Slick looks with AMG power
Available only in the GT S variant for 2016, this low-slung two-seater with a biturbo V8 is a thing of dreams. The sexy design and eye-popping acceleration with a throaty exhaust ensure all eyes are on you wherever you go. The fighter-pilot-inspired interior is awash with leather and aluminum accents and analog gauges that age well. If you are looking for an everyday driver that could double as a track car, the AMG GT S is one of those rare vehicles that can accomplish both feats.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
1. Race-track ready
The AMG GT S will get a sub-four-second zero-to-60-mph time for knock-you-back-in-your-seat acceleration. The mid-engine biturbo V8 delivers 503 hp, and the near-50/50 weight distribution provides balanced handling. If you truly want to track the 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG S, look out for the available high-performance ceramic brakes and ultra-light forged wheels.
2. Take your golf clubs with you
Whether you want to get away for the weekend with your significant other or go golfing with a buddy, the trunk of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S is big enough to handle it. Cargo volume rings in at 12.4 cu-ft and will hold two golf bags lengthwise or crosswise. Because this is a lift back rather than a true trunk design, the large deck lid opens wide to make loading golf bags or luggage easy.
3. Attention-grabbing design
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S has a distinctive supercar-like design with broad shoulders and a long, muscular build. The ageless Mercedes grille is bold but blends well with the sleek design, and the retractable rear spoiler is there when you need it, invisible when you don't. Looking for something extra? Keep an eye out for the Carbon Fiber Package, which delivers both interior and exterior carbon fiber accents.
4. Incredible craftsmanship
When you get behind the wheel of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S, you know you're sitting in something special. From the fighter-pilot-inspired interior to the Nappa leather seats, there is an incredible attention to detail that delights. Even the engine is hand-built by a single person, whose signature appears on the engine plate.
5. Some driver-assist tech
The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S is a driver's car, so Mercedes won't bog you down with interfering driver-assistance technology. At a base level, you'll see things like collision avoidance, a rearview camera, and drowsy driver detection. Driver assist options to watch for include blind spot monitoring and lane keep assist.
