The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GTC is Retro-Future Done Perfectly - One Take 

this is what the DODGE VIPER would look IF it decided to get a masters degree, learned 3 more languages then wore a tuxedo...

I've seen precisely one GT in the wild and it was probably the most visually stunning car I can remember. The proportions plus satin silver looks like some sort of alien object. Love at first sight

Man I love the AMG GT series of cars. They look great and man they handle well for GT cars. The GTR, PRO, and Black Series are just track monsters.

A dream car for me, everything perfectly in its place. thanks for the review! A note: as a cyclist and a driver, I would have shit my pants on that pass. The distance needs to go up as the speed goes up. 3 ft @ 50+mph closing speed is still dangerous. I get you guys have to light the roads up for what you do, but after having friends killed by canyon runners and such, please be careful. ✌🏾

The 2018 or 2019 GTC is the one to get. No touchpad, louder exhaust with proper Sport+ backfires (that’s gone now), and the much nicer “v8” dials on the center console. Europe and Canada are 2 markets that don’t get the touchpad. I’m sure it’s easy to swap the touchpad for the rotary dial; but again I prefer the older setup which has both a touchpad and a rotary dial.

This is the best version of the AMG GT by far. That body is magnificent.

AMG GT-s is the best car I ever owned. AmAzing performance and handling and can be used as a daily driver when needed.

My dream car.. was the sls (and some amg gt variants) but this model hit me deep down.. for a "supercar" it's so discrete and yet powerful as well as elegant and beastly at the same time. For an everyday ride, this would be my number 1 pick.

You cannot have too much tire. Keeps the enthusiats happy and the average guy alive.

I own a 2018 AMG GTC Cabriolet and its a wonderful vehicle. Interior tech on the 2020 model looks better than mine but I think that the 2018 model sounds better.

Satin blue with chrome accents, front engine, rear drive, and the sweet V8 rumble. Solid spec!

You can literally control everything on the command screen from the thumb pad on the right side of the steering wheel which is fantastic.

I love my GTC, best car I have ever owned

Stunning: yeah. Top engineering: yeah. Awesome: yeah. One thing that is totally overlooked with all modern cars: weight. Nothing beats light weight when it comes to driving experience.

oooh that exterior looks slick

The color and that wide body is a beautiful look

Gorgeous machine, new dream car! Hopefully they'll depreciate sufficiently and I can then afford one in ten years' time 😁

Beautiful Colour and Tone

The blue is gorgeous on that car.

The Most beautiful Car to me

Retro-future is best-future

Dream car model.

Porschephile here, but that is one beastly-looking AMG

Sounds brilliant on those upshifts

"Yeah, this thing rules!". Awesome.

I'll wait 2 years and then pick one up after that 30% + depreciation sets in!

Simply beautiful

Great review, but as far the touch pad is concerned, you can use the touch pad on the steering wheel as well to operate the radio. I thought it was going to be a dealer breaker too, but in driving I think having the touch screen for the driver to operate to be awkward. I was able to use the scroll on the steering well easily. I feel that having a touch screen would be more useful for the passenger to have access to the screen to make changes. Wonderful review and video!!!

Jesus that is a BEAUTIFUL car!!!

How many of these videos have ads dropped in the middle of a launch?

Very good review, I am really considering a gts or gtc, but reliability issues are scaring me away .

I know that road, some of those mid corner bumps are terrible but it is a very very fun road

The most hilarious part about the GT is that the engine cover sits over empty space in front of the engine. Not sure about owning this outside of warranty/maintenance plan - I assume spark plug service is engine out? Also, I’ve driven the GT-R and the 992 Carrera 4S. If you get the AMG, you bought the wrong car by any criterion - sound, performance, fit/finish, anything.

What road is that, it looks like a great road to put on my list to drive next time i'm Stateside.

I really love the look of this car!

What is different from this to the Aston?

id buy the original gtc with the wheel and trackpad vs the facelift with the trackpad

Probably get a Mustang with the 3.7L V-6 for my next car. Gotta stay in my budget.

79" wide?😳 an H1 Hummer is 72"wide!😳 dayuuum!

This is my dream car

New to the channel. I'm guessing this guy really likes Porsche.

Steering is hydraulic. NOT electric!!

Never did the Lexus LFA right?

And the black series?

This was a car review!

I'm 1,78m and look like a 16yo boy and felt a bit claustrophobic when driving a GT with black leather interior... the roadster was a lil better but I got the feeling I could still lick the windshield pretty easily. It really is a tight fit. But the engine.... POWAAAHH

This car seems to have a lot of road noise but it could just be where the mic is positioned. Still agree with the title.

Why Mercedes replaced the perfect scroll wheel with that inane laptop trackpad is beyond me and may be a dealbreaker.

Does this car have reliability issues?

