Laguna Seca is best know for the famous corkscrew corner, mastering this corner and the long left hand corner after it are key for a fast lap here.
The first few laps we drove in Sport+ mode with ESP on. For a rear-wheel drive car with 500+ hp it feels very well balanced and predictable, it allows your confidence to build extremely quick. After two laps we switch to Race mode, here the ESP is scaled back to ‘emergency’ only, otherwise it will let the tires slip and slide at will. Especially the last corner brings incredible joy as you drift onto the main straight and race down over the blind crest towards the first corner.
On track the AMG GT S just feels right, it is incredibly quick and well balanced. It will only give you drama when you evoke it – and once you do it feels right and balanced in that too. This unlike a Jaguar F-Type Coupe R per example which will give you drama whether you want it or not.
The sound of the twin-turbo 4.0 liter V8 under stress fills the cockpit nicely and sounds unmistakably AMG. Again in comparison to a lot of other cars in this segment AMG has used natural sound of the V8 only. Apart from the flaps this is just how it sounds – no additional tricks to feed sound in the cockpit or any sound generator stuff for AMG.
From the side it reminds me a lot of the Jaguar E-Type (one of the most beautiful cars ever built). I think Mercedes-AMG managed to design a more fitting successor to the E-Type with the AMG GT than Jaguar did with the F-Type.
The engine is a fabulous piece, it combines both ferocious track performance with excellent daily driver capabilities – and a good fuel economy too. The improved 7-speed double-clutch gearbox in the AMG GT is flawless. In other AMG models the gearbox has always been a point of criticism for me but the upgraded, improved SLS AMG gearbox in the GT S does the job as it should. Also AMG removed the unnecessary S-setting for the gearbox still available in so many cars today so all you get is D for automatic drive and manual for pedal use. The D program automatically adapts to the driving mode you chose with the rotary selector and your driving style – simple and effective.
The mechanical grip and down force are fabulous and if you compare it to the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R it is just so much better at putting the power down on the road and delivering the confidence needed for a high speed drive on the German autobahn and fast laps on any race track time and time again.
Many have tried, very few have succeeded. This is true for breaking the hegemony of the Porsche 911 over the past decades. So how does the AMG GT S fare against what we could call the benchmark sportscar out there?
Actually the AMG GT does incredibly well. It can rival the 911 in refinement, precision and perfection, something the 911 has always managed to beat the competition on. More importantly it has two elements that we found less in the 911: emotion and character. In terms of performance it really depends which Porsche 911 model you put it up against. Compared to the Turbo S, the AMG GT doesn’t have the same brutal off-the-line acceleration due to RWD but once the car moves it is pretty damn quick. The interior is certainly more modern and appealing in the AMG GT and the natural sound of the AMG V8 is hard to beat. Practically the 911 has a broader offer, including all-wheel drive and more interior space.
The Jaguar F-Type Coupe R is less refined, more hooligan than the AMG GT. Where the AMG GT uses the natural sound of the turbocharged V8, Jaguar used every trick in the book to make the F-Type Coupe R sound like a monster. Where the AMG GT feels very balanced and gives you confidence the F-Type is raw and will make you drift whether you want it to or not. The AMG GT is certainly the better car.
Back to the Porsche comparison, overall the AMG GT is a proper competitor for the Porsche 911 – it will no doubt give Porsche a hard time in sales the coming years. And with new market entries like the McLaren Sport Series and the Maserati Alfieri and the new Audi R8 to arrive next year there are certainly interesting times ahead in this segment!
Conclusion
The AMG GT is without a doubt the best new sportscar in the segment and it is the first car in decades that could truly give the Porsche 911 a run for its money. Stunning looks with a well engineered engine-gearbox-chassis combination are enough to convince us, and even convince existing 911 drivers as we found out during our test drive. Overall we only found the limited interior space to be a drawback for some.
