JEREMY CLARKSON NAMES 'EXTREMELY EXCITING' MERCEDES-AMG GT S ONE OF HIS TOP 10 CARS
August 15, 2016 by Mercedes-BenzThe Mercedes-AMG GT S has been named by Jeremy Clarkson as one of his top 10 cars in The Sunday Times Driving. The TV presenter, who will soon be fronting new Amazon Prime show, The Grand Tour, described the GT S as 'extremely exciting' in his official road test in The Sunday Times. Clarkson noted: 'Behind all the racing paraphernalia and the Mercedes-Benz suede and silicone, this is a modern-day muscle car. You sense this when you drive it. It feels raw. Much more raw than any of the other cars you can buy for this sort of money. It feels — how can I put this? — extremely exciting.' The GT range launched a new generation of performance engine from Mercedes-AMG: a 4.0-litre V8 unit which produces at least 462 hp and can propel the vehicle to reach 62 mph from standstill in four seconds (510 hp/3.8 seconds for the GT S). At the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Mercedes-AMG unveiled a new, even more powerful version of the GT, the GT R, with an output of 585 hp and the ability to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S are on sale now priced from £98,195. To find your nearest retailer, visit www.Mercedes-Benz.co.uk.
