If you think people buying Dodge Vipers are choosing them over this or any of the above mentioned cars, you're mistaken.

I was merely asking the question but your response is even stupider.

No doubt you already have your deposit down for a "new TVR", a car which is clearly going to sell like hot cakes.

Having driven the AMG-GT with Formula 1 driver, Paul DiResta, it's my opinion that the car is "fast" but has very little else to offer for its hefty price. I'd take a mid-engined car from McLaren instead any day of the week. The AMG-GT is for fat cats who want to be seen in something further up-market than Merc SL.

Remember the Merc SLS? That's right, very low sales.

Apart from thon sticky up screen thing on the dash and if it drives right, I could live with that forever.

[DuckAvenger]

This modern merc styling just isn't for me. Looks horrible just like the other mercs.

[Lagerlout]

Love it, looks like a beast.

[Porsche911R]

What a car, it looks mega imo.

Oh. Yes.

Just maybe not in that green...

I'll second that. Black, silver or grey would suit the car.

[sh33n]

I defo prefer th standard car, this looks far too fussy and has ruined the sleek good looks.

Why is this an R also and not a black?

[10speeduk]

Mango hell green!

That side profile looks like a 911 that's told lots of lies!!

This is a car you can either polish the turd or fill it full full or steroids.

AMG has cHosen the latter. As always.

It still is a turd.

Hi there,

If you have 15 mins to watch this it's well worth it.

Mercedes certainly know how to launch a car

Fixed it for you. The demographic of most supercar owners is exactly the same. Its only the outliers of all owners who would say, go for a 5am blast up to Wales or do a trackday. Perhaps McLaren owners are slightly more enthusiastic but I suspect there's not much in it. And a well-driven AMG GT will certainly see off a shoddily-driven 570S

[robemcdonald]

Can you get it without the rear wing?

[Timbola]

fk me that looks spectacular

what a beast

[sunsurfer]

I like that green.
Black, grey, silver and all that are the dull corpulent corporate choices.

[Lagerlout]

Good pics on here.

Mucho want.

Nobody thinking Hulk?

[big_rob_sydney]

I'd be genuinely curious to know what competitors this has on price, and on performance. As you know, the GTR is a favourite car of mine, and I know the straight performance stats favour the Nissan. I suspect the price will as well.

I'm sure we'll get that chestnut of demographics, though.

[Turquoise]

Love it!

[deltashad]

Shmee has ordered one so I don't like it.
