Is the 2025 Mercedes AMG GT 63 a BETTER sports car than a Porsche 911 Turbo?

The AMG GT received some major changes. Now sitting on the same chassis as the SL you will discover AWD. On the inside there is a full leather interior. Under the hood is a 4.0L twin-turbo V8. Is the 2025 Mercedes AMG GT 63 a BETTER sports car than a Porsche 911 Turbo?

The 911 Turbo S is an awesome machine. The only issue is the sound as you need to install an after-market sport exhaust. But this German beast has been refined for looks, technology, performance, and sound, making it the complete package. If I had the money, this GT 63 would be on order. Thanks, Joe. I love your enthusiasm during this drive.

Great performance without losing drivability. Such a nice car.

[MarceloPaciorek]

Joe and Lori make terrific reviews!! Thank you guys very much 🥰

[doggedlydetermined]

That V8 growl is special! Tough competition against a 911 Turbo though

[stevencoleman]

I think this looks a little better than the 911 but the resale is what I'd be concerned with. The Porsche won't drop 30% when it crosses the curb but the AMG definitely will!

[limestonealley]

at that price range you could get a 911 turbo fully customized!

[GddEityawesome]

Fake engine sound. Bigger and heavier than last gen. No thank you

[ludovic]

It is very depressing that AMG chose to install the fake non-utility vents. It is shocking that AMG would stoop so low for such a genuine and classy company!

World class car but def not up to par with the Turbo S

I feel like 99% of people will choose 911 Turbo blindfolded. But even a 911 Turbo owner will instantly want an AMG GT 63 if they see one on the road. That's the magic of the 63. Also with all the cost cutting across car manufacturers, Mercedes has cut the least and you can feel it if you've compared across the German companies. VAG just doesn't come close in terms of interior qualities. And I hated to say this because the big a$$ screen in the middle is actually the worst possible design Mercedes could've done. They later came out with the hyperscreen which is nuts but that is way too costly. Hyperscreen on the GT 63 would be instant seller.

This car is phenomenal, but I am still going 911 🖤🖤🖤

[varinvajanapornsand]

Sounds bad with the awful burble. The ipad screen is also very intrusive. Porsche screen much cleaner.

[mikeadams]

This is a car I'm considering for summer Joe. And c8 z06, eray, c7 z06 z07. I wish i could test drive them all. U have a great job!

Doesn't matter how much money you have, but buying one of these things is one of the absolute worst things you can do with your money.

These depreciate like a soiled mattress whereas a 911 will retain its value. A 911 is also a much better driving experience

[IanTheCarGuy]

Love the 911, however it’s not practical for weekends away or as a daily driver so it becomes a garage princess.

This is practical as a daily drive and is an absolute joy to be in. Given the choice, I chose this with no regrets at all.

[dusandestanovic]

Masterpiece. Stuttgart Rules. Excellent review, Joe.

[SteveNance-ttfy]

Joe-
I really enjoyed your review. I believe AMG has made some minor improvements interior mostly . It gave me something to compare my 2020 GT against.
See ya soon!

Less power than the 911 Turbo S, no DCT or manual option, slower than the 911 Turbo S that has a 6 cylinder in 0-60 and top speed. The lip in the front should have been all black, and the black wheels need to go in my opinion. The cockpit looks small, so I wonder about that. At 6'"3, I know I fit in the modern 911's. I like the MBZ, I think the 911 Turbo S in this case is still king.

[onterrioredmon]

I’d definitely buy it but in black though

[Flip_Angle]

What a beautiful thing !
I love this car
It's cool that as busy as you are you still follow -GT- racing, period
