First Look: Mercedes AMG GT

Few cars have commanded such a fanfare as Mercedes have spawned during the build-up to the 2015 release of the jaw-droppingly quick; AMG GT. A vehicle with a sharp exterior design, characterized by a classy low bonnet and a fearsome grille adorning the trademark Mercedes Benz badge. The vehicle is already being hailed as one of the best super-cars of modern times, and there are few finer sights than seeing the vehicle glide effortlessly along the beaten tarmac. Partnering handsome exterior looks, and a rip-roaring engine the vehicle is truly incredible. It's been touted as a serious rival to the highly regard Porsche 911, classy Jaguar F-Type R, sleek Aston Martin Vantage and fluidly handling R8. On first impressions it's obvious that the hype and excitement is not without substance, and arriving in August 2015, there is already a backlog of orders for the most special of vehicles.

The manufacturer is finely poised to form it's pitched battle with the super-car manufacturers of the world with an advert during the National Football League's premier event: The Super Bowl. The advert while a little baffling, is hoping to jump out at potential customers bored with the dullness of the traditional car advert.

Mercedes, often regarded as a byword for superb engineering continue their amazing reputation and glowing accumen with the GT boasting a 4.0-litre V8 engine and packing 456bhp. That means top speeds of 193mph and the ability of hitting 62mph in a mere four seconds. So, your initial feelings may be that this vehicle is fairly quick - and you'd be right. Producing 650Nm of torque and 1,750rpm the vehicle handles smoothly, and with uncomprimising coolness that could only be achieved in a Mercedes vehicle.

From the outside it's clear that Mercedes have taken a great deal of their styling from the SLS with a dashing exterior that combines so many exclusive features, that it could scarcely be from any other manufacturer. You'll have a choice of chrome or carbon detailing, plus a host of options to tailor the vehicle to even your most outlandish preferences. In a homage to early Mercedes super-cars there remains a significant amount of interior styling, including a lavish centre console, and a luxurious interior packed with expensive leathers, high-class craftmanship and an ornate steering column. The vehicle is perfectly refined, and though it's top-speed and handling begs for an open plain or professional circuit, it'll handle more than comfortably on rougher roads and smooth tarmac.

The AMG GT performs well in terms of practicality, a cosy cabin is complemented by a roomier boot and solid driving position, and while it's not meant as your average family car, it won't break to any rigorous lifestyle demands.
