Spied: 2017-18 AMG GT-S Full CAMO

Hey Guys,
Don't know if anyone will find this interesting, but I came across this car while in traffic on Miami Beach. From the dimension it appears to be the latest testing of the newest SLS model. It was too small to be the S-Coupe, but it looks very similar from the rear. I'm currently in a C300 while my car is in the shop, so I'll be posting a mini review later, but so far so good. Anyway here it is for your viewing pleasure

Nice catch! Not a Merc fan but still interesting to see a mule up close in public. Must be some warm weather test run.

Yea, I think by the time I got this shot we were in the 70s, but you got the idea.

Ahhh...very interesting. I had no idea this car even existed, but it seems very likely that this is what I saw. Its too big to be an SLS (second small window), but too small for an S-Coupe (not a boat). Thank you, I was hoping for this sort of response that sheds some light on what this thing was. I definitely recognize the huge star in the front fascia and the vents behind the front wheels. I'll have to see what the back looks like.

Yup it was definitely a MB AMG GT-S. The back is identical to the other photos. It is clear that this is intended as a cross between the SLS and S-coupe.

No, that was the SLS which is out of production now.


This is the new AMG GT which is more of a 911/R8 fighter than the SLS which was a bit more upmarket (not counting GT3 or Turbos obviously). Like many AMG coming out recently, there is both a standard model and the more powerful S models. I'm not sure how you can tell between the GT and GT S yet, but its one of those in camo.

Not sure that this has any significance, but it has the squared off quad tips that the newer AMG models are equipped with.
