Anyone ordered an AMG GT-S yet?

[GTer]

A friend saw one out and about in London. Anyone got theirs yet??

UK reviews coming through. Two positive, one less so. I think that almost all the cars tested have had dynamic engine mounts which apparently can make the car ride a little harsh. Personally I'm hoping the Comfort setting is reasonably forgiving on poor roads.

I don't think it'll specifically be the dynamic engine mounts that makes the ride harsh, but the fact the only way to get them is to spec the Dynamic Plus Package which also spec's stiffer springs.

Good to see some UK reports coming through (finally!) but a surprise that Top Gear are less than enthusiastic given how strongly it performed on their track (which they allude to).

[GTer]

Ah yes the dynamic plus pack, you're right.

The Top Gear review does read a little subjective. One month today for me. Can't wait.

FYI, delivery dates on the very early cars appear to have slipped ... mine was supposed to be delivered on the 24th (Friday this week), but the build date slipped 10 days.

That's early. Where did you order yours from?

Brooklands ... ordered it what seems like an age ago (put down a speculative deposit before any official announcements etc that the car existed)

We have one in reception at the moment and another parked out the front.

They look immense.

So should all dealers now have them?

[jimi]

I don't believe so yet - I work at the HQ - the dealers should be getting them shortly though.

Got any at a normal angle. That picture is making me feel queazy!

Here you go.

The Chelsea MB dealer should have one in their showroom from the middle of next week.

My build week is 13 May. No delays coming through as yet.

Yes, Brooklands got theirs yesterday, so sounds like they're coming through properly now.

Good news on your build date

Oooh interesting. Do you know if it's it on display yet? Might pop down there tomorrow.
