We recommend

The Mercedes AMG GT is a fully equipped sports car that has the capacity to perform both, on both roads and tracks. The AMG GT also gets optional features to match the likes of the GT S, so the base model is the best choice. But in case you don't mind paying the premium over the standard model, go for the GTS with the Aerodynamic packages, carbon-fiber interior trim, and matte black paint.

“The gullwings are gone, but the GT is still set to swoop in and snag buyers away from its archenemy, the Porsche 911. The GT—along with its roadster counterpart—has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The sense of speed is muted, but the velocities it can attain are breathtaking. “- Car and Driver

The AMG GT drives its power from a 4.0L V8 engine that produces 456 hp and 443 lb.-ft. of torque. It has a 7-speed automatic transmission and a rear wheel drivetrain. Under the price of $112,700, there are several cars that have more power and better acceleration but it not the power it the way the power output is handled and that’s what makes GT coupe so special.

Transmission	7-speed Automatic	8-Speed Automatic	7-Speed Manual
Power	456 hp	550 hp	420 hp
Torque	443 lb-ft	502 lb-ft	368 lb-ft

The AMG GT is not the best in the class, as the Jaguar F-type features a massive 5.0L 550hp V8 engine with 502 lb-ft of torque output makes it the best in the class and the 911 Carrera stays the last when it comes to number of horses but of course that alone does not decides the performance and capabilities of a car.

Acceleration

The Mercedes AMG GT races from 0-60 mph in only 3.5 sec and hits the quarter-mile in 11.6 sec. This is only possible due to its exceptionally engineered body, advanced vehicle dynamic, intelligent power output, and fast-shifting automatic transmission.

0-60 MPH	3.9 sec	3.5 sec	3.7 sec
Quarter mile	11.6 sec	11.8 sec	10.7 sec
Engine	4.0L	5.0L	3.0L

The Mercedes AMG GT and the Jaguar F-type has the same 0-60 mph time as the Carrera stay 0.2 sec behind not to mention the high-performance AMG GT S variant with 0-60mph in mere 3.0 secs.

Ride and Handling

“ The steering is perfectly weighted, the brakes heroic. The GT’s size, however, makes it too big to be truly nimble—and it feels that way from behind the wheel.”- Car and Driver

Well the AMG GT is performance coupe specially engineered to offer track level performance but it is also capable of daily driving. The AMG series is pretty famous for their performance but they have some flaws, which is totally unknown to the GT coupe. The AMG dynamic select features let you choose between Comfort, sport, sport+.

As you switch between the modes the steering response, transmission, suspension and power output changes as the car goes more aggressive and the exhaust gets louder. The AMG GT is so well engineered so that you can hit almost 90% of the throttle while cornering without a body roll. It retractable spoiler increases traction and keeps vehicle stable while cornering or accelerating hard.

Braking

The AMG GT is 3560 lbs. supercar that can do 0-60 mph in 3.9 sec and so it needs some intense braking prowess. The AMG GT is equipped with an AMG high-performance composite braking system which includes 14.2 inch ventilated front and rear disc brakes made of carbon-fiber-reinforced with ceramic for better deceleration and is 40% lighter then brakes of composite materials.

The AMG GT takes only 96 ft. to get from 60-0 mph. and that equals to a race track braking performance. The AMG GT is also equipped with features like 4-wheels anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control, traction control, brake drying and emergency braking preparation/assists for more intelligent and effective braking.

The AMG GT offers an average mileage of 16/22 mpg in city/highway with a combined mileage of 18 mpg. It is not something impressive but for a car that features V8 it is satisfactory, well the mileage also depends on the way and the mode you are driving. Compared to the Mercedes, the Jaguar F-type has almost fuel efficiency while the 911 has an impressive fuel economy.

Cargo Capacity

The Mercedes AMG GT features 12.3 cubic feet of cargo volume which is plenty for a sport coupe, well it is an impressive volume but considering its long and less wide design its versatility decreases a lot, as you cannot store bigger or wider objects, but you can put two golf bags, that works. The boot space is also accessible from the cabin due to a rear side cutout for better rear visibility.

2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT vs Jaguar F-type Coupe

The Jaguar F-type Coupe is a class-leading performance coupe. It features a massive 550 hp V8 engine with 8-speed automatic. When it comes to performance the Jaguar is on the same level as the Mercedes and has same accelerations. The Jaguar is heavy but smaller in dimension and has almost the same fuel efficiency.

On head-on competition, the Jaguar is on the same level as the Mercedes but still is $5800 cheaper than the Mercedes, but $6000 gap for 6 digits cars does not count actually.

2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT vs Porsche 911 Carrera

The Porsche 911 is the smallest in the whole competition. Not only in comparison of size, or space or body height but it also features a smaller 420hp engine with 7-speed automatic and still cost about the same as the Mercedes. The Porsche is indeed the most fuel economical car in the whole class and it also have more overall storage than both cars but the high cost of ownership, hence Mercedes wins.

The Mercedes AMG-GT is a revolution in the AMG lineup and has all the rights to be called a driver’s car. This 6-digit coupe is not only just powerful, or a good looking car, it has the potential to bring out every single horse it owns. The AMG GT is designed in a way to handle daily commute easily while it rule the track.

The GT is not a family car and trusts me they put the passenger’s seat due to the regulation. Other than its performance it is comfortable, well equipped and one of the safest car around. Coming up to the competition the Gt leaves the Porsche in the dust as for the jaguar, it might be powerful or less costly, it is on the same level as the Mercedes when it comes to performance.
