THE MERCEDES AMG GT S is a very capable and appealing sports car. It is nimble and extremely quick and offers great road handling and driving fun to its owners.
Outside:
This two-door coupe has a long, shapely and assertively styled bonnet. It has bold front lights, LED daytime lights and a purposeful large grille. That classic coupe shape swoops down gracefully towards the rear, which has narrow brake lights and large twin exhaust pipes. It sits on 20-inch alloys.
Inside:
The cockpit is just as studied looking, with a large transmission tunnel which is home to eight driver function buttons that are laid out in a V shape. There is a wing-shaped dashboard, stylised air vents and centre console with AMG drive unit.
There are low-slung, sculpted electronically controlled AMG Sports seats and an AMG-performance leather multifunction steering wheel, which is fully adjustable.
The car is equipped with the COMAND Online multimedia system. Based around a dashboard-mounted 8.4-inch colour display, the system offers 3D map navigation, in-car internet access, hands-free capabilities, a wealth of music and video entertainment options, and an AUX jack and Bluetooth.
This car is finished in a striking two-tone red pepper and black Nappa leather.
The safety features on this car are substantial, as you would expect from Mercedes and include; multiple airbags, driver knee airbag, side airbag, side impact protection, traction control, cruise control, onboard computer, stop and start system, EPS, ABS, remote central locking, immobiliser and remote controlled alarm.
The lights, windows and mirrors are all automatic and the cabin comes with dual air-con and ISOFIX anchor points.
Under the hood:
This car is powered by a 4.0-litre bi-turbo engine that delivers a massive 520hp at 6,250rpm and peak torque of 650Nm arriving at 1,750rpm and staying until 4,750rpm.
The Mercedes AMG GT S has a top speed of 310km/h and goes 0 to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds. It has a combined fuel economy figure of 9.4 litres/100km and falls into tax band F, which means it is €1,200 to tax a year.
