The Mercedes AMG GT was just one car two years ago, but the model line up has expanded rapidly since then, says Lawrence Allan in AutoExpress. This new GT C is the more civilised version of the track-focused GT R. You get the four-wheel-steering and a portion of the extra power of the sportiest model, but in a "more useable and subtle package". That means a "more exciting and engaging drive than lesser versions", but with £11,500 left over in your pocket and more space in the boot. What makes the car an especially appealing prospect is its "breadth of dynamic ability". It feels "impressively planted and composed, scythes through bends with barely any body movement, and the steering is super direct". This makes for "a really confidence-inspiring experience, allowing you to jump from corner to corner, building speed and exploiting the grip".
