The 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT is a bold, unlikely move aimed squarely at the Porsche 911.
And it's a move AMG has completely succeeded with, at least in terms of design and performance.
That’s not to say the sleek, stylish lines don’t pay homage to the incumbent; on the contrary. There are hints of the 911 throughout the AMG GT’s exterior design, but most especially at the rear, where the thing, semi-crescent tail lights and smooth, round forms produce a definite hint of the thing to be left, well … behind. At the nose, and from the side, however, there’s much more to remind the viewer of the previous SLS AMG GT, the qullwinged predecessor of this very similar yet very different car.
