Mercedes AMG GT

Has anyone made the move to one of these? I went to look at one this week, really not sure, the auto box puts me off :(
 
Working on a job last week and this was the neighbours driveway. Not a bad line up :roll:

If you can afford to have £300k worth of car on the drive, then generally you have your priorities in order way better than most people :?

I quite agree :D Plus, it might just be their commuter home, their ‘daily beater‘ if you like.

Aside from that, why spend more on a house you won’t ever get the use from? Pointless having a huge house and garden if you’re just a couple who hate gardening!
 
A new-build house of that size in Edinburgh could be around £800k-£1m.
 
I have driven an AMG GTS and it was fantastic..

Whats not to like?

A manual gearbox in one of these wouldnt suit it at all,it a GT to do GT duties.


If they ever fall into my price bracket i would have one in an instant,without hesitation.

:thumbsup:

I went to look at another today, going to take one out next weekend (lockdown permitting) to have a go.

Totally get the auto and GT thing, I just like changing gear :driving:
 
I get the Auto shift GT thing but I require the 3 pedal stick shift for the maximum sport car enjoyment. GL with the car. It has gorgeous lines and all the power you could want.

Thats your perogative....

Its one that i dont understand,bt its fair comment.

Have you ever used a manual gearbox in a 500-600bhp car? They are bad enough in something with 300-350bhp :rofl:

Technology moves on,you just have to up your game as a driver to utilise what is given to you.

It's like a big zed, that's why I like them so much :thumbsup: Yes the gearbox is becoming a sticking point for me the more I think about it. I went to see something else with a GTS badge on today, that may the solution as they come in manual :driving:
 
Either way it is a great machine, really. It just depends upon how and where you are going to drive it. For me a car like this would be a 4th car used solely for weekend canyon runs. I like the F type Jag in this category GT and nearly half the cost. The V8 540 hp 8 speed auto gets rave reviews in 2 wheel drive. They did make a few (dam few) MT units in 2016 but GL finding one of those. :driving:

I have a 440hp MT Mustang that requires respect. Even the little 315hp Boxster looses grip if pushed to hard.
I'm not sure I need more power than these have, but I do love the sounds and the G force. lol.
But I do enjoy the level of engagement I get from shifting gears in any car.