You didn’t mention Vantage

does it have a hey google let me into car feature had to pause vid to rescue brother..

wow where is that road it looks amazing

isn't the gtc a convertible?

How would you describe the drive between this and a 992 C2S?

you do realize you have one of the world's greatest jobs. Right after being a rock guitarist, pulitzer prize winning writer, Joe Rogan's gig where he sits around talking to some of the world's most interesting people... then your gig. Bastard! ;) How would this compare to a Ferrari Portofino? For any car pro's here....welcome thoughts. Thx

Can you do a 2020 Nissan 370Z Nismo? Looking to get into one of those over the 2020 Subaru Wrx Sti

need a proper gimbal for the camera when you spin... that gave me a headache... spinning, up and down LOL

that looks quick

Dunno why, that your old looking notes book is Don 😈

What happen to Zach?

Where would the GTR Black Series be in the 911 line?

Gangster car

Reminds me to much of Bill Thomas Cheetah

Title needs to be fixed but great review!

BMW got rekt hard. They don't have anything remotely as cool as this thing in their modern lineup. And don't say 6 or 8 series because I would still rather have the original 6 and 8 over their remake by a loooooong shot. This looks incredible...favourite Merc ever. I'd just get rid of all the gadgets to take the weight waaaay down, do a sort of CSL version.

Man... that is definitely a German who built that engine.

The sun is so bright. To even things out in the interior during your introductory talk, try to simply turn on the interior lights. Or use proper photo lighting.

For 1 million subs review Gru’s car

Tesla are fast but never look or feel special compared to a car like this. This is just a special car.

he looks like thanos

I know this is 2yrs late, but you know the touchpad is an option, right? Lol. You don't need to order it, obviously whoever ordered this one did.

"....Unlike a Certain Piece of Crap Truck Being Offered by Tesla."

Dayumm ❤

U prepping for that Black for reference. Can't wait!

I bought a 2019 AMG GTC🤤🤤🤤 it's my daily. I fall in love with her every time I see/drive her🥰!

Love the longer interior shots in the beginning with some info voiceover!

Mercedes' paint colors are so gorgeous with that slight satin finish

just a stunning car! I especially like the side profile of it! it's almost e-type-esce^^

Auto brands rise and fall over time, but Mercedes is at one of those high points compared to their competitors. As much as I love the BMW of old, AMG is just on a whole different level in recent years.

I’ve started liking these things more and more as time goes on. Cool car.

The Germans just know how to do it man

Already seeing an increase in subs since the second channel went live.

So glad you finally reviewed the AMG GTC! I would take this over the 992 at the same price ANY DAY. The 2018 and 2019 model years are the ones to get - louder exhaust with more pops and bangs on Sport+ and no touchpad! And proper knobs in the console, which mimic a V8!

Wonder what the 1 mil subs video will have... maybe a factory tour, a Pagani Review, Koenigsegg review???

I believe randy pobst still recognizes the amg gtr as the best driving car hes ever been in, these are so underrated

Damn,those AMG motors sound sooooo good!!👌🏽

What an absolute beast.

Thanks for this review; this is definitely my "accessible" dream-car, and it felt strange seeing no one review it.

Does anyone actually win these Omaze grand prizes?

I think it goes gt3 = gt r. Gt3rs = gt r pro. And gt black series = gt2rs

The best looking GT on the market

I like how you reference your notes. Seems more legit, haha. Seriously though.

When Mercedes says, "Hey, lets make a reverse porsche"

Buy it in Canada. We get the scroll wheel, not the touch pad, it makes *all the difference*!

Hi Matt, remember I bought 991 Carrera S after watching your review? Well, I switched to AMG GTS in 2017 and I never regretted. Look at yourself in that German hotrod. This is our car, bro!

In 2016 I drove a 911 GTS, Cayman GTS, Corvette Z06 and an AMG GTS. While the Porsches are likely the more "approachable" cars in terms of extracting their full potential on the street, the AMG was the only car I couldn't stop thinking about after I drove it. The Corvette was a strong performer, in the way a madam can make squeal. However the AMG is the entire "bring home to mom" package. It has exotic "park it up front" looks, an interior that oozes opulence like the Ritz-Carlton, and the engine note is entertaining without being overtly obnoxious or understated. Outside of a very loose exterior comparison to the Viper, there's really nothing on the road like it. The AMG GT series cars a truly stunning in person; in every way.

The GTC is closest to the 911 GT3 Touring, not the GTS, because the GTC has the same engine and transmission as the GTR. The 911 GTS has the same engine as the 911 S, it’s just a trim package, really. The GTC/R is significantly different from the GT/S.

Came back to this after watching the first few reviews of the new 2024 AMG GT… this thing really was a high point for modern day Mercedes and definitely would take one of these over a new one

This Magno blue colour is sooooo beautiful!

Glad you are building a relationship with Mercedes reps. Also thanks for explaining the model variances... such a confusing naming convention.
