- Delivered across Sydney
- Bond and fees shown before you pay
- Never swapped to a lesser car
The new AMG GT is not a replacement for the old one so much as a different answer to the same question. It keeps the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, adds a second pair of seats and drive to the front axle, and grows into a grand tourer that will cross the state in a day and still put on a show at the other end. It is confirmed by request, so tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly whether we can deliver one.

Specifications

The number to notice is not the 430kW, which the original AMG GT R also had. It is the
3.2 seconds, which the rear-drive original could not get near, and the 2+2, which it never
offered at all.
What It Is Actually Like in Sydney
It has become a grand tourer, and it is better for it
The first AMG GT was a two-seat sports car with a long bonnet and a short temper. This one
shares its platform with the SL, drives all four wheels, and has grown in every direction.
The result is a car that feels planted rather than nervous, that rides properly on the broken
surface of Victoria Road, and that can be driven briskly on the Old Pacific Highway by
someone who is not a racing driver without feeling like it is waiting for a mistake.
The engine has not softened. The V8 pulls from 2,000rpm with the kind of torque that makes
the nine-speed gearbox's job easy, and in Sport Plus the exhaust is loud enough that you will
choose your moments in a suburban street. Comfort mode makes it a car you can leave a
driveway in at 6am without apology.
The all-wheel drive is the point in a wet city
Sydney rains hard and suddenly. In the original car, 700Nm through the rear tyres on a
wet Cahill Expressway ramp was a thing you thought about. The GT 63 sends drive forward the
instant the rears let go and otherwise stays rear-biased, so on a dry road it still feels like
a rear-drive car. On a wet one it is simply faster and calmer. It also has rear-axle steering,
which shrinks the car in a tight turn and makes a U-turn on a narrow street in Paddington a
one-shot job rather than a three-point one.
The rear seats change what a weekend can be
They are small. A second couple will ride to dinner in them and not complain; the same
couple would not want to do the Hunter in them. But they exist, and that means the car can do
things the original could not. Two people and proper luggage for a long weekend at Byron.
A wedding where the bride's parents need to arrive in the same car. A dinner where four
people would rather arrive together than in two taxis.
The boot behind them is a hatch, which is the other thing the SL platform brought. Two
soft bags and a suit carrier fit without thinking about it.
Active aero and the way it feels at speed
The front splitter drops at speed and the rear spoiler rises, and the point of both is that
the car stays flat and quiet at 110km/h on the M1 in a way the first car never quite managed.
This is a car built for the drive to the Hunter as much as for the road through it. The
seats are heated, ventilated and adjustable in more ways than you will use, and the cabin is
quiet enough that the V8 becomes a background note until you ask for it.
Things You Should Know
It is wide
Close to two metres across the mirrors, which is the same problem the G-Wagon has in an
older multi-storey. The cameras and the rear steering help, and it has never been an issue
on the road. It is worth knowing before you book a hotel with a tight car park, and worth
asking the venue about before a wedding where the car has to reach a courtyard through a
heritage gateway. Most fit. The ones that do not are the ones that were built for a horse.
The original AMG GT is a different car, not an older version of this one
If what you want is a two-seat, rear-drive V8 coupe that feels like it might bite, the
first-generation AMG GT is the one, and it remains the sharper drive. If what you want is a
car that can do 600km in a day, carry four people to dinner, and still sound like an AMG when
you ask, this is the one. We will happily tell you which of the two suits your weekend.
Fuel is a real cost
A twin-turbo V8 driven the way a twin-turbo V8 invites is not economical. Budget for it
on a long trip. The car takes 98 octane and prefers it.
The drive modes are worth learning at handover
There are more of them than you will use, and the ones that matter are three. Comfort
softens the dampers, closes the exhaust and makes the car a quiet coupe for the school run or
a hotel forecourt. Sport sharpens the throttle and opens the valves, which is the setting for
the Old Pacific Highway on a Sunday. Sport Plus holds gears longer and firms everything, and
on Sydney's patched surfaces it is more than most roads can use. We set the car to Comfort at
handover and show you the button that changes it, because the difference between modes is
large enough that a first drive in the wrong one gives the wrong impression of the car.
The cabin is a step up from the first car
The original AMG GT had a cabin that was dramatic to look at and cramped to sit in. This
one takes its dashboard from the SL, with a large portrait screen that tilts to cut glare, a
proper head-up display and seats that adjust in enough directions to suit anyone from five foot
two to six foot five. Storage is still tight, because it is a sports car, but the door bins take
a bottle and the console takes a phone and a wallet without a fight. It is a car you can drive
to Canberra for a meeting and arrive in without needing to stretch.
Who Books This Car
Couples doing a long weekend with real luggage who want the car to be part of the trip
rather than a way to get there. Guests who loved the original AMG GT and have children now.
Anyone whose event is the kind where the arrival is photographed.
It is priced from $1,600 a day, which sits just above the original AMG GT and the G-Wagon
in the Exotic tier. The car is confirmed by request: send us the dates, we check and give
you a straight answer, and nothing is charged until we have.
If the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is booked
We never move you down a tier. If your dates are taken, these are the exotic cars we will offer instead, and we will tell you plainly if none of them is free rather than substituting something lesser on the day.

Want the original two-seater instead?
The first-generation AMG GT is the purer, louder, rear-drive version of this idea. Tell us which side of that line you sit on.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the GT 63 different from the older AMG GT?
It is longer, heavier and drives all four wheels, and it has two small rear seats where the original had a parcel shelf. The engine is the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, now at 430kW. The original is the sharper two-seater; the GT 63 is the one that can carry a couple of bags, two extra people in a pinch, and cover 600km in a day without wearing you out. They suit different weekends.
Are the rear seats usable?
For children and for adults over short distances, yes. The rear is a genuine 2+2 rather than a shelf, so a second couple can ride to dinner in the city. For a long day with four adults the G-Wagon or the M3 xDrive are the honest choices, and we will say so if that is what your trip looks like.
What is the minimum driver age?
Twenty-five with a full licence. The GT 63 sits in the Exotic tier, where the minimum is 25, and the primary driver must hold a full Australian or recognised international licence. Additional drivers are welcome on the same terms and are named on the agreement before the car is handed over.
Is all-wheel drive a good thing in a car like this?
In Sydney, yes. A rear-drive 430kW car on a wet Anzac Bridge merge asks a lot of the driver. The GT 63 sends drive forward when the rears start to spin and otherwise stays rear-biased, so it feels like a rear-drive car on a dry road and a much safer one in the rain. The launch figure of 3.2 seconds is also only possible because of it.
Can you deliver it?
Yes. We deliver across Sydney, including the Eastern Suburbs, the Lower North Shore, Parramatta and the airport precinct. Delivery is quoted as its own line when you request dates, and the handover is photographed with you present so the condition of the car is agreed before you drive away.
How much is the bond, and is it charged?
The bond is a hold on your card rather than a charge, released after the return inspection. The bond and the damage excess for the Exotic tier are shown in writing before you pay, together with the option to reduce the excess. Neither figure changes on the day.
Is the GT 63 available now?
It is confirmed by request. We source it for your dates rather than holding it on a lot, so we check availability when your request comes in and give you a clear yes or no before anything is charged. If we cannot confirm it we will tell you, and offer the original AMG GT or the G-Wagon for the same dates.
