It was a few years ago Mercedes introduced this class of car to their lineup
It rides on the same chassis as the E-Class and it’s actually very similar under the skin to the E53 we drove earlier this year
HOWEVER, what the GLE coupes and X6s have proved, style is everything
So this car takes the raw style and pedigree of the GTC/S/R and brings it with 4 doors
So, did it work?
We’ll start covering what’s going on under the skin. Much like the E53 AMG we have the 3.0TTI6. It’s a twin scroll turbo AND it has the 48V mild hybrid system. However, unlike the GT43 we alos drove earlier this year, this amped up 53 version gets an electric supercharger added to the mix - the result: 429 hp and 384 lbft and 0-60 in just about 4 seconds
So it’s quick - if you need more pace, power, and SOUND then you have to go up to the 4.0TT V8 63
However, the power this mill is able to put out and the sharpness that you feel is more than adequate
BUT the sharpness that stands out the most to me, and i’ve mentioned it in other AMG videos is the incredible drama you get from the 9 speed
Drama on upshift
Drama on downshift
Drama on lift-off
I LOVE IT
There’s drama, but also dialed back into a more civilised drive mode there’s excellent smoothness as well. The 48V system fills in electric torque to smooth out start/stop and in between gear changes. And then there’s the ride
The ride is…pretty good
In comfort mode the car doesn’t settle down and just become a luxury car in the same way as the Audi Sport models
This is a common thing faced by the AMG and M cars
Even with adjustable suspension the M and AMG cars are generally more stiffer sprung which gives them a higher performance ceiling
So yes, the Audi will be a little more comfortable in town, but it won’t sharpen up in the same way that you get here
And that’s not to say the ride is BAD at all. It’s still got a Mercedes-level ride,, it just won’t be an S Class. But you bought an AMG so you didn’t really expect S-Class ride did you?
Ultimately, behind the wheel despite the size and weight
This AMG GT53 feels incredibly sharp
It feels lke it’s nudging you to push it harder and harder
It has great drama on shift
It sounds pretty good
And it composes itself really well
Now let’s step outside and talk finer details
So yes this car shares a chassis with the E-Class and a lot of cars in Mercedes lineup share essentially the same interior design. HOWEVER this GT and the halo GT class cars get completely unique interiors that are similar to each other but no other cars get
You’ve of course got the big 12.3 inch screens for your cluster and infotainment systems
You get a nice HUG with loads of information
You get excellent 360 cameras
You get Car Play
You get MBUX with more customizeability than you could ever need
But you get all these things in the other cars as well
But it’s the design of the dash and, more specifically, the center console that set this car apart
The center console is designed to look like a V8 to pay homage to the original halo GT cars from Mercedes a few years ago
Your cylinders banks have 4 buttons meant to represent cylinder heads with customizable drive mode and function buttons
And then of course we need to talka about the materials
The diversity here makes it feel so expensive
You’ve got leathers, quilting, carbon, aluminum, etc
This is what you get with Mercedes - you get an interior that visually stuns and reminds you you bought a premium luxury car
They do the best ambient light
The graphics are exceptional
Luxuries like heated and cooled seat, heated steering wheel, massage seat, pano roof
It’s just NICE in here and will make all your friends say “damn”
Then the rear seats
This is a 4 door version of their 2 door 2 seater so you get like performance buckets for the rear
You get one less seat than maybe you could, but when you start ripping around your passengers will be grateful for a little bolstering
Legroom is fine for 6 footers
Headroom is bordering on a little tight
But ultimately is useable for adults
And then the trunk, which is a hatch style and super practical
Depending on what rear seat package you get though you may not be able to fold your rear seats, but even with them up its a nice big trunk
So yeah the interior here is really nice - it’s not the crazy new hyperscreen you get in the EQ models, but to be honest I don’t miss that at all here. This is a great cabin and it makes me feel like it’s special, expensive, and like my money went to work for me - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Special thanks to our Patrons for their support of the channel! GT53 or Audi S7?
Gt53 obviously lol
the question was better gt53 or rs7. But gt53 still wins. can't wait till may 2024 when my gt 53 is delivered :)
I am in love with this machine!
It’s like if Darth Vader had wheels 🛞
$132k fully loaded here in NYC. Had to wait 11 months. Arabian grey Manufaktur and red pepper. Was getting a Panamera 4s but Porsche dealers here treated it like their wife’s virginity. F off Porsche. This is the perfect daily. Got the smaller 20” black wheels as my areas the roads are horrible.
enjoy!
this been my dream car since it dropped.....What do you do for a Living so I can get this car too.....im desperate at this Point lololol
Nice
What you do?
That’s the thing here in the US, they won’t let you test drive anything. Even a from as cheap as a VW Golf R to Porsche 911. 😂😂😂
When I was in China, lotus let me drove the new Emira without any question.
Does this have the same 6 cylinder in the C43 or is it a different engine?
Nice car.. what is the name of the background music?
First stop on your channel. Liked it!
thanks for poppin by!
Just bought a e350 for a daily now I’m saving to buy this as my weekend whip.
I can't lie, I've had my eye on this for a while. I've finally found a GSF that I like, but this video pops up.
In the exact same boat
Bought the amg cls53 instead. Dont really like the rear end of the gt53.
Is there any drift mode or launch control
nope
This car is 150k in Canada. I really wanted the eight cylinder but that's Panamera 💰. Still, I had a naturally aspirated V8 in an SS 1LE I used to have and it made 426hp and that was more than enough.
it is not that expensive🙄
@Noob_funny I never said it was expensive or overpriced or too much! I said it was 150k in Canada and for about 200k(+) more you could get an MB eight cylinder GT or a Porsche Panamera, which is what I would do instead, possibly?! But I just needed a daily so 6 cylinders and 425hp is sufficient.
Does the gt43 and gt53 have the same engine!?
yes, the same.
It’s the new CLS
It's there a big difference between the 53 and the 63? Cuz im thinking of getting the 53
Yes, big difference. The 63 gets you the V8
Its based on the E Wagon chassis not just an E chassis
You look like TH-camr 'Jon Olson'
Who?
@@dwnshft Jon Olsson, youtuber
What y’all think gt53 amg or the s63 coupe?
63>53 always
