MERCEDES-AMG GT S 2017

magnifying the brawny design of AMG’s flagship sports car, while its disposition on the road seems intimidating, even if that is far from the case in real life.Underneath the long bonnet is an AMG built 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 which now, in the updated model, produces 384kW at 6250rpm and 650Nm at 4750rpm. It has some serious shove and propels the GT S from a standstill to 100km/h in 3.8 seconds.

Description

As its name suggests, the GT is a grand tourer which feels at home chewing up long curving roads effortlessly. And it’s so docile when cruising or at low speed that it would make a completely viable daily driver.

We only spent minimal time around traffic during our first drive of the facelifted version but the GT is also a magnet for attention, noticeable more so with the bimodal sports exhaust enabled.

Further out from Melbourne we sampled some mixed country roads where the GT S was able to stretch its legs and open its lungs. The engine’s power delivery is glorious and complimented by a sophisticated adaptive suspension and chassis which underpins razor sharp handling.

There’s a noticeable difference when flicking the adaptive suspension between comfort and Sport+ settings. Where some sports car’s comfort mode remains too firm, the compliance in the GT S feels as though it’s almost tuned to some of Australia’s rougher (and common) country roads. Comfort suspension is still firm and dynamic, however, and body roll minimal.
