Mercedes AMG GT (2016 SLS "successor"?)

[Omnis]

And you wouldn't with the Mercedes?

No, no, you missed it. It's the other way around.

 

[JMoney]

Have we already forgotten about the SLS?

Not sure how that happened...

Well the rear is...

Ugly.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Rear end is ugly. It's just a bit too anonymous and conservative.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I wouldn't call it ugly, but it's very boring in my opinion.

 

[alonsof1fan91]

The S Class Coupe looks alot better and IMO more unique - as mentioned earlier in this thread the AMG GT front resembles the SL alot.

That a wonderful rear end the S coupe has.


I hope MB - uuuhm sry, Mercedes-AMG release that sportier edition with a rear wing soon.

Edit: It really hurts me as a MB fan when the new Miata looks more exciting then the car which replaced the SLS.

Oh, and the name bothers me. I think it's the first ever Mercedes that doesn't have a number in it's name (except the CLK-GTR) yet they still didn't give it an actual name, just an overused acronym that has appeared in different trims on probably 25% of the world's sports cars.

The first 4 Mercedes models ever built to begin with did not have numbers (K, S, SSK, SS).

Spoilers aren't going to save that rear end.

 

[JAHHAJ]

While I like the rear end, it seems to me if the the rear bumper was smaller it would look better.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

No. Yellow does not work on Mercedes. Honestly, anyone who drives a car that looks like that is going to look like a total knob.

Is an GT3 version of this car announced yet?

Is an GT3 version of this car announced yet?

I think one should come in the next couple of months, along with the F1 Safety Car version.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Now that I think of it.. That side profile reminds me of Chrysler Crossfire.

Thank you that's what this reminds me of, I kept looking and wondering "where have I seen this before?" I kept thinking certain new age Bimmer but that wasn't enough.

I cannot get over how much this looks like a 911, seriously if you remove the front that's what you've got with bigger alloy's.

I was thinking Cayman but 911 works, it's like a hodgepodge of sports cars...

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

It does have magnificent proportions, but it's too soft.

 

[McLaren]

Just don't see a Crossfire or 911 in that rear personally, as the AMG GT isn't designed with 1 smooth/curved line down the rear.

I don't see a Crossfire in it at all either, that car is very angular where as this is all curvy.

Reminds me more, overall, of a Weissman.

The Merc has a very similar shape but overall better looking in my opinion.

 

[JohnBM01]

Okay- the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT looks very subtle in design. But sometimes, simple and subtle can still be beautiful. That's why (for example) I praised the SRT Viper team for rocking the old red Vipers with white stripes like the Team Oreca Vipers of the mid-2000s. If I may say so... the sides and the rear kind of appear Porsche-like rather than Mercedes-Benz. The AMG GT can use some more aggression in its design. But as it is, it is a beautiful car. I can already imagine some bonkers designs for if we see a Black Series version of this car or a GT3 version of it or something.

It looks simple and boring, but I think it looks beautiful. At least what I consider beautiful in car design. I wear glasses, but even I know beauty when I see it.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Apparently the AMG GT that was recently spied with a fixed wing is for the upcoming launch model Edition 1, not a Black Series.

[E28]

I'm sorry, but I think this thing looks bloody ugly. There's just something... off about the proportions to me, and that back end has all the same issues as the S-Class Coupe, the main one being those tail-lights. And don't get me started on the centre console in the interior.

It does look a bit better with a rear wing though.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Yeah, the wing does seem to balance the design a bit more. Still not a fan of those headlights though, especially the three little jewel LEDs in the bottom edge.

 

[Keef]

This thing looks so much than the SLS could've ever looked. Only problem is it makes hella lift so it has to have an active wing at minimum. I think I prefer flared rear ends like the Viper.

 

[alonsof1fan91]

I`m sorry Keef, but while this car looks like a teenager SLK and SL had unprotected sex, the SLS is one of the most beautiful cars MB ever made:

(don`t ask me why this one has a bentley license plate lol)
