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 GT 63 S E combines the 604bhp V8 from the AMG 63 Pro with a 202bhp electric motor, which cuts the 0-62mph sprint time to just 2.8sec. As a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), this version can also drive purely on electric power, although only for eight miles (officially).
