Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
The AMG GT, in coupe and roadster body styles, rivals the Porsche 911 with breathtaking performance and handling. Under the hood, we find a twin-turbo, 4.0-litre V8 engine that produces 550 or 577 horsepower, while the GT R variant is a true track beast with a firmer suspension and aerodynamic add-ons. Despite all this, the GT can coddle its occupants with a leather-lined cockpit as well as a choice of interior colours and trim finishes.
