New Mercedes AMG GT vs The Cheapest AMG GT You Can Buy // DRAG RACE, REVIEW + LAP TIME 

600+ lbs lighter and RWD has me wanting to drive the 1st gen far more.

Damn it’s a c63s in disguise. I felt that 😂

I KNEW in my bones Thomas was going to fall in love with the last gen GTs. I wondered why it never got its own video, but he did admit he was sleeping on how good it was. Now I just need him to drive the GTc, GTr, and the GT Black Series in probably an Extra TH video. PLEASE!

Gosh that first gen AMG GT is so frickin beautiful that it hurts

Nothing can beat the sheer elegance and ferocity of the 1st gen AMG GT

“Plugs are for butts” - James, June 2024 💀😭

To sum it up, these are some bullet points on the new AMG GT compared to its predecessor: - They added 350 Kg (770lb), in the sports car world that's an absurd amount of added weight - They ditched the transaxle design - They ditched the dry sump system - They ditched the front-mid engine layout - They ditched hydraulic steering - They made it AWD - Oh, it now has a big iPad center screen, yay! I guess its now truer to its Gran Turismo name tag but still. It's wrong on so many levels...

The best AMG GT63 review on the internet, hands down! Finally, someone mentioned how much better the old GT is compared to the new GT in terms of performance. However, it would be a much better comparison if they used the GT R versus the GT63. Both have the same turbo size, rear-wheel steering, and push 577hp. Their MSRPs are the same as well.

"It throttles you until you stop throttling it, kind of, I kind of like it in like a BDSM kind of way." James - June 2024. 🤣🤣

I much prefer the Old Mercedes AMG GT actually

26:12 is just what other car reviewers can't replicate. The humor, personality, chemistry.

For reference: a humvee weights in around 5300lbs the new amg is around 1000lbs less

23:43 EQewww broooo give an edior bonus for that xD

More power, faster, newer More is not always better The old one is just a much better looking, better proportions, more of a Mercedes AMG GT

26:50 James: And this car, unlike that one, can come with a 2+2 configuration. Thomas: Right, 'cause it's not a sports car. James: ... 🤣🤣🤣

There's a guy near me selling an '88 SL500 in red for ~$8k and I'm so so tempted. Such a gorgeous, timeless, special looking car. Looks like it rolled out of a movie.

Soooo much better than the Straight Pipes! Thomas and James are filling the Clarkson, May, and Hammond gap.

The best car review channel by far 💙

Just got 16 gts a couple months ago and it’s hard to beat what it has to offer at the current price range. Not to mention you get can so much more power out of it with a tune, love the car 🙌

Every time James introduces himself "And I'm James!", he reminds me of Team America... "Maaaat.... Daaammmoon".

Perfect way to start a work day

I wont forget, it won 2016 drivers car of he year when it first came out over a 911 and everything else

Wow the GT3 RS casually snacking a race car on slicks 😂

Thomas KILLED this episode. He's so genuine and amped when he really loves a car. His driving review was pure passion. I can't wait for him to get a hold of the Black Series, it will be a modern Viper ACR video (their best video, yet IMO)

I'd much rather the old GT. I've driven some of them and they are so good to drive. Not to mention they look so much cooler

I have a '16 GTS (same color!) that I daily drive. After owning everything from a Porsche GT4 to a GT350 to Corvettes and endless modified vehicles, it's probably my favorite. Absolute steal for the price.

The old one really is just sooo much more special

You guys in America don't know how lucky you are to be able to drive without front license plates. The car looks so much nicer without them. I work for Mercedes in Stuttgart. As an employee, I can say that we are very proud of our product. But I also understand what you mean by the change in philosophy. Don't forget that the direct competitor is the Porsche 911. I guess that's why it was important to enable a good lap time. Greetings from Stuttgart. The automobile heart of Germany.

As a former AMG GTS owner, I definitely feel a profound sense of sadness about the direction Mercedes has decided to go with their entire lineup of vehicles. Too digital - Mercedes now collects data on you (see Mozilla's privacy report) data that can influence the price of your insurance. Every car in the lineup has too many tech gimmicks, like expensive screens and haptic buttons that nobody likes. They're subjectively less beautiful, lines softened that otherwise defined AMG's muscle. Call me old fashioned if you'd like, but there's a beauty in analog gauges and a screen-less driving experience. Love you Mercedes, but we're over for now. xoxo

the new GT looks like a FType

welp time to add another one to my autotrader watchlist

The best AMG GT review. For this price, I prefer the new Vantage and 911. Or I’d take an old first-gen AMG GT.

No better feeling than farting away a stomachache

It would've been interesting to see it go against the old GTR instead of the GTS. Same horsepower, less weight, and even more of a stunner

"the all new amg gt.....just buy a 911"😂

I thought i recognized the old one. THANKS NEAL!!

The new Vantage refresh seems like the better car for the money now.

I have to comment again guyz, what a great review!! Wow. I will watch this review many many times. I can't put my finger on it but for some reason this video of yours was the best one for me. Perfectly consistent I guess this was...Strange how this has become my favorite with Mercedes cars.

My favorite channel for a while now, love you guys. Another banger. ❤

the reason behind all of this is weight and bulkiness that this is basically a coupe version of the new sl

Favorite types of videos from you guys!

Great review and a very bold ending for which alone you guys deserve 👏👏

Always a great program!!!! Keep it up guys! Cheers...

Epic opening!…..to a great comparison review! 👍👍

you had me at the fart joke

As always this was a great video and overall car review, kept me glued to my screen the whole time. Can’t help but notice improvements in things like cinematography and the way some of the shots are filmed, feels like a high production tv show or movie at times.

