Nah he got the 4 seater, it has headrests

[@tomwalker389]

Which you cannot reach if you put it behind you.

[@markrhoden68]

Always boggled my mind regarding what owners want from those rear seats in 2+2s, you either want rear seats or you don't. Either get a full four seater or get a two seater 🤷‍♂️

[@leomux2004]

Same

[@TD1237]

Well your 'average' German coupes' rear seats -like the C-Class coupe, 4 series etc. - are actually pretty usable. Even for shorter adults. Not the most comfortable, but they're usable.
Only when it comes to serious performance and super cars does it become a bit silly with how small the seats are.

[@markclayton8977]

I’ve heard it makes the insurance rate different.

[@TonyWhackJr]

Lol that's ridiculous 😂

[@Watchlover371]

@@TD1237 agreed I have an m4 and can get four adults in fairly comfortably

[@DocWolph]

The seats are there for insurance purposes. Strict two seaters, the typical sports car, often get slapped HARD with higher insurance rates. But 2+2 coupes or four door sedans usually see some leniency on insurance rates.

[@fist003]

which show how stupid the insurance companies are

[@dbrezzell]

Glad that someone else knows that

[@ericguan2012]

I’m not sure if that’s still a thing, but those extra 2 seats might be able to lower your insurance cost…I been told a couple years ago by my insurance guy that 2 door 2 seat car’s insurance cost more than those cars with 4 door 4 seats. But hey, if a guy afford an AMG GT, I really don’t think a couple hundred dollars a year makes any impact to them…I doubt if they really notice the differences.😅

[@tj_enju]

I wonder what far-future historians will say about these 2door inaccessible/impractical rear-seat cars

[@tacodias]

Whoa! They looked like fun, instead of the boring suvs that dominated the era

[@churchofmarcus]

You don't need a seatbelt back there. If you can't move, you aren't going anywhere in a crash either.

[@adrianbennett3761]

They are completely pointless unless they have isofix so that babies can be carried

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

They do indeed have isofix.
Even if you don't need them for kids, those kind of seats are still useful for shopping bags, backpacks and small suitcases though, so I wouldn't call them useless.

[@adrianbennett3761]

@@timepiece_enthusiast I stand corrected but I can’t help feeling a bench for carrying luggage would be a better alternative. Definitely not big enough to carry an adult. I’m sure on a new 911 they have deleted the rear seats but you can option them back in FOC

[@timepiece_enthusiast]

@@adrianbennett3761 It's for sure not meant to carry adults.
I think even Mercedes themself claim that the rear bench is meant for passengers up to 150cm tall, so early teen kids at most.
It's the same as with the 911 on this AMG though, standard is a two seater with just some empty space behind the seats, the rear seats are optional, so you don't have to get them.

[@adrianbennett3761]

@@timepiece_enthusiast in any event the car looks fantastic but like lots of things nowadays it’s bl**dy expensive.

[@alphamumba4484]

That's a gentleman's muscle car❤

[@mohebullahsafa2894]

Those seats have purpose
Bcz the tax for hyper car or super car 2 seats is much more
They put 2 useless seats for dropping the taxes
In this case, you have a hyper car with low taxes ❤

[@Moet_Chandon_x]

I still think this is a rebagged c class coupe. And the cle is an e class coupe replacment

[@Danielevans2]

They're meant for children and small adults. If you're in a pinch, it's handy to know you can legally seat 2 more people in your car , particularly if it's just a small journey.

[@nawbrunitback]

Backseats only big enough for 2 years olds and book bags

[@Karamanlı1881]

I think the back seats are for people up to 1 mt tall.

[@jerryfieldz7701]

It's for insurance purposes. Makes the vehicle cheaper to insure cause it's not considered a roadster.

[@skylabx2000]

Who puts pasengers in those seats lol its luggage space. I don't even have people in the back of a saloon thats built to take extra people

[@lous2187]

Those seats are for punishing people

[@Dan_Dropper]

Those are for medium-sized dogs max.

[@cbotten106]

Those are for the Uber passengers.

[@martini3642]

Insurance is less with 4 seats.

[@Matthew-ll9ke]

So they ruined the look and handling of this car just to fit some useless rear seats. Great

[@lawlesskingza]

Very sexy car especially in their reddish colour 😢 those seats are for kids and bags ofcos.

[@rolfknappmann]

You need those seats in order to be able to fold them down for a larger trunk space...
You can't fold down the version without back seats, probably for sound insulation or something

[@devilgames2217]

It should be a 2 sit only.

[@terrancelefifi9597]

The backseats are for kids.

[@azdru62]

Perhaps insurance rates are lower for 4-seaters, even if they're never used.

[@robiulahmed]

And it's a gogantic car, too 😂

Those rear seats would make me so claustrophobic. I wouldnt sit there even if i did fit.
