This color combination is incredible, and that interior space really looks special. Love the rear captain's chairs. I much prefer the AMG GT to the new S class and EQS. I don't have any clue how Mercedes managed to make this look great and make the EQS look like an egg 😅
the only thing on the interior that bugs me is the star on the steering wheel. why is the leather not a cream colour like the rest, instead of black... minor complaint but it would drive me nuts if I sat behind the wheel of that every day
You defenetly have to drive the upcoming GT63s E-perfomance with an additional 200hp electric motor. During my internship at Mercedes I already had the chance to be a passenger in this 830 hp monster on the test track of the factory and it just blew my mind.
You're living the dream man. Loved this. Not enough time to watch it allright now but I got to see it break loose then magically dead hook on the slippery roads, and that freeway entrance...wow 😍
its weird, i didnt care for the AMG GT when it first came out but its really grown on me. i guess the EV revolution is making me appreciate these V8 super sedans
This car reminds me of the horsepower wars of the early 2000's. AMG was putting super powerful V8's in their E & C Class while BMW and Audi has straight and V 6's in their "super" sedans.
BMW E39 M5 (V8) was released in 1998, and offered 400hp, while the E55 AMG of the same year offered 349hp. The first V8 C55 was not released until 2005. The horsepower war started when AMG responded with the new E55 AMG in 2003 with 469hp, which BMW responded with in 2006 with the E60 M5, which was rated at 500hp.
I laughed when you mentioned the steering wheel feeling off-centered. I had a '19 E63s wagon that I just sold and had the same issue. Also, the E63s wagon is just as nuts as the GT63, but also has a little trick up it's sleeve..drift mode! It can become rear wheel drive only. You should consider one after the market comes back to earth.
Was so funny we you first got scared driving this on a hard pull. It caught you off guard a bit which is rare. A car for a real driver that deserves respect!
haha not fear but shock. I was expecting speed but nowhere near this level. That was my honest first pull in the thing and it was just so much faster than I was expecting
This is the true successor to the CLS63. CLS used to be the sporty, V8 only(in the US market) 4 door GT. Now the CLS is a 6 cylinder only car for the masses.
Your reaction to that launch control tells a lot! 😄 12:21 And that car make you think you are Ari Vatanen! 😎 The twisted driving position is probably due to that tsunami of torque bending the chassis or the driver's body... 😁
"Nothing is real anymore everything is just a façade." Truer words have not been spoken. Thanks for the video. The spec looks great. Kind of egg shaped but I think it would grow on me. Not sure what the price comparison would be but I'd probably just take the wagon.
Tedward the next time you hop in a newer AMG hold a shift paddle (doesn't matter which one) before you start the vehicle. It'll trigger "AMG Emotion Start" and you'll get some burbles on start-up =)
I hope you drive the GT63S E performance when it comes out. That car is bonkers. 843hp, basically hypercar territory but most of that power is from the hybrid motors
When I saw this car it reminded me of the time I almost rear ended one a few months ago lol. I got distracted looking at a cammed c7 Z06 with drag radials. But when I saw this car up close it was really good looking.
Could you try to get a AMG GLE 63S (the SUV version, not the Wants-to-be-a-Coupe)? I want to know what it drives like. Did you say 0-60 in 2.9 seconds? Just from the footage that number seems a bit too low.
I'd say the 0-60 time is based on optimal circumstances. This video was taken on a cold day with not ideal tires. Those acceleration times were also probably driven by an individual who has spent their life racing cars & so on. Just a few caveats that could increase the time to seem longer
As soon as you pointed out the off-center steering wheel I can`t unsee that. Turns out all modern Mercedes cars don`t have the steering wheel in the center of the driver but rather to the right for some reason. OCD going off the charts.
Man, it's been a while since i've seen ted so impressed and excited about how fast a car goes. And tbh, before i didn't think that the car was that fast but there's just something about Tedward vids that just transmit so good the rawness and power of a car which is one of the reasons why Tedward is my favorite car youtuber without a doubt
Do you think you could drive a Jetta GLI, I heard they are a good affordable sports sedan. I can’t find any to test drive they’ve become rare, it’s seems like a great first car that’s quick but not irresponsible.
I hadnt opened it up until that moment because before filming I was just cruising around warming it up. It was crazy when I felt it wide open in second. Wasn’t expecting the speed from this big car
My dream daily…this or the GLE63S AMG Coupe….Tedward can you please do a GLE 63S AMG COUPE 🙏 I currently have the 2016 GLE 63 AMG….its nice but interior is dated
Hot take: cars with fewer gears are better to listen to. I like when the engine note is gradually drawn out up to redline instead of constantly changing RPM so quickly. More of a comment really, not a criticism of this car - it still sounds great EDIT: full disclosure, I made that comment after the 5 second intro... talk about putting my foot in my mouth. Forget what I wrote above, even if there is still part of me that thinks that. This car is amazing, I want one. The sound as it bangs through gears insanely quickly... when you did the first launch my eyes actually got wide as if I was in the car. AHH
My brothers friend had a pearl white C63S with the V8 Bi-turbo here in the UK, the thing was an absolute monster - way too uneconomical to really keep a car like that over here so it was sold unfortunately. The noise they make is incredible.
The M5 comp is faster in a straight line and more comfortable/refined, the AMG is more raw and it has more character and better steering feel. The benz is faster around a track but just barely.
I know this comment might not be seen but the steering wheel is 100% off to the side. I used to work at mercedes and whenever I drove the E class or the car in the video I ALWAYS felt slightly awkward and then I drew a line from the center of the seat to the wheel and noticed it was off center to the right on every E or GT 4 door. Another weird thing you might notice is that the steering wheel also isnt parallel to your body. The right side is slightly closer to you while the left is slightly further away. I may have gotten that backwards as it has been about 5 years since I've been in one. I don't know if that was intentional or just never measured but it gives me the little giddy feeling like the Mercielago has with their steering wheels.
For anyone wondering, (atleast in the 2018) drift mode is activated by holding down the traction control button until it turns all the way off, foot on the brake and hold both paddles, upshift to confirm and boom drift mode
This color combination is incredible, and that interior space really looks special. Love the rear captain's chairs. I much prefer the AMG GT to the new S class and EQS. I don't have any clue how Mercedes managed to make this look great and make the EQS look like an egg 😅
I guess the EQS is more aerodynamic but If I was able to buy a €100k+ car I would gladly have a little less range and have the EQS look this good
@@emil.soderholm the model s and lucid air are like 2% less aerodynamic and look way better
@@david3n544 The EQS' egg-like exterior definitely isn't worth it then if that's the case😆
Reminds me of 2000s Volvo xc70 and Volvo v70 lmao

