2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 First Drive

For 2019 we’re changing things up. Why watch one hot lap when you can see two at once!?

In fact, Randy Pobst set the production sedan lap record around Laguna Seca in a preproduction Project 8. This time out, Pobst’s got a healthier, full-production 2019 spec car and he should go quicker. Bad news for Jaguar, AMG built an even more powerful (and expensive) four-door sports car, the 2019 GT 63 S. Which super sedan will turn the quickest lap? Watch and find out!
