The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé isn’t as agile or engaging as the best sports cars, but it’s surprisingly practical and the V8 petrol engine – a rarity these days – sounds fantastic. It's available as a plug-in hybrid, but rather than leading to great company car tax savings, the PHEV offers the most blistering performance in the range.
The AMG GT 63 Pro is no faster to 62mph than the ‘regular’ 63, despite having an extra 27bhp, which takes the total to 604bhp. However, its improved downforce and optional Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R Cup tyres make it more agile. And, unlike the previous-generation Pro, this doesn’t seem to have been achieved by making the ride significantly harder.