do you know the 0-60?
@@imgayaf420 It's around 2.8 seconds, but the transmission limits the power in the first two gears, so you'll only get full power above 60mph.

The shifts are up to the PDK in Porsches. Insanely fast and sharp
AND THEY SOUND BRUTALL
That steering wheel is something else
Thumbs up all the way from Brasil. Keep it up man.
*Vivaldi concerto plays*
"The GT63S from Mercedes. You'll feel your stomach falling out of your asshole."
What an amazing looking cabin who needs a supercar when you can get one of these 👀
I love it! Its a really good luxury daily driver and will always be in my top 5

We need a longer vid with this one bro
After you mentioned now I can't unsee the off centered steering wheel
That take off was absolutely insane!
Now *this* is what AMG should be building. Not hybrids!
Hold the paddle to turn it on with emotional start which shoots up the ravs and opens up the exhaust
Tedward the next time you hop in a newer AMG hold a shift paddle (doesn't matter which one) before you start the vehicle. It'll trigger "AMG Emotion Start" and you'll get some burbles on start-up =)
I hope you drive the GT63S E performance when it comes out. That car is bonkers. 843hp, basically hypercar territory but most of that power is from the hybrid motors
not most, only 200hp from electro motor
Comparing the intro to the outtakes on Instagram…the editing is seamless haha
😂
lol that thing really goes. i mean it spun all 4 tires for like 2 seconds on the launch lol
This thing is very powerful
Its amazing the same company makes this car and also makes the EQS.

Tedward, how would you compare this to a Panamera Turbo?
I think I was behind one of these last night.
It had Wintrac Pros on it.
I related to you so much in this video when I drove a 2013 Audi S4 for the first time.
Never underestimate a MERCEDES
🥱😴
Awesome vid man! 🔥🔥
Why does this specific car have a black airbag cover?
My favourite Merc that. Nice job
Tedward: “th-“
Mercedes: “DING”
Mat Watson @carwow commonly points out the steering not being centered on Mercedes-Benz
That’s good to hear. I felt crazy.
You should make a series about what cars you would buy at different price ranges
Love this!!

That is one beautiful, awesome car. God I want one.
Is it a fast car? Lol. One of the funniest reviews to date.
Performance-wise, how do you compare this to an M5 Comp.?
The M5 comp is faster in a straight line and more comfortable/refined, the AMG is more raw and it has more character and better steering feel. The benz is faster around a track but just barely.
Did you feel like the E63 was more comfortable than the GT63s damper wise or were they about the same?
I heard the newest e 63 has new suspension that made it more comfortable compared to the previous model. But not sure between the two
@@SM-1010 I was acutally referring to the W212 E63 he was so stoked about, but thanks for the info nonetheless :)
Great sound 👏 AMG is top 👍🏻 the Boys from Affalterbach make awesome work 😀 actually I finished my AMG CARPORN 💪🏼 best cinematic greetings from 🇩🇪
Drift mode is race mode turn traction fully off then hold both paddles

So the 63S is discontinued for 2022? Also that black airbag cover on the steering wheel looks wrong.
I think it’s just skipping a model year because of shortages, they’re reserving AMG V8s for certain models.
First time I drove this car…I shitted out my heart…insane speed
Damn those shifts are insane

Big snowfall and studded tires that would be better than a rollercoaster
you should get one of those 360 cameras and put it behind the car when driving like drew peacock did.. idk just an idea, love the vids tho
good review bro, if possible please do a review of an audi RS6 abt version 😁🤗😄
You should review some of the newer compact cars
not gonna lie @Tedward a part of me died when you said those exhaust tips were fake
Which car do you feel is more ludicrous? This or the Turbo S?

Maybe pure acceleration, but not speed, and not pure feeling
why l love this channel- cuz l breathe
