2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S

The AMG GT is Mercedes' dedicated sports car, a front-engine grand tourer that goes up against the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin Vantage. It's a car that rewards smooth inputs, with a long hood and a rear-biased feel that makes every corner an event. The ride is firm but compliant on the highway, and the cabin stays quiet enough for long-distance cruising. There's a usable trunk and a surprisingly comfortable cabin for two, though rear seats are tight in the coupe. The 63 S is the one for buyers who want the full AMG GT experience with four doors and all-weather traction, stepping past the standard 63 with more power and standard active rear steering. Its 3.0L V8 makes 630 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that can send all the torque to the rear wheels in Drift mode, and it returns 17 mpg combined. The AMG Performance Exhaust with dynamic flaps is standard here, letting you dial up the V8's bark from subtle to aggressive at the press of a button.
