Facepalm.

 

[Grosser]

I don't like the titles and clickbaiting stuff, but he did a good review of it.

Facepalm.

So many of nowadays Youtube reviewers are a complete facepalm. They couldn't tell a diesel from an electric motor...it's upsetting to see that they are making money with crap and influencing others with their poop.

Sachsenring-Comparison of all four variants (GT, GT S, GT C, GT R) coming up this Friday in AB Sportscars

 

[Grosser]

^Can't wait! The biggest difference will be GT R vs rest, smallest difference will be GT vs GT S on lap times IMHO. Would love to know how much difference optional rear-wheel steering makes when it's added to GT S vs GT S with no RWS.

Does anyone know how is the ride quality on non-adaptive suspension of AMG GT compared to the optional AMG Ride Control setup?

Some reviews say that the base model is more comfortable and actually makes the car ride better.

I haven’t driven the base model suspension but the Ride Control even in the regular setting is quite stiff. If you go to sport or sport +, it becomes unusable in daily driving unless you’re a racer. Passengers don’t appreciate anything but leaving it in the regular setup. However, if you drive on a track or a mountain road, sport+ is absolutely amazing that gives the GT great control and immediate reactions.

Guys, do you know when or if the AMG GT will receive the upgrades of facelifted C63?

 

[tristatez28lt1]

I'm not aware of any C63 updates that transcend into the GT.

 

[AndreB]

I mean the new AMG steering wheel, digital cluster, widescreen nav...

Then I guess it will not get a second facelift.

a more track focused version arriving? (not yet the Black Series)

Mercedes-AMG GT R prototype confirmed to be a track-focused ‘Clubsport’ model

I also thought the GT would get the updates you mentioned at the facelift. But the digital cluster will have to be a bespoke one as the instrument binnacle/cluster is smaller than the C class. Making one for a low volume model such as the GT might not be too economical. The new windscreen display also seems too wide for the recess that it sits in.

^ I think AMG GT has exactly the same cluster as C63. Steering wheel is the same.

Yes, the pre-facelift C Class and the GT share a similar instrument binnacle. But I am sure the facelifted C Class has a wider instrument binnacle.

 

[Grosser]

That color!

No way does the facelift have a wider binacle. Would be way to expensive to change for a facelift. Sprinter has the same gauges cluster as well. Would be VERY surprised if GT didn’t get digital cluster.

I know I know, what I mean is the new binnacle looks like it utilises all the space available in the dashboard cavity. The two silver barrel trimmings on the pre-facelift one is heavily canted inward from both sides and is narrower and gives a more 'tunneled' appearance. The two silver barrel trimmings on the facelifted screen are not as heavily canted and the screen appears broader.
