The model
Read full New Mercedes-AMG GT reviewThe Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé isn’t as agile or engaging as the best sports cars, but it’s surprisingly practical and the V8 petrol engine – a rarity these days – sounds fantastic. It's available as a plug-in hybrid, but rather than leading to great company car tax savings, the PHEV offers the most blistering performance in the range.
The trim
See full equipmentEven this entry-level trim comes well equipped. Highlights include a panoramic glass roof, a 360-degree parking camera and a Burmester surround sound stereo. Meanwhile, standard driver aids include automatic emergency braking (AEB), traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring and a driver attention alert system.
The engine
See full engine specsUpgrading from the AMG GT 55 to the 63 gives you an extra 108bhp and brings the 0-62mph time down to a smidge over three seconds. However, we reckon it’s worth spending a bit more again to get the Pro model.
