We’ve got our hands on the AMG GT 63 edition, and he’s about to see if it can compete with class leaders like the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Aston Martin Vantage! So first off, let’s check out the design. Even though it’s an all-new GT, there’s no denying it’s unmistakably recognisable as an AMG GT. Around the back, you’ll find a cool new tail light design, and although there’s a diffuser and some vents, the stick of truth has found them all to be fake! Despite sharing the same underpinnings as the AMG SL, the only thing borrowed from this car’s design can be found along the side – the doors! Everything else is unique to the GT. Up front, you’ll find the instantly recognisable aggressive-style grille, coupled with a load of vents which are actually real! Step inside and the GT is a lovely car to be in. There’s Alcantara on the steering wheel and you'll find weighty metal paddle shifters on either side, and there’s a huge infotainment screen on the centre of the dash. The turbine-style vents look cool, but unfortunately, there’s quite a bit of cheap materials to be found in the cabin. What’s more, the cover for the sun visor has to be operated manually! Not what you would expect to find in a car that costs from £165,000. When it comes to engines, all versions of the AMG GT are powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. The entry-level is the AMG 55 model, which puts down 476hp and 700Nm. The car we have here, the 63, produces 585hp and 800Nm, while the range-topper is the GT 63 S E-Performance. It’s a hybrid, so it comes with a V8 and an electric motor, which combine to produce 816hp and an eye-watering 1,420Nm! So what do you think – could the new GT be a 911 beater? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself! Chapters

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-0106 It’s the one you AMG fans have been waiting for! We’ve finally got our hands on the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Estate, and it’s going head-to-head against its closest rivals – the BMW M3 Touring and the Audi RS4 Competition! So let’s check out how the three compare. Starting with the AMG, it’s done the unthinkable and swapped the V8 for a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo! This can produce 476hp, but fear not – there’s also an electric motor fitted to the rear axel that can produce 204hp, so as a result the new C63 produces 680hp and a colossal 1,020Nm! It’s equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, it weighs in at a hefty 2,190kg, and it costs around £99,750. As for the BMW, it’s packing the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the saloon. This puts down 510hp and 650Nm, sends power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at just 1,865kg. It’s also a fair bit cheaper than the AMG, coming in at £88,800. Then finally we have the limited-edition Audi RS4 Competition. It has the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 as the regular car, and it still produces 450hp and 600Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s both the lightest & cheapest car here, coming in at 1,745kg & £84,600 respectively. So surely it has to be a walkover for the AMG, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free-3105 How’s THIS for a World Exclusive! Mat’s flown over to Japan, and he’s got his hands on every edition of GR Yaris ever made! But that’s not all, he’s going to be the first journalist EVER to take these cars around Toyota’s all-new test track! During this video, he’ll get his hands on the 1st generation, the Japan-exclusive GRMN, the 2nd generation (both manual & automatic), and the limited-edition Ojier & Rovanperä editions! So let’s take a look at how they compare. Starting with the 1st GR Yaris, it comes with a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine that produces 272hp and 370Nm. It’s equipped with a switchable four-wheel drive system and a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it truly is an affordable and incredible rally car for the road! Then we come to the GRMN edition. Only 500 were ever made, and while horsepower is the same, torque increases slightly to 390Nm. The car also comes with several other upgrades, including a carbon fibre wing and bonnet, a lower ride height, and a load of Alcantara on the inside! Then we come to the second generation. Power has been increased to 300hp and 400Nm, and it’s available either manually or automatically. It comes with stiffer suspension, a 20mm lower ride height than the gen one, and a set of digital dials. It also comes with a loftier price tag, starting at £40,000. And then finally we have the two limited-edition models, built with personal input from drivers from the Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC team. Both editions have exclusive paint jobs, improved rear wings, as well as drive mode settings personally chosen by the two drivers. Both cars are limited to just 200 editions each! It’s the video every GR Yaris fan has been waiting for, but which will Mat choose as his favourite? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!
