Very impressed. I was expecting the worst but this looks good.

The piano black/carbon fiber rear bumper is a crime though.

1970kg.... I guess this is what happens when you abandon the SLS-based spaceframe for MSA....

1970kg.... I guess this is what happens when you abandon the SLS-based spaceframe for MSA....

Yeah, the Porsche 992 turbo s weighs 1733kg. The AMG V8 engine, beefier drivertrain, and interior all add weight to the AMG GT.

 

[Amat46]

I like it

 

[Centurion]

WOW. The rear has sensual aggression whilst the front end is the most beautiful one of current Mercs. What an utter home run. Bravo Mercedes.

 

[Ozy]

Thats a very nice evolution, closer to the previous Black Series, one can only wonder how crazy the GT-R or potential Black Series will be for this generation.

Proportions went even more towards the 992, cant miss with that imho.

Even though I like the taillights, the overall execution of the back was nicer in the previous gen, but I guess since the SL took that entry way, gotta distinguish them somehow.

It was destined to weigh as much as the AMG GT. Tragic but it’s life. If you want a light and agile AMG, buy an A45 AMG which is a shocking 400kg lighter. Meanwhile at Porsche, the 911 ST weighs under 1,400kg.

Finally the 911 has a visual rival. Handling won't be on the same level and AMG will likely claim so.

This is just a damn good looking AMG GT - nothing more, nothing less.

I look forward to seeing how useful the rear seats will be for young children.

Flags were lowered at half-mast at BMW headquarters.

1970 kg ? really? a serious no go for me, while the look is fantastic

 

[Gor134]

US numbers for the 992 Turbo S are around 1650kg

 

[Jonathan19]

It's beautiful, I really like the design, but 2000kg and no hybrid?

 

[martinbo]

It's a great looking GT and will find appeal with its target audience - including prospective 911 Turbo buyers - but the weight is quite a surprise and somewhat of a disappointment. Then again, what isn't in the 2 ton region these days?
