Looks good, but it's a crying shame lol that you still can't build one online.

That's putting it mildly.
It is effin embarrassing for MBUSA to have this outdated website, especially when compared to Porsche which has instant changes done along with any new model intro.

Yep I've said this many times. Porsche does it within a day or hours when a new car is introduced. Even at a overseas motor show, the U.S. site is ready to go. I don't understand why Mercedes can't get with the program.

My dealer got one, Currently trying to convince my dad to get it or a friend of mine lol. Its super nice in person, one thing I miss is that the cls 63 was alot sleeker design and I know they are not the same plateform. But this gt63 is so huge, looks and feels bigger than the s class.

I saw the car last year in Beverly Hills showroom but did not get the same impression, seemed rather small next to the S560 on the floor.
Felt pretty compact and tight inside, to be honest.

I have a 2018 S63 and a 2019 G and this car blows them both away. Having AMG design this from the ground up is what makes this car so good. It isn’t a redesigned Mercedes. It’s a true AMG

I had a 2017 C 63s Cabrio that I loved but this car kills it. It’s a true AMG designed car not a redesigned Mercedes. It’s also twice the price but in my opinion well worth it

I have both a 2018 S63 and the the new GT 63 S. The s63 is a beautiful Mercedes. Very luxurious and still fun to drive. This car is a beast. It is a true AMG. Not as luxurious as the S but it’s a much better sports car for four people. It’s not as comfortable. It’s not much smaller but feels so much more agile and quick.

They are actually all on the same platform, more specifically the AMG GT 4-door is on the E-Class wagon version of the E/CLS platform because of the reinforced build of the wagon.

thats correct. I paid a little over $200k for mine. I’m currently doing a stage two tune and turbo upgrade which is supposed to get me to about 900 horses at the crank.

I use C2 designs for everything. Chris is excellent and local Mercedes dealer honors all warranty if he tunes your car. He has done my C63S S63 G550 Audi R8 and now will be doing the GT 63s. One thing I have learned is that I will not delete the CATS anymore. I did it in my C63s and the smell just wasn’t worth the extra few horses. I have not deleted them in any of my other cars.
