When it comes to two-seat sports cars, few make an impression like the 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT. Sleek yet aggressive, the AMG GT looks part fighter jet and part classic grand-touring car. The military hardware comes in the form of a turbocharged V8 fitted underneath GT's long hood. Mercedes offers it in three different states of tune, with 577 horsepower at its most potent.
That won't necessarily raise a whole lot of eyebrows considering you can get more power from a Mustang or Camaro these days, but this engine has gobs of high-revving V8 personality. Plus, in handling, the GT is easily on par with any of today's top sports cars from Audi, Jaguar and Porsche.
In the grand-touring vein, you'll find an interior filled with premium materials and the latest features you expect from Mercedes. This year's car also features a few updates such as a standard 12-inch driver display, a new steering wheel design, and an updated infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
It's true that the AMG GT doesn't live up to a "grand touring" moniker as well as you might hope. The seats aren't very comfortable, for instance. And when you do take a long trip, pack lightly: There's a comically small amount of trunk space. In general, a Porsche 911 is going to be the more accommodating sports car. But it's also fair to say the 911 isn't as evocative as it used to be either. The GT delivers more memorable performance and style with just the right amount of Germanic order.
Which AMG GT does Edmunds recommend?
2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT models
The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT is a rear-wheel-drive sports car available in coupe and convertible body styles. The GT, GT C and GT R are common across both, while the hardcore GT R Pro is only available on the coupe. That said, the GT R convertible and GT R Pro coupe are both limited to 750 units each worldwide, so don't expect to see one at your local dealership.
