  • The Mercedes-AMG GT C Coupe is priced and specified to rival high-end Porsche 911s but in many respects the Merc is a totally different animal.
    Its twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 gives it astonishing pace and a truly awe-inspiring soundtrack, while its whale-sized grille and elongated bonnet combine to give it a strong hint of old-school American muscle car.

    I have a 2016 AMG GTS and I love it. I've in the past also owned 911s but I find these two cars to be very different and yet similar in some ways. The AMG has more power and equal handling to a 911 S. I like the size of the AMG with it's width and long hood. Also, the interior is a bit more luxurious.

    This has some incredible road presence that I don't this any Porsche has, looks brilliant

    The exterior is just top class

  • @DanielSadjadian
    @DanielSadjadian Před 7 lety +13

    Beautiful car, probably the best car to go for in the AMG GT range, as the GTR is a probably a handful for everyday driving.

    Great review. Lovely change to have some considered, nuanced opinion. Too many top gear/5th gear clones shouting away. 👍👍

    Great review! Good information on the driving, glad it's not just me that had the same issue with the seat position, i.e. centre console buttons / gear selector being too far back. Still a nice motor thou' !

    @HypnOlli Před 6 lety +1

    How the hell he keeps on bangin about how "huge" it is...It has a long bonnett but the car itself is actually as big as the Porsche 911 within 5cms...

  • @QuavyQua
    @QuavyQua Před 6 lety

    what? i thought c is for convertible

    • @kuddin9021
      @kuddin9021 Před 7 lety +4

      Zhou Ye no, however you may be confused because it was released initially as a roadstar

    • @Tbland0930
      @Tbland0930 Před 7 lety +4

      The GTC sits between the "normal" GT cars and the track-focused GTR. More power, Panamericana grill, etc.

    • @hasanal-habbobi4018
      @hasanal-habbobi4018 Před 7 lety +1

      Zhou Ye me too. But I guess it also stands for coupé

    • @alpha1k-
      @alpha1k- Před 6 lety +2

      Gtc is a gts with the widebody and rear steering from the gtr.

    when I look at interior Im just wondering how comfortable it can be. beautiful car but not best about performance (still enough)

  • @adrianbedolla2458
    @adrianbedolla2458 Před 6 lety

    Probably my favorite car but i feel like the 0-60 should be better

  • @FreeSmokeEA
    @FreeSmokeEA Před 4 lety

    So nice feel like it's a disrespect ppl keep saying it was built to battle 911's cause if it was Mercedes killed Porsche horribly and they should be ashamed lol

  • @edwardfeast
    @edwardfeast Před 7 lety +1

    I notice that the microphone you were using was giving bad feedback noise, which got worse as the car accelerated, might just be the device, but i wondered if that had a link to the car's NVH, also notice that the drivers seat flexes underneath you, it's not as well bedded to the rear bulkhead, but i guess it is to be somewhat expected from a composite component. Basically the gist i get here is that Merc have made a seriously good drivetrain, (including suspension, brakes and steering) but I get the feeling there's some added refinement that they've neglected for the £140,000 price tag. Still though very nice review.

    • @AutoTraderTV
      @AutoTraderTV  Před 7 lety +3

      Unfortunately, the noise is the mic recorder picking up a telephone signal. The reviewer has been advised to switch his phone to airplane mode in future while recording.

  • @georgeure1942
    @georgeure1942 Před 5 lety

    would rather have an aston martin db11 or a bentley continental gt. cant beat british gt cars.

    • @user-re9gj2zd5e
      @user-re9gj2zd5e Před 3 lety +2

      British cars are shit... the conti isn’t shit because it’s a German car with a British brand and the db11 is very mediocre (also, it uses a lot of Mercedes components such as the engine)

  • @tigerbalm666
    @tigerbalm666 Před 4 lety

    Funny i nerer likd Mercs...buttha last 5 years, their cars are more impressive than even BMW or Audi! I would love to own the A45 hatch!

    The front end looks like a '50s Buick.

    Nice car but imagine having a front end crash. The driver would get crushed by the big engine!

  • @tigerbalm666

    A "refined" car...is NOT a sports car!

  • @Nextgenenglish
    @Nextgenenglish Před 7 lety

    Would rather have an E 63 S...
    Cheaper, quicker, better ride, better options, more practical, etc.
    Is styling the main thing you're paying £140k for?

    • @SidyWidy
      @SidyWidy Před 7 lety +1

      Next Gen English ikr, this would be my dream car if it was all wheel drive and much quicker

    • @skmk88
      @skmk88 Před 7 lety

      Sidy Widy so your dream car is a 911 😂

    • @aryanrishi
      @aryanrishi Před 7 lety +2

      Well if you drive on a track, the GTC would beat the AMG E63, as it has a lower weight, better handling, and the GTC is more of a trackc ar in the first place.

    • @SidyWidy
      @SidyWidy Před 7 lety

      sasamykolors It depends, a GT3 RS is amazing too, but I like the way the GT line looks

    • @thesos0
      @thesos0 Před 6 lety

      Yes. E63 is ugly. Any E series actually
