise the original GT or GTS are way nicer than the expensive special editions.

Stunning car, represent great value for money pre owned
