- Thread starter Merc1

Ha, I just bought a 911 that was in stock so I could get an allocation for another one that I actually wanted.

Did you get a good deal? I have seen some brand new with £15-20k discount. I know one person that got £19k discount last week....

I bought it without a discount but won’t need to pay extra on top of retail price for my ordered car.

What does that have to do with me in the U.S.?

New Mercedes-AMG GT goes on sale in UK
You can only buy the 585hp GT 63 over here - and you'll need 911 Turbo money to do it
The more usable, possibly slightly better looking and certainly still V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4Matic is now available to order in the UK. You might recall that there’s a GT 55 beneath the more powerful 585hp version, mirroring the equivalent SL - but that won’t be available over here from launch. Instead, you’ll have to make do with the full-blooded derivative in one of three trim levels. It starts at £164,765.
This puts the car firmly in Porsche 911 Turbo territory, which, on the basis of power and pedigree, is absolutely the rival Mercedes is targeting. The latest GT, now in 2+2 format and with standard all-wheel drive and ‘improved all-round visibility’ has acquired a newfound focus on everyday usage - precisely the qualities that Porsche customers tend to favour when buying a high-spec 911. As we suggested when the new AMG GT was revealed back in the summer, it is these buyers that Mercedes will hope to persuade.
Accordingly, there are three trim levels to choose from. All get the familiar 4.0-litre V8 with the nine-speed MCT transmission; all get from 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and go on to 196mph. Similarly, all are equipped with rear-axle steering and AMG’s electronic limited-slip diff at the back. So for the most part, the difference between Premium Plus (£164,765), Performance (£175,765) and the inevitable Launch Edition (£180,765) is cosmetic or equipment-based.
We won’t dive into the minutia here - all details are now available on the Mercedes UK site - but suffice it to say no variant is poorly equipped, although if you want a racier look (i.e. with additional flicks at the front, a fixed rear spoiler and AMG Performance seats inside) plus the carbon ceramic brakes, you’re better off going for the mid-tier option that slightly undercuts the £180,600 you’ll pay for a 911 Turbo S. Of course, if money is no object, the Launch Edition adds a carbon trim exterior package and a particularly fetching set of 21-inch Manufaktur forged wheels in matte Techgold amongst other things. Or you could wait for the E Performance plug-in hybrid version that’ll almost certainly turn up next year with more than 800hp.

Thanks - waiting for some of the other US Car Youtubers to get their hands on it to.
Do we have any word on when this is going to be shipping globally?

Oh I see. Youtubers I can have a look.
I have a February build date with April delivery (USA), and the dealer says they are expecting demo/press vehicles to appear in January/February in USA dealer showrooms.
