They both are beautiful in their own way. I'd personally go with the AMG GT-S, much more visually stunning on public roads.

@John-yh7th 10 месяцев назад

That's facts my porsche had no eyes on it lol the gts a head tuner

@chrisbrown6759 9 лет назад

I was excited they made a review for the AMG GT vs the 911 but then I go to the damn video and I can't understand anything over the engine noise.

@DK-gz6vw 4 года назад

Exactly.

@dash-ryan 4 года назад

Trust me, you didn't miss anything. Just watch the video and it's obvious which car is the more fun to drive and which one is all business. That's all you need to make up your mind.

@Name-kd5jj 9 лет назад

Why do they always test these cars on a race track? They should test it in the real world, there's more to cars than just lap times. Considering that most people don't live on a race track i would say lap times are irrelevant. Just a quick survey, how many of you live at or near a race track?

@fero102 9 лет назад

Agree on this one.

@Jury1111111111 9 лет назад

G9 Music I do

@Name-kd5jj 9 лет назад

juryjury So you're the one person on earth that lives on a race track.

@Jury1111111111 9 лет назад

G9 Music I live near one. But whether I could afford to visit it weekly, that's whole another question. Thing is, if these cars were tested on road, you wouldn't see them moving around that much. And come on, everyone wants to see these cars at their best. It's dangerous to drive like this on a public road, so you would see them just driving boringly.

@Name-kd5jj 9 лет назад

juryjury Yeah but they tested these cars on a race track ONLY, they pretend like lap times are the only thing that matters.

@leviathan7250 9 лет назад

The new GT should be compared to the Jag F type r. much closer in style price point and beauty. porsches are the fastest cars but not as lust worthy as the F type and gt

@Kaipeternicolas 9 лет назад

Ben Caprara The Jag F Type is dynamically very very different from the AMG GT.

@leviathan7250 9 лет назад

I know but if people are in the market for a gt they are much more likely to consider the f type than the Porsche. Fast beautiful cars that are loud and in your face. The regular gent wants to be noticed in a flashy car not some Porsche that is by far the better dynamic driver's car but not nearly as likely to take it to a track.

@Kaipeternicolas 9 лет назад

Ben Caprara well... maybe. I can't decide between F-Type R and GT3... :/ Even... yes... very different cars, but only one bank account.

@rousseau327 9 лет назад

Ben Caprara What the hell are you even going on about lol, do you even know Porsches?

@prashanthpanicker2890 9 лет назад

Kaipeternicolas The GT3 splits the difference between sports car like the AMG GT and real specialist cars like the 458 Speciale. No F-Type can ever be compared to a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

@lifestyleporsche7976 9 лет назад

Describes exactly the feelings I have when I'm riding my 911 GTS... just another level of handling and of control in any situation (on the race track)! I LOVE IT

@shawncweed 8 лет назад

AMG is gorgeous...and the interior is a work of art...sur, the 911 is a Porsche, which is to say a brilliantly engineered car...but that AMG really gets the blood pumping...wish they would put the E63s mill in there...that would me madness

@MrBrown78 7 лет назад

Shawn Weed what's a "mill" ?

@shawncweed 7 лет назад

***** Mill is another name for an engine...

@M3Conv 9 лет назад

Great video and two things about it; 1. How a car drives is way more important than a lap time 2. Trust this guys opinion more than Steves, pretty unbiased which is what you actually want

@ryanlawson5768 9 лет назад

Why was the AMG GT not compared to the standard 991 turbo, I think that would have been the better match up..

@dash-ryan 4 года назад

The Porsche will always be the safe choice for those who want the pinnacle of driving precision, but the GT is the one that is more fun and, he said it right in the video, the one that will keep you smiling every time you see it in your garage. I guess auto reviewers like these guys have a different definition of what fun is than the rest of us normal blokes who drive normal cars.

@Mjv2175 2 года назад

Probably because they wanted RWD vs RWD

@bryanmurphy3331 8 лет назад

And Yet Mercedes makes the best on both classes 😉

@ChrisDorgan 8 лет назад

Is it just more or did he say he wanted to see which one was faster but then they didn't show any timed laps?! Or are we 'just' supposed to assume the Merc won after they provided the stats. Also using a car nearer the same cost as the Merc probably would have given it a more balanced head to head.

@micinboi9687 8 лет назад

I love both,the problem is i only can only bought one of them.damn i cant focused on my job or my college and spending time looking at youtube comparison and coming back and forth to the showroom to sit on it,look at it and take picture of it. this is going to be the first brand new sports car that i ever bought so kinda big deal to me lol. since i was a kid i always wanted 911 911 911 911 but then came this beastly merc with beautiful ass...oh god!!! are you testing me for my determination to buy my childhood dream?!

