New Mercedes AMG GT vs The Cheapest AMG GT You Can Buy // DRAG RACE, REVIEW + LAP TIME
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupe ($195,000 starting in Canada, $175,900 starting in the US) is brand new and is now in its second generation. The first generation Mercedes-AMG GT S ($83,000 CAD, ~$60,000 USD) offers a powerful Biturbo V8 and a stunning road presence. This new generation offers all-wheel drive, even more power from a Biturbo V8, and a more spacious cabin with a 2+2 option. But how do they compare? And does the new one provide the same thrills as its predecessor? Thomas and James are excited to find out. We hope you enjoy the episode. And then subscribe, silly.

New Aston Martin Vantage review!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-1305 Meet the all-new Aston Martin Vantage! The Vantage is essentially Britain’s answer to the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The question is, does this all-new sports car have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the class leader? Well for starters, let’s take a closer look at the design. Up top the front end has been redesigned, and you’ll find a carbon fibre splitter down below, along with vents on the bonnet to help release air that comes in through the trademark Aston Martin grille. There are all-new matrix LED headlights, and all the vents you see serve a purpose. Around the back, there’s a large light bar along with a ducktail spoiler, and across the side, there are some extended side skirts. All-in-all, it looks fantastic! Step inside and the interior set-up is very similar to recent Aston Martin releases like the DB12. The centre console comes covered in a multitude of buttons and rollers, and they’re all built to a high standard! Aston Martin now also has its own infotainment system, although if we’re being honest, it’s not exactly the best. Thankfully though that’s the only real negative of the interior. The cabin is built to a high standard using soft touch, and nice-quality materials throughout, and as you’d expect, the seats are super comfortable. Then we get to the power source - the glorious 4-litre twin-turbo V8! It may be the same AMG unit as found in the previous car, but Aston Martin has been allowed to go to work with it for this new release. As a result, it comes with bigger turbos, and now produces 665hp and 800Nm! That’s 150hp more than the previous Vantage! Naturally, all of this quality comes at a cost, with the new Vantage starting from £165,000. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!
