Mercedes-AMG GT Vs Porsche 911 Turbo: Battle Of German Sports Cars

The thrill of unbridled power and precision handling – that’s what sports cars offer driving enthusiasts. This week’s DubiCompare throws down the gauntlet between two legendary contenders: Mercedes-AMG GT vs Porsche 911 Turbo.

Both sports coupes are legendary for their performance, handling, and luxurious interiors, but which one reigns supreme? This detailed comparison dives deep into their strengths and weaknesses to help you decide which is the ultimate driving machine for you.

While the Porsche 911 Turbo boasts a sleek design, the Mercedes-AMG GT offers a more spacious interior. The AMG GT’s wheelbase stretches 250mm longer, translating to the possibility of comfortable rear seats. Unlike the 911 Turbo’s cramped back seats suited only for children, the AMG GT can truly seat four passengers.

The design of these two cars reflects their different engine layouts. The Mercedes-AMG GT, with its front-mounted engine, boasts a long hood and a powerful stance, creating a bold and modern look. 

In contrast, the Porsche 911 Turbo, with its rear-mounted engine, retains the classic Porsche silhouette that’s instantly recognisable. Despite their contrasting styles, both cars are guaranteed to turn heads with their aggressive appearances.

Both Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have taken their in-car technology and comfort to new heights. Stepping inside either car, you’re enveloped in a luxurious and tech-driven experience. With a wide range of features and customization options available, you can tailor these cars to perfectly suit your preferences and personality, ensuring every drive is a pleasure.

Let’s look at the top-of-the-line models: the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and the Porsche 911 Turbo. The AMG boasts a larger engine, generating more torque. However, the Porsche, being lighter, has a better power-to-weight ratio. This translates to quicker acceleration and a higher top speed. 

Both cars are packed with cutting-edge technology to keep you in control. Features like active suspension, rear-locking differentials, and rear-axle steering work together to deliver exceptional handling, even if you push the limits a bit.

The Mercedes-AMG GT also comes in a less powerful version, the GT 55 4Matic+. It uses the same engine as the GT 63 but detuned to produce 476hp and 700 Nm of torque.

While both cars offer a comprehensive safety net, the Mercedes-AMG GT takes the lead with a few additional standard active safety features. This means the AMG GT provides a higher level of protection out of the box, while some features require additional packages on the Porsche 911 Turbo. 

Mercedes-Benz is yet to launch the 2024 AMG GT in the UAE. When launched, we expect it to be priced at around AED 750,000 for the top-spec GT 63 trim.