@hugorubbish 9 лет назад

I'm glad autocar have done this properly and pitched the AMG against the rear wheel drive GTS instead of other channels with the 4wd GTS

@android61242 9 лет назад

I can actually feel the difference in character between the vehicles through the video. well done.

@dzonetv2168 5 лет назад

Please balance the audio levels between external shots and commentary. And also give Matt a mic for the in-car camera so that his voice doesn't have to battle with the in-car engine noise.

@TheStallion234 9 лет назад

In the same way some people have a face for radio, Matt Prior has a voice for writing. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate him and Autocar for giving us this free content, but 900+ horsepower between the two of them, can we at least get a smile? I realize it's just another day on the job for him, but he's driving two of the most exciting cars on the road for an audience who (for the most part) will never get to even sit in one of these, some enthusiasm would be nice.

@TheFunkyair 9 лет назад

lap time comparison is missing otherwise nice video Matt is on the good way even at 4:56 is it a smile ( a small one ) :)

@Zilvinas021 9 лет назад

5:21 is there the review text? I always thought they do it spontaneously.

@turboman1505 9 лет назад

So the AMG lost against the 4WD Carrera GTS (AutoExpress), the 911 Turbo (EVO) and now against the 2WD Carrera GTS. Yes, the AMG is a good car, but the Porsche is better... END OF STORY.

@turboman1505 9 лет назад

***** Oh not only in Britain. I'm sure MotorTrend will conduct this test as well and the Porsche would win again. Besides Porsche doesn't care to win in Germany. Most of their sales are to the US. Those german magazines know how much people love Porsche, so now they want the US market grow to like the AMG to up sales for Mercedes as well. The British and US magazines are unbiased because they are foreign. Its like the Japanese testing the 911 vs GT-R. OBVIOUSLY they would say the GT-R is better. And anyone who says that is fucking nuts

@rousseau327 9 лет назад

***** It doesn't really matter, because there will always be a 911 that is better. That is just the truth. If the Turbo S doesn't win, the GT3 RS will. If the GTS doesn't win, the GT3 will.

@turboman1505 9 лет назад

ewt415 Exactly. GTS means very little these days considering that cars like the GT3 have more character and is as easy to live with each day. The ONLY thing the 911 GTS has going for it is the fact that you can get it in a manual.

@MRFUCKOFF202 9 лет назад

***** So what the fuck are you subscribed to Autocar for then?

@turboman1505 9 лет назад

***** So what do you have to say about MotorTrend?? Porsche won 3 out of 5 of their last Best Driver's Car of the year competition. Are you saying they are paid as well?? Come on, don't be a fool now.

@AB-sr9mc 2 года назад

the 991 GTS pdk does 0-100kph in 4.0 seconds. not 0-60mph in 4.4seconds... so the 991 is basically the same as the GT to 60mph. at least on paper.

@MrOutPerform 8 лет назад

@LDN13Y 8 лет назад

OMG this reviewer sounds like David Brent from the office! Where do they find these people!? No wonder Clarkson is so loved.

@NoahBB 9 лет назад

The pricing is so strange, there's a 20,000 GBP difference in price over there, yet over here the prices for a GT S and 991 GTS are only separated by 15.000 USD, and once you option up both cars they're within about 5,000 of each other.

@pikinotinoko 9 лет назад

Why not 911 turbo which starts at 120k, same as the GT??

@a-veteranlandscapesitework2413 3 года назад

I see so many Porsches that it has lost the strong appeal of luxury, uniqueness and fun it use to have. Porsche is like a Maserati from a consumer stand point. Everyone has one. I see an average of 12 Porsches a day. And 1 AMG GT a month.

@azmainabrar697 9 лет назад

is the gts... c2 or c4??

@youngprankster94 9 лет назад

Only GTS? Autoexpress had the turbo against the Mercedes...Autocar, your standards are slipping

@Jay-dh9yt Год назад

The Porsche is the real drivers car. It is also the benchmark that other manufacturers are trying to catch up to. I drove everything and nothing comes close to a Porsche sports car for every day use and track fun, not to mention lower cost of maintenance and lower sticker price. From Dodge SRT salesman with Porsche tattooed on his heart

@koenigsegg1237456789 9 лет назад

@Xav911 9 лет назад

The 991 Turbo is much closer in therm of power, torque and price. And it also has turbo. But not the same name ???

@voilemontagne 9 лет назад

this guy sound a bit like a 911 fanboy... even if i like the sound of this 911 gts, i prefere the look of the mercedes and i will take it over the porsche to an everyday basis.

