Coupes historically deal with higher than sedans by advantage of a stronger chassis. Fewer apertures means much less twist by the physique, however the second it turns into a four-door coupe, the title is nothing greater than advertising and marketing baloney to explain the stylistic facet of it. Nonetheless, whereas the AMG GT 53 may share a platform with the AMG E63, the truth that this was engineered by the AMG division from the bottom up means it feels somewhat totally different to the sedan on which it is loosely based mostly. From the second you flip the steering wheel, the GT 53 makes its shaper dealing with prowess identified. Even in comparison with the E63 S Wagon we drove just some weeks prior, the GT 53’s steering rack feels sharper and extra communicative to the motive force.
We have been most impressed with the balanced experience consolation on the GT 53. AMG’s 63 fashions are far too jarring, however the 53 fashions have a extra compliant experience. The GT 53 options unbiased multi-link suspension with coil springs and adjustable dampers. Of their Consolation setting, the automotive floats alongside properly and even within the Sport Plus Mode, the experience would not really feel too harsh. Within the AMG pantheon, we really feel the 53 vehicles present the perfect steadiness of consolation and efficiency. This automotive tends to really feel fairly lackadaisical in its Consolation Mode, however Sport Plus Mode wakes it up and tells the engine and exhaust to ship a throatier roar with some exhaust crackles for good measure. There is no Race Mode or drift setting just like the GT 63 S, this variant is supposed to be a reliable cruiser with daily-driver consolation. We predict the AMG GT 53 delivers a extra partaking expertise than the Audi S7 or BMW M850i, although the Porsche Panamera 4S delivers comparable driving pleasure.
