In this episode of Throttle House, the team delves into the realm of the new AMG GT 63, a beast that promises more power, features, and a hefty price tag compared to its C63 sibling. Priced at a staggering $175,000, this machine can be specced to over $200,000, showcasing a mighty 577-horsepower bi-turbo V8 engine that propels it from 0-100 km/h in a blistering 3.2 seconds. Equipped with a 9-speed multi-clutch transmission and a 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system, the GT 63 exudes performance prowess. However, the team notices a downside to its increased weight, affecting its agility and center of gravity on the road.
Drawing comparisons to its predecessor, the older AMG GT shines in a different light, offering a driving experience rooted in balance, a low center of gravity, and precise hydraulic steering that engages the driver on a visceral level. The team takes both models to the track, where the AMG GT 63 impresses with its lap time of 1:08.93, showcasing its prowess in generating grip and traction. However, the car's weight becomes a noticeable factor during heavy braking, hinting at a compromise in its track performance.
As the team reflects on the AMG GT 63's engineering philosophy, they uncover a shift towards a more track-focused approach, steering away from the raw, untamed nature of traditional AMG models. Comparing it to the BMW M8 Competition, the GT 63 finds itself in a delicate balance between lap times and driving excitement, straddling the line between precision and passion. While the AMG GT 63 excels in speed and grip, it falls slightly short in delivering the unfiltered, adrenaline-pumping experience that defined its predecessors.
