With the one very notable exception of Porsche, big German carmakers don’t make a lot of sports cars. They certainly make plenty of fast cars, but that’s not the same as a ground-up sports car, something the Americans and Japanese have never been shy about building, even when they weren’t very fast. So when a big German company makes a sports car, it’s worth taking a close look at, and then maybe taking a second look at. This is one of those things that is great about XCAR, the reviews usually aren’t the first ones to hit the internet, but they’ve taken the time to think of some points that perhaps the other reviewers left out.
So while Mercedes-Benz advertised the 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT as a 911 fighter, XCAR will tell you that might not be the best way to think of it. The cars are built to do different things, and there is plenty of room in the world for both. That said, it would be difficult to watch this video without coming away feeling that the GT’s take on what a sports car should sound like, at least, is vastly superior. Not many cars have ever sounded better.
