If Porsche were to build a new front-engine sports car, it might look something like the Mercedes-AMG GT. At the front end, the comparisons don't hold up as well.
Say you’re one of those fortunate few who find themselves in the market for a new performance car with between $100,000 to $200,000 to spend.While that’s a vast amount of money for a car, it doesn’t quite get you into the Italian exotic car territory, sadly enough.You could spend less and go for a new mid-engine Chevy Corvette, and nobody would blame you. Or for around the same money, you could consider the Lotus Emira—great-looking and exotic given its low numbers.
The first-generation AMG GT was introduced in late 2014 as a 2015 model. It was a front-engine, strictly two-seater priced and aimed directly as a 911 competitor, unlike the more expensive and exclusive AMG SLS that preceded it.What visually distinguished the first gen most was its side-view proportion: an exaggerated dash-to axle that clearly announced its front midengine layout, almost to the point of caricature.
