You can see a yellow and a gray AMG GT behind me, and there's a blue convertible.
And here's a flat dark gray Edition 50.
If time allows it, we're going to drive all AMG GTs.
That's not bad. We're starting with this V8 biturbo.
We'll try to find the differences, because they all have a V8 biturbo with different hp.
All have the same 4.0 V8 biturbo.
I wonder if there are enough differences between the cars
to warrant 4 models within the range, if you know what I mean.
Enough talking, we're going to drive.
We're starting with one of the best in the range.
It may not be smart to start with the most powerful road-going version, because the others will be less.
Maybe not; we'll see. This is the GTC.
Apart from the GTR we'll drive on a track, this is the most powerful road-going version.
It has 549 hp and 680 Nm (502 lb ft) torque.
It does 0-100 kph (62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and the top speed is 317 kph (197 mph).
The coupe isn't officially available in the Netherlands at the moment, so we don't have a price yet.
The convertible is 224,000-225,000 euros.
The price difference will probably be 10,000-15,000 euros. You can do the math.
This is a beast. Incredible. It launches.
The sound is bizarre. It pops and bangs.
The Sport Plus mode isn't healthy. I put it in Comfort so I can talk to you.
The handling... It feels smaller than you'd expect from a GT.
It doesn't have the handling of a Lotus Elise, but it's on a 911 level.
It's focussed and direct without being very stiff.
The satnav lady wants to say something. I can get used to this car.
Let's go to the track to drive a GTR. That's even cooler.
After that we'll drive the less powerful units.
We're at the Bilster Berg track, where we're going to do a lap with the GTR.
That's the green one, but here's also a GT3 AMG.
There are similarities between these cars, especially the vertical slats in the grille.
This used to be exclusive for the Mercedes race cars, but the GTR and GTC have it too now.
I see the GTS and normal GT have it too, so it became a thing for the AMG GT after the facelift.
What's there to see on the new GTR?
First, it's wider to give more room to the wider wheels. The rear is 20 inch and 19 inch up front.
The only AMG GT with 19 inch rear and front wheels is the standard GT. The rest has 20 inch rear wheels.
The front has shutters and such that can move to change the airflow to the engine.
More air to the engine because the V8 needs much of it for the extra power.
This car has the optional carbon ceramic brakes.
This blade is different for the GTR. It has extra aero things. A piano-black trim.
A wider ass and a big diffuser with a center exhaust.
Finally, this spoiler.
The other AMG GTs have a small spoiler flush with the car, but the GTR has this spoiler.
It is adjustable with hex bolts to optimize it for your Nordschleife lap times.
Did I forget something?
Probably, but it doesn't matter. Let's drive it.
Did you steal the car? - I stole the car.
We have to wait until we're allowed to drive because it started to rain. They don't want to install rain tires.
That's lame. - I installed cameras, so have fun.
Thank you.
That man explains how a car works. There are 2 pedals. It's an automatic transmission.
Left is brake, right is accelerate. You have to steer the car yourself, okay?
Don't touch these buttons.
Just follow me and pay attention. Yes? Good luck. See you later.
This is a very bumpy section of the track.
You feel the car work. A GTR did a laptime of 7m10s on the Nordschleife.
That's very fast. It's thanks to active aerodynamics.
A panel on the bottom opens to decrease lift on the front axle.
And it guides extra air to the diffuser.
The AMG GTR has 155 kg (342 lb) more downforce than the normal AMG GTs.
Weight has been saved on the front fenders. They're made of carbon to make the car even lighter.
This thing really launches.
Bilster Berg is a tricky track. Very technical and bumpy in some sections.
There's much elevation.
It's really cool, though.
It's an impressive machine. I didn't expect it to be so focussed and track ready.
It has something very crude, in the way the engine works, but it's so right. It's really...
It's a really cool machine.
Kudos for the suspension engineers. Bilster Berg is a tricky track.
There are some very bumpy sections, but it kept its wheels on the ground.
You feel the suspension work, but you can keep going without trouble. Well done. I'm impressed.
I have a frog in my throat. I'm that impressed. - Want a cola, Casper?
I'm going to drink a cola to cool down. I have to cool down.
You kept it shiny side up. Well done. Thank you.
This is important too. Michelin Pilot Sport Cups 2, developed for this car.
They should last up to 50% longer on track than a normal AMG GT.
They were nice and sticky. I'm hot, I want cola. - Don't you have to test when they're worn out?
When they're worn out? The man didn't allow me to drift. That's lame.
Or you would've tested it. - I would certainly have tested it.
For science, but I wasn't allowed to drift.
After all the violence on track I get to calm down in the least powerful AMG GT.
Here it is; the AMG GT.
This base model AMG GT with 469 hp and 620 Nm (457 lb ft) torque isn't slow.
It launches too. 0-100 kph (62 mph) takes 4 seconds and the top speed is 304 kph (189 mph).
That's lower than the GTC and GTR, but who cares. This is still a beast.
I like it's clean. The outside isn't frilly. It has nice and straight lines.
It's not widened and no extra air scoops or spoilers.
The design is very pure. I think it's a pretty car.
Some purists will like that you can order this car without a variable suspension.
It'll have a standard suspension without different modes.
Less is more. This is...
It costs 159,000 euros and a bit.
That's 70,000 euros less than a GTR.
You're doing 0-100 kph (62 mph) 0.4 seconds slower.
As if you'll notice, especially in the Netherlands. I think this car is cool.
I wonder if I'd pay the extra money for the top of the range.
I'd know if I visit the track a lot, but as a daily driver or touring in the weekend, this is a nice machine.
Let's see. Martijn, do you know what button opens the roof? Yes, the roof opens.
We could choose one more car.
We didn't choose the GTS to complete the engine line-up, but we wanted to drive a convertible.
The weather isn't great.
Let's listen to the V8 roar before going back to the GTC spec.
That's not bad, right?
I think it's dry enough. I hope it stays that way. See you later, Martijn.
I think it's raining too much. Let's close the roof. - You can do that while driving.
While driving. I don't know the max speed, but we're doing 40 kph (25 mph) in a residential area.
Quiet and dry. Wonderful.
This is the convertible. Sorry, the roadster.
It has something. It's nice you can hear the exhaust sound even better,
if it weren't for the bad weather at the moment.
I have to keep the top closed because it's raining too much.
We did drive it open for a bit and it sounds great.
When the car is in Sport Plus or Race, it opens the exhaust and produces engineered crackles.
Those bangs... You can fully enjoy the sound. For the rest the car is the same as the coupe.
It handles the same, basically just as stiff; you don't feel much difference.
It's just nice. Whatever you want. I'd choose a coupe because I don't really like driving convertibles,
but I get why you'd choose the roadster. You do want to hear something.
Back at the airport.
We drove the last leg with the GTC, the convertible.
The weather isn't great, but we did drive it top down. Great.
You want me to have a conclusion for the AMG GT.
The GTR was very impressive. Really cool, but the standard AMG GT feels less assisted.
It's a purer driver's car. I think the clean look is pretty.
The GTC is cool, but I think it doesn't need the extra wide ass.
What do I think about the car?
I'm a Porsche fanboy, but if I had the money...
Mercedes made me reconsider.
If you know me, you know this is a huge compliment for Mercedes.
