Both are performance coupes, but there are some major differences between one another. After pitting the original NSX against a new Civic Type R a month ago, the British folks over at Carwow have taken the latest and greatest NSX to duel Mercedes-AMG’s Beast of the Green Hell, the GT R. While they’re both performance cars in coupe shape, that’s pretty much where the similarities end as there are some huge differences worth noting. For starters, the very green AMG is rear-wheel drive whereas the NSX has an all-paw arrangement allowing it to better channel power to the wheels in a drag race. Then there’s the powertrain, a conventional biturbo 4.0-liter V8 in the GT R compared to an intricate biturbo 3.5-liter V6 working together with three electric motors. Affalterbach’s weapon has 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) on tap while the hybrid Acura/Honda supercar offers a lower combined output of 573 hp and 476 lb-ft (645 Nm).

2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Stands Out In Traffic
This range-topping 63 S version certainly looks the part in the real world thanks to its aggressive styling. We first saw the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show early last month before checking out its aggressive metal once again a few weeks later in New York. Under the glitzy spotlight of a major auto show, nearly all cars look great, which is why we always prefer seeing a brand new model out in the real world to get a better look at its design. Update: 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Starts At $136,500 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door First Drive: Wunderbar The moment of truth has arrived for AMG’s new and confusingly named model, seen here in the 63 S flavor while roaming the streets of Germany. It does look substantially meaner than the CLS and the design has what it takes to fill in the void left after the CLS 63’s demise. In general, we’re not a big fan of all-black alloy wheels, but these don’t look half bad on Affalterbach’s … [Read more...] about 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Stands Out In Traffic