Really enjoying these comparisons between new and old!

I agree with everything, but actually the amg gt3 racecar doesn’t have the 4,0 v8 but the old 6,2 one

Sweet mother of god, that rear at 20:25 😳

I love this series yall are doing!

Guys, the production is on another level: picture, sound, script. It’s a pleasure to watch and listen. Great work❤

The stare at 31:14 actually made me laugh out loud

Old one looks newer

I've been waiting for this comparison!

The cinematic of throttle house and cut scenes is really top tier

I'd take the 70-ish fewer hp, 550 lbs less mass, 70% cheaper GT. Every single time. It looks good, but the 63's curb weight is insane.

Another Banger From Throttle House! 💯💪🏽💯

Bloody hell guys, you have nailed this comparison ...

Congrats on about to hit 3 million subscribers. Well deserved fellas. 🎉

And the old one looks so much better too

James looked like he saw a demon escape out of Thomas’ sneeze

When Thomas was explaining how GT S drives, It felt like I am really driving it. Amazing narration Thomas!✌🏼

James’ cool whip down changes 👋🏻🔥 love it

The new one has nothing to do with being an AMG GT. I hate this strategy Mercedes is doing. It's actually the successor to the SL and the GT and therefor combining them.

Car enthusiasts, unless multi millionaires rarely buy new cars. New cars are sold much as jewellery. Hence, every manufacturer looks for sales, and very, very rarely, do we get the genius brains, incredible engineering, and tech applied to proper lightweight cars.

The video I‘ve been waiting for

"James, be honest-" LMAO

Great video, as always, but wanted to give a shout-out to whoever your sound guy is... the background music during the drives was very will done! Thx Throttle House!

Been looking around for a 2017-2018 amg gt love this video came out today.

Very creative, great review!

3million incoming!!!!

Your vibe is infectious, love watching your content!

Ok...the intro had me in stitches. Well done, lads.

I admire how you can shit on cars without shitting on them. The critic is well disguised yet plainly obvious if you want to look for it.

Peak German cars with style and performance were from 2008-2016 prove me wrong that was the sweet spot the only German brand that is still peak is Porsche btw that new Mercedes is ugly but the older one is iconic I remember driving it in Forza

2017-2018 amg gt c edition 50 roadster in designo graphite grey magno.. *chef's kiss*

The older I get, the more I appreciate front-engine design and usability. My DD for the last three years has been a C7 Z06 Corvette. While it is extremely usable due to massive trunk space, it is still very inconvenient. Having to take certain routes or avoid locations that cause me to scrape my nose is exhausting. After DDing this car for years, I finally just added a Mazda CX-70 to my garage, and it's making me dislike my Z06 more and more every time I drive it. Performance-wise, absolutely no question. The Z06 is a freaking monster. I even went for the Turbo S model of the CX-70 to keep some of that sporty feel. But it doesn't compare to the raw, on-the-bull-for-8-seconds feeling of flooring the Z06. But that level of inconvenience surely cannot overcome the inconvenience of higher performance, mid-engine supercars. More and more, I'm learning that cars like Lambos, Ferraris, etc. are horrible daily drivers. I'd honestly rather have a ~$80K luxury-performance sedan or SUV over a LaFerrari. My dream garage ATM would have to be a C6 ZR1, an SLS AMG (love the AMG GT, but SLS is timeless), a Bentley Bentayga, and a Ford Raptor. Hypercars are cool to see and ridiculous to experience in a track setting. But real world? Not usable.

These guys are the absolute best, the outro killed me😂

Green hell magno AMG GTR with yellow breaks and seat belts ❤..previous gen

I haven't laughed that hard over a simple fart joke since I was in Middle School!

almost 3 million subs! congrats guys!!

Previous gen AMG GT is my fav car I'm so happy it finally made it in a TH vid!

Tfw just one ECU tune on the old AMG GT and it would destroy the new one in a roll save 140k for the old one plus tune and bang

Such a good channel!!

I love you guys for living your best lives.

I prefer the previous model

‘We all know plugs are buts’ ffs😂😂

I just freaking love these guys😅 I was a hater early on but they are hilarious now that they are out of their shell.

Nah 8:44 is outrageous 💀

Didn't watch the video yet but I know it'll be great 🎉❤

an absolutely beautiful review

Yes! LAP TIMES! Can't remember the last time you guys did one

I will never understand the C43 version of this,that used to mean it's a 4.3V8 not a 4cylinder

"Affalterbach" On The AMG Logo Is A Town In Germany, Which Means "Apple Tree Stream." The Town's Coat Of Arms Features An Apple Tree With Red Apples On A White Field, With A Wavy Blue Line At The Base. This Coat Of Arms Is Also Featured On The Left Side Of The Mercedes-Benz AMG logo, With A Line Below The Tree Representing A River.

These are gorgeous. Either of these with a tune, exhaust, and turbos would be an absolute dream to own.

That’s what I love about throttle house they give us the funny out take sneeze 🤧 at the end 😂

Didn’t realize that the AMG had such a gassy exhaust until that intro.

🚥 I understand the usage case for going hybrid on all these newer models…save some co2 emissions but the weight is getting out of control. I have a 4.0 Bentley Continental GT that makes 1000 horsepower and 1200 foot pounds of torque ALL motor😏No hybrid…but hey different strokes for different folks 😂

I got to drive the old AMG GTR at the AMG Driving Experience. It was an absolute blast around the Road Atlanta track.

THE best intros in the game 👌👍
