For Sale: 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG in Katwijk, Netherlands

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S, 2016. Two owners, 72,834 km, service books from new.

Do you know what the most underrated chapter in the entire AMG history is? Not the 300 SEL 6.8 'Rote Sau', not the first 63 engines that got crammed into every E-Class by men who clearly had something to prove. No, the moment AMG decided they no longer wanted to build a dressed-up Mercedes, but a complete sports car that had earned everything on its own merit. The SLS AMG was the first. The AMG GT was the refinement of it: shorter, sharper, meaner, and without those theatrical gullwing doors that guaranteed a cracked skull in every car park. "The Mercedes-AMG GT S Is Ridiculously Underrated" said Doug Demuro, the American car guru. There is really nothing more you need to add.

The GT was unveiled in 2014, and the rule of thumb within the family was simple. If you have the regular GT, you have a gorgeous car. If you have the GT S, you have understood what it is really all about. That same 4.0 litre V8 biturbo, but with the volume cranked all the way up to 510 bhp. An engine with its two turbos placed not outside but inside the V, 'hot V' the Germans call it, with a face as though they have just invented a patent. The result is a response that is almost rude, and a sound that sits somewhere between a thunderstorm and the rumbling stomach of a predator. Put your foot down and you get a roar that strikes your neighbours off your Christmas card list in one go.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 90 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. The Carfax report. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. The original factory brochure to page through. A timeline from 4 May 2016 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.
