Reminds of a BMW Z4 Coupe

 

I think it actually is a pretty nice package. Def give a good alternative to the 911 S and the 911 GTS.

But no, it's no GT3!

 

Black series > GT3RS?
S > GT3

little heavier but if you want lightweight manual theres the Cayman GT4...

 

good for mercedes....

but, meh for me....

 

No, I think the GTS-S is more akin to a 911S or turbo. The Black Series is more like a GT3. I just don't see Mercedes going as extreme as an RS.

 

Not feeling that car.

 

I love the car, but maybe because I'm such a Mercedes / AMG fan....

 

Racecar feel, not GT feel...

 

^ Interesting video. The last one I saw they were saying it was more of a "GT" type of car.

I will say this - At the Chicago Auto show in Feb my favorite 2 cars was the Ford GT and the Mercedes AMG GT S. They had the Mercedes in a Metallic charcoal grey and I must admit it looks really good in person. Very upscale but yet sporty looking. My Wife actually loved it and asked if I would get rid of my Match box car (GT3) and get the Mercedes. Aint going to happen!!!!!

 

I watched some European reviews before and they seemed to all agree its a hard core sports car. More so than the 911, but maybe not like a GT3...

As the next EVO test will show, more of a TT competitor, its a TT after all, just no AWD, so more like a GT2 or more like a next years' 911 C2TT?!

 

^If you have not seen it live you will be quite impressed when you do

 

meh. ive seen it on street and at show and its nice looking but nothing that special. as to driving, my guess is its a german muscle car like all amgs are. german z06 or better yet viper.

and i did hear him say its 'like a race car' but i would focus more on his comment that 'transmission little slow to downshift'. thats kiss of death to me for an automatic car and a problem with all amgs including black series ones

 

Just as ugly as I remember it from last year. If you even consider this over a GT3, it is diagnostic.

 

OT a little, but have you driven the GLA45? Going to test drive one today as a small, but somewhat practical 4-door to add to the garage. Primary duty will be school runs etc, but seems hard to not get the AMG version for the extra $20k...

 

I've been in the driver seat and was shocked by how little view out of the car. The windshield provides a slit like view of the road. Don't know, maybe I expected something else.
