Summary
The Mercedes-AMG GT is an upmarket high-performance coupé. This is the second-generation version, which arrived in the UK in 2024.
Whereas the former model was a two-seater V8, this latest iteration is a four-seater, available as either a four-cylinder petrol mild-hybrid or a V8 twin-turbocharged plug-in hybrid.
A key rival of the Porsche 911, the AMG GT is largely regarded as an improvement on its predecessor by the British motoring media.
What Car?’s Steve Huntingford says the GT “isn’t as agile or engaging” as some rivals, but “it’s surprisingly practical and the V8 petrol engine – a rarity these days – sounds fantastic.” Carwow’s Darren Cassey also highlights the car’s unexpected practicality, but caveats that with the conclusion that the “the rear seats are pretty much pointless.”
As of November 2024, the Mercedes-AMG GT holds a New Car Expert Rating of E with a score of 54%. Beyond the car’s commendable collection of review scores, this overall score is hindered by high running costs.

The Mercedes-AMG GT is a very expensive car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
As you might expect from a top-of-the-line sports car, the AMG GT’s fuel efficiency is poor – particularly for petrol mild-hybrid models which on average offer a fuel consumption of 20mpg. Plug-in hybrid variants aren’t as thirsty – with an average fuel consumption of 35mpg – but this is still much less fuel efficient than the average hybrid.
