Background
Mercedes has revealed an enticing sports car to rival the class-leading Porsche 911. While the two-door AMG GT is fast, it crucially lacks any practicalities.

This luxurious GT four-door coupé is a long-distance cruiser with supercar performance but packs enough room for four adults.

While the roomy 456-litre boot is marginally smaller than that of a Porsche Panamera, the Mercedes offers plenty of luggage storage. Raise the rear-seat centre armrest and it's also possible to squeeze in an extra passenger for short trips.

A fast-shifting, nine-speed gearbox allowed me to toggle between Sport+ and the various comfort modes, depending on road conditions.
Inside, the advanced cockpit has a suite of driver aids to take the strain out of freeway travel. The assistance systems are ...
