Mercedes-AMG GT S road test and review - The Sunshine Coast Daily
Mercedes-AMG's new GT S is one. Here is the unofficial successor to the gull-wing doored SLS AMG, looking sleeker than ever and costing nearly $200,000 less. If ever a $300,000 car was a bargain then this twin-turbo 375kW/650Nm is it, and will give shoppers of Porsche's 911 or BMW's M6 something to consider over their caviar brekkies. Electric AMG seats are firm but nicely curved and supportive, so even after a few hours in the saddle there was no discomfort. The seating position is wonderful, with the slim windscreen and hectares-long bonnet giving a real purposeful feel - it may be claustrophobic to some, but this is real GT sensation. Highway cruising on decent road surfaces is pliable enough in Comfort setting, but on poor surfaces you really feel those bumps through your backside. Sport rather than Sport+ setting was our preferred happy middle ground, but crashiness is a given in this tightly sprung AMG. Source: www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au
