The starter models of Porsche and AMG's core six-figure sports cars are very different beasts chasing the same ideal.
For two everyday supercars which hail from the same country and provide similar performance, the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT and the 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S are surprisingly different animals. From cylinder count to engine location to seating capacity, each of these two $100,000-plus coupes takes its own road. Read the full story here.
The new-generation Porsche 911 is a better sports car and a better GT car than the Mercedes-AMG GT.
At $122,540, our very lightly optioned S example is about as inexpensive a 911 Carrera S as you'll find anywhere.
While thoroughly modern mechanically, the AMG GT's long-hood proportions has a decided retro flair.
Yes, the Porsche is quicker, has more grip, better braking performance, and is lighter than the Mercedes. But it's really the 911's stable handling that keeps it easily ahead on a good road.
Porsche manages to include a decent-size frunk and small rear seats into a vehicle roughly the same size as the two-seat Mercedes.
You will not be surprised to learn that the bright-red Porsche garnered more attention in rural Kentucky than the somber gray Mercedes.
The AMG GT is beautifully finished, but its cabin is snug and outward visibility is poor.
Some call it dour and dark. But we think the new 911's interior feels modern and almost minimalist. It's relatively roomy, too.
That is not a skin tag on the Porsche's center console. It is the PDK's shifter. We can't stop running our fingers over the shifter's knurled section.
Posh as it may be, the Mercedes-AMG GT's interior is overwhelmed by buttons. Many are redundant controls for the various drive modes.
