The Mercedes AMG GT lineup has changed names and added tech and power since it was first introduced. We were given a GTC for a couple days during our Atlanta meet-up, and once all the events were over we had a tiny bit of time to put our thoughts on camera. Join us on a great back road in a surprising car.

All our TV shows with full car comparison episodes can be found on Amazon and Vimeo, and films on all formats available here:

  • It's hard for the camera to capture just how wide this car is. When you see it, it just draws your attention because it just looks like something Batman would drive to a casual party.

    I own a 2018 GTC I built to my spec. I love the car, everything you highlighted is true. Just unbelievable.
  • The styling is just timeless. It’s like a modern E-type, the shape is beautiful. More of this future/retro styling please.
  • @GaryDownes
    As a BMW fanboy, I just have to say that this car looks absolutely, jaw droppingly gorgeous!
  • Mercedes nailed the AMG GT from the word go. It's outrageous, beautiful, fast, built like a tank, makes great sounds, and it's pretty rare. It's a wonderful, modern interpretation of a 300SL.

    Me with 50$ in my bank account: Yea I’d definitely consider owning this Mercedes soon

    Fantastic review guys! Makes me want just yearn for one. New semi-attainable dream car? Maybe... You didn't comment much on the interior, but it's one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to sit in. Great, jewel like gauges and switches, fantastic layout with that NACA duct inspired center console, and top drawer Mercedes fit, finish and materials. It makes Aston Vantages (my other segment favourite and long time dream car) seem almost cheap or under-designed. Very much on point, that Mercedes is killing it with all their vehicles these days. Everything from the A220 to the AMG GT and the G63 feels incredible right now. Every product is not just deserving of the Mercedes reputation, but enhancing it, I think. Great stuff as ever, please keep it up. Glad you can still do the podcast while social distancing!
  • @midbestmtb3813
    Awesome review! This is one of my favorite Fast Blasts in awhile. Really exciting car!
  • @jeraldb2868
    Wow. I’m not much of a Merc guy, but man! That is a beautifully brutal looking (and sounding) automobile.
  • @timkruger2775
    Love this! ❤️‼️ Been a Mercedes fan since grade school days!! Thanks for this review!!! Love your show!!! 👍🏻😁

    Watching's Paul's expression change as Todd drives. Usually, you have to be in the drivers seat for a car in the corners to elicit those kinds of smiles.
  • @scoobers90
    Being on the Georgia drive with this car was so fun. I won't soon forget the feeling I got when I saw this car slink around a corner behind me and close the distance. I think few cars on the road have the presence this does, especially in black. It's like Dark Knight Returns era Batman, big and brawny and you know he's gonna beat your head in.
  • @roadhouseguy
    Great content once again. This is the best car I’ve driven. I completely agree with your sentiment on emotion perfection. Side note, you can customise the functions of those quick action buttons on the steering to shortcut any of the centre console buttons. That’s why they are little screens. Also when you turn the ESC off in the GT R the driving mode dial lets you adjust the 9 steps of traction control intervention.
  • @TheEvilPadawan
    Great vid. Love the look and sound of this car. Interior looks dope too
  • With the day I’ve had, arriving around Paul’s erotic descriptions of the AMG GTC, arguable my favorite car, were very welcome. I needed the laugh but I wholeheartedly agree with him, too. If I could drop that money for that car, I wouldn’t think twice.
  • @GottaGoOutside
    This is exactly what I came here for. Good work guys, I hope that someday you get to rock one of these on the 'Bahn!
  • @clubracer6
    Great review for a great car! It felt like Todd enjoyed Paul’s enjoyment of the car more than he enjoyed the actual car. Awesome stuff!
  • @kpblasko
    Is nobody gonna mention the fact that a CPO 2016-17 AMG GT-S can be had for less than $80k? And the interior actually looks better pre-refresh.
  • @miklu26
    Great camera angle when its mounted behind u guys. Great review in general!
  • @misterlob3604
    I always thought the AMG GT's kind of reminded me of a hatch version of the Aston Martin One-77. Maybe it's just me.
