Like its predecessor, the SLS AMG, the GT S sports a distinctive long hood and short tail. It doesn’t feel like an homage to the classics, but is certainly inspired by them. The gullwing doors were cut, but they’re quickly forgotten as the sleek form of the GT S hypnotizes all who behold it. A lightweight aluminum space frame, weighing little more than 514 pounds, is what the sports car’s slippery curves are crafted from. While seductive, it’s intimidating at first glance due to the wide, intense fascia at the front end and fluid design that’s worthy of its Silver Arrow heritage.
Slipping inside, the cockpit of the AMG GT S bears the hallmarks of contemporary Mercedes vehicles, but, naturally, sports a style uniquely its own. The symmetrical layout has just about all the controls needed running down a silver chrome-cased center console. These controls flank the gear lever and “Comand” infotainment interface. This is the driver’s gateway to all the car’s settings, from Bluetooth device pairing to how long you’d prefer the lights to stay on after locking it.
