Chris Harris may be a better driver, but this dude wins on the hairstyle.

This is one of the nicest looking cars to come out in recent years imo. It's not all about the track i doubt most owners will take it to the track. it's a beautiful GT with some raw performance as well

Good review. I especially like the "Crazy looking Professor" presenter.

Henry is doing a great job on these. Very personable!

[srbmckenzie]

Such a beautiful car and what an amazing sound.... right at the top of my list.

I won't be suprised if the 911 Turbo is faster than the AMG GT S, because both cars are still great!

[revlimits]

Big fan of this car, think its a lovely machine!

[eugenehvorostyanov]

No need to compare it to 911 turbo, because imho performance wise they in different leagues. Better suited companion would be Jag F-type.

[ginge]

Beast! One of the very few Merc's I want to own.

Can't replace the beauty SLS AMG Black Edition

[mattromanes]

Amazing car! Well done AMG, the closest anyone will get to the Porsche 911!

[reubengoh]

So it seems I'm the only person here who loves the looks. What an astonishing profile; that rear end just looks classy.

[backbreaker]

Briefly drove one of these back in April of this year...fell in love with the damned thing instantly!

This is the kind of car that Mercedes excels at. I've never been a fan of their saloons and coupés, but they do roadsters better than any of their rivals.

Interesting... most people are bashing the car although I really really loved this one. I always prefer the best Porsches and Ferraris over the Mercedes but this vehicle really made me feel something else haha

[KaneDesigns]

I'm torn of the design of this car, sometimes I love it other times I'm not so sure, I really need to see one in person

[Ghostintheshell]

i love the look of this car so much i see these all the time in los angeles, they are like 100k or more for the base one

What is the song called, starting at 05:28 ?

I previously owned the 911 (great car) and just test drove the Turbo S. Outstanding vehicle! . I put the deposit on the GT-S for the heck of it and also it is literally 80K less expensive than the Turbo S in Canada. 230K vs 150K or 200K for the straight 911 turbo. It looks fabulous in the Selenite Grey. Both the Turbo 911 (2014) and this car are great in appearance and performance.  Anyone that has driven both would have have a difficult time criticizing one over the other.  I am sure the 911 Turbo will be faster on the track, but driving in town is impossible to push to this limit so who cares.

This car looks amazing in the flesh. I was looking at one in my local dealership at the weekend. A matt silver GT S. priced at €170, 000. Shame it was already sold, I had that much cash on me.
