How on earth to start this? I've been car/bike/truck crazy since I was a teen. Like John, I had the obligatory Countach poster on the wall. I guess I'm more officially into classic and muscle cars than anything else - I currently have a '65 Sunbeam Tiger that left the factory the same day as I left the hospital as a newborn with my mother. How could I not buy that car? In 2016 my wife and I drove across the USA in a brand-new Dodge Challenger, and then shipped it home. We did this again in 2019 in a 1990 Chev Corvette - you can read about that trip on DriveLife, and again in 2023 buying a C5 Corvette and shipping it home. I'm a driving instructor and an Observer for the Institute of Advanced Motorists - trying to do my bit to make our roads safer.
2025-mercedes-amg-gt-63-car-review-2This car is outstanding in so many ways; yes, it's price is out of reach of so many, but it's credentials can't be overlooked. <br><br> The sheer capability of this car is something to be experienced, and I am still stunned by just how well this car can handle, for its weight. <br><br> Long story short, BMW and others will need to lift their game to match the potential of the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 63.
