They haven't released the weight yet, I doubt the 6kw battery and motor has added 600kg to the 63's 1970kg weight probably around 200kg, so it's heavy, very heavy but close to 2600kg I doubt it.

Mercedes seem to be masters at making their interiors look cheap and chintzy though and this one follows that trend.

Yeah I just googled the weight so maybe not authoritative. That said according to evo the hybrid guff added 260kg to the 2022 4 door 63 SE Perf so....

At first glance I honestly thought that was a 911!

The rear is fantastic, but the rest is meh. The inside looks like a bottle of matey bubble bath!

SLS, a 20k bork fund, and 50k change for me.

Absolutely, i think the SLS still looks fantastic and a proper old school AMG V8. A whole lot of meh for this from me, so many more options for the price.

Having actually ran an SLS bank in the day and there is literally no way I could ever be convinced have another - it was genuinely the least enjoyable and most impractical car of any I've ever had to daily. Yes, the engine sounded great and all that but for me, that was really the only good thing about it.

This, on the other hand, really does it for me. I loved the first-gen AMG GT, this one seems more of the same with some added practicality and of course more performance.

I think that it is a good looking car, well on the outside at least and like the colour and think that it suits the car. Surely they could have put the flap for the charger somewhere else though, ruins the aesthetics of the rear.

A 911 with its mouth open in surprise after they told it what it weighs!.

Unless it swallowed the 911 whole, hence the weight.

It does weigh the same as 2 964 RS's!

I would never buy any car with a stupid iPad screen just thrown at the dashboard...

I agree. Absolutely awful. I love the exterior though, think it looks great and almost certainly better in the metal.