@Gamez4eveR 9 лет назад

lelegume1635 But looks and sound weren't his only ways to evaluate a car.

@voilemontagne 9 лет назад

No rest for the wicked Yes I know that obviously but it was two of his main arguments ;) and he says of both they where great to drive. The other tests said a bit the same thing.

@Gamez4eveR 9 лет назад

lelegume1635 Seriously? He says the GT S is great to drive but he's absolutely ecstatic about the Porsche. The same result for pretty much any other motor-journalist out there. Are motor-journalists exclusively 911 fanboys?

@voilemontagne 9 лет назад

No rest for the wicked no, but i prefered the evo review for example. Despite of using a 911 turbo for the test, i think they were more clear.

@chrissorreda4982 8 лет назад

You don't get it do you. A sports car (911 GTS) will always be more fun than a sporty grand tourer (GT). That's why. Lol argue all you want. You probably want cars based on 1. Looks 2. Specs and that's it.

@respectandlive_6283 9 лет назад

we dont get the Carbon fibre glass bucket seats in the US

@grahamlawton6250 9 лет назад

Suggestion: when the car is making lots of beautiful noise or screeching around the track, perhaps you should try not talking as we cannot hear what you have to say.... I am interested but half the time, I just heard a jumble of sounds. Great cars!

@grey71644 9 лет назад

both are good cars! :)

@izzelyy3189 8 лет назад

The 911 wins just because of the sound it makes. The AMG makes noise, it's not as lyrical as the 911.

@rayaston1728 4 года назад

Ignore the trolls, Matt. Good job as always.

@UmairJaved236 9 лет назад

@a.c.e.7568 Год назад

What a power and torque difference between the two. And since I am a "driver", I prefer a manual transmission, not available in the MB. I love my 991.1 GTS (wink).

@zxtenn 9 лет назад

Maybe I am 'old school' but I wouldn't buy a MB and expect all out performance, I have always thought of them as comfortable, very high class and yes in AMG trim very fast- In a straight line the MB is faster

@raywalteroutdoors Год назад

Only reason I am in the AMG is.... all my neighbors have 911s.

@a.c.e.7568 Год назад

Obviously your neighbors know something about cars.

@carscigarsscotchnwatches5158 8 лет назад

The race track is for comparison purposes. In any case, what pisses me off is that autocar goes to the trouble of running the cars at the track and they do not post times. Just their impressions. They say the 911 is the better drivers car. But what are the track times, that gives me the facts.

@Ghostca 9 лет назад

for a daily that AMG GT is perfect... for a weekend car/track day toy the p car all the way

@VirusTornado 9 лет назад

Richard Basford I'd personally get the Targa-4 GTS. Probably the most versatile and fun of them all. Turbo is stupidly fast though.

@Terraceview 9 лет назад

@John-yh7th 10 месяцев назад

U crazy a gts just as fun and look more exotic

@ICEMANZIDANE 9 лет назад

Tbh after 200k km or more we will see which one is the better car. You have to rev up the porsche to get the power. In the Mercedes its much better solved. The old 63 AMGs were naturally aspirated aswell and still its impossible to damage these engines.

@edgval7241 8 лет назад

@diamondheart4120 7 лет назад

I am a mercedes fanboy and i love merc as much as nothing but what they could add on the gts(😍) is a AWD and some more horsepower for example make it 583 hp instead of 503 that would help it exelerate(sorry for the english in this word) faster even on higher speeds and the AWD would help it kick of the lane keep that place. Yes it would make the car heavier but it would have more fiction(is that right?) and power.So with it's great aerodynamics a AWD and 583bhp it will be a lot faster even if it is heavier

@Maffinnator 7 лет назад

@BD14Cameron 9 лет назад

Haha. This is funny. So I recently watched Evo's track comparison of the AMG GT S and the 911 Turbo. I liked the review and thought it was very informative but I felt as though putting an all wheel drive 911 up against a rear wheel drive GT S was not a fair fight. Fast forward a few days and your video compares the GT S to a closer rival with rear wheel drive as well! (I admit the power difference is vast and maybe that was the reason for the evo's choice in the turbo) Even though it probably should not matter that much to me, especially considering one of the greatest attributes of a 911 is the driving experience, I was looking forward to see lap time comparisons in this video. There were none so I was a little sad, but I'll suck it up and admit that I was happy that yet another motor-journalist thinks that a 911 is still the better 'drivers car.' :-)

@nawzy202 9 лет назад

What kind of comparison was this?? Where is drag test? Braking test? Grip test? Track lap time? Basically you made a video told us your opinion and that was it. We can clearly tell you are a Porsche fan spotted from miles away. But we want numbers i don't care what you think which one is better we car heads want hard data facts
