A Car Too Far? Why The AMG GT 63 S 4 Door Coupe Was A Flop

In today's video, I drive one of the weirdest cars of modern times. The AMG GT has been a modest success for the brand, but their four door has not seen the same sales. With some very impressive numbers on its side, why is this?

Flop or not, I'll gladly take this over a SUV.

[oneme]

Of all of the reviews for this car since 2018/19. I'm still fixed that this is my dream car and this review hasn't changed it

[ManilvaRS]

Turbocat Fire Bastard is quite literally up with with The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

Honestly this car served no purpose in the lineup considering the CLS exists.

I own a 2016 CLS 63S with the 5.5 ltr engine, list was £96k, i paid £74k with discount. love it, love it, love it. Then they discontinued with the new model CLS, and launched this. Not for me, ridiculously expensive @ £135k (no discount folks), too much chrome, engine sounds too “boy racer” now with pops and bangs, lacks the CLS’ class and refinement, lacks the CLS ride comfort (although the CLS could be stiffened up a lot with a push of a button), much less space in the back seats than the CLS. Sorry Mercedes, you lost a loyal customer with this decision.

I can tell this is going to be a great video by "Turbocat Fire Bastard"

[martinboulden]

Seen quite a few of these in Germany, Switzerland and Spain over the last two months.

Don't get the whole big-outside but small-inside idea. If I buy a big car I want it a roomy interior!

[TheEarlofK]

Mercedes win the gold award for incoherent packaging on this model; I feel claustrophobic just watching you driving it, I couldn't possibly live with it.

[lukearmitage]

Imagine giving someone your AMG and him just slagging your pride and joy off.😂

Many people have said that the AMG GT63s 4 door is the best handling 4 door car ever.

[abath]

I thought these were cool when they first came out. Then I saw one in traffic and thought it was gopping. I recently got to drive one and shared a similar opinion to yourself. I got out of it wondering why anybody would buy one over the E63S. I also just don’t think the recipe is as refined as that of the Panamera. I’m yet to go in or drive a Turbo S E-Hybrid, so I look forward to your video. Though let’s be honest the difference in pace on road between a regular Turbo and the GT 4 door is negligible, but people think that controlled drag races are the be all and end all now...

[blicknessraven]

I can sort of get why anyone would opt for an Audi RS7 over an RS6 Avant. They both look cool individually, despite being the exact same car. But I can't understand why anyone would buy an AMG GT 4-Door over a Mercedes-AMG E63S. Or a CLS. They're all the same, and the estate looks coolest and is practical. The other two are basically just fast bananas, but all three look slightly soggy and designed for old men, as is Mercedes tradition...

[kennywasgod]

A friend of mine has the Edition One version of these. It’s scarily fast, in fact it’s very very fast. The sound alone is enough for you to delay buying an EV for as long as possible.

[alexoliver]

Long story short, save £30k and buy an E63S.

[sparky]

Not sure I’ve ever seen one of these about. Or maybe I have and as it just looks like every other Merc I paid it no notice.

[henryshu]

Sometimes I really don't understand what are Mercedes thinking of, I mean this GT 4 door thingy is essentially the real successor of CLS, it's low, wide, unique and looks better than traditional Merc sedans, so why don't they just call it a CLS mark 3 already, why make "The CLS"that looks like a freaking A-class sedan or CLA? And 135000 for the GT63 S ? Really!? Have they ever understand how BMW sell their cars?

[Tential]

Jay, stop talking up the ff. You're ruining my life here. I want this thing to depreciate, not sky rocket.

[duncanmartin]

Have you tried a Taycan Cross Turismo yet? It would be really interesting to compare that to the Panamera next week.
