It is photoshoped

The rear of the car as been reavealed in driveclub, and it doesn't look like this picture.

Here is one of the driveclub screenshots (I modified it so we could see better):

Looks a bit strange.

 

[CodeRedR51]

The outside is fine, but the interior? Holy center console batman!

 

[sems4arsenal]

That's one stunning looking car in my opinion

 

[Nish]

The front of the car is fine. The back is rather odd, I want to say Porsche like but it's really not. That center console is rather large and for some reason reminds me of a butte rising out of the leather around it.

 

[Omnis]

I think they screwed up on the headlights. Does anyone else think this would look rad with simple, circular headlight housings?

 

[VXR]

Blimey, that's visually challenged!

The F-Type is leagues ahead in shape and detail.

 

[Cano]

I think those pics in yellow don't really do it justice. In all thruth it looks MILES better than the car it replaces, but that's kinda not too difficult I find it really, really gorgeous-looking.

I for whatever reason feel like the SLS will be a timeless car, the styling just has that look about it, but the new AMG GT... No, it looks like the rest of Merc's current lineup, it doesn't look timeless. And it most certainly isn't pretty. The front is alright, but the back is just awful. Though I'll give it some time, maybe I'll adjust. But I think I'll stick to drooling over the SLS.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

This seems more like the 300SL than the SLS. I like both, but I think I prefer the SLS for the reasons @Skython listed. I don't find the GT ugly, but it uses Mercs current design language which makes cars look really boring. the proportions are there, there are some good lines, but it's just not soulful enough. Add to the fact that it'll have an auto or a DCT, and I'd have an F-Type coupe over this by far.

Merc's really insistent on that weird, three-dimensional starry-night grille, aren't they? Still looks off. It seems like a really colour-sensitive shape; it looks all sorts of awkward at Monza in red, the profile looking like a bad Photoshop of a Cayman top dropped onto the existing SLS' main body. But then in the liquid silver @Cano posts, the profile shot looks far more elegant, with curves and shapes that highlight how slab-sided the SLS is, comparatively. I like how much the rear lights emphasize the width of the car, and while those headlights are an ugly, unusual shape, it's still less gawky than its predecessor.

But that front-end! The SLS was an improvement on the gauche SLR before it, but it was still pretty heavy-handed.

...but they're both auto-only.

I know, but what I'm saying is that if the Merc were offered with a manual it would give it something over the Jag. As it is now, I don't see any reason to get the GT over the Jag.

 

[G.T.Ace]

I'm digging it! Has some 911 and Z4 influence, but that's not bad. Looks more sporty than the SLS.
Can't wait for the GT3 version.

 

[TexasTyme214]

Very BMW Z8 + hardtop, but that's a good thing. I can't wait to hopefully see this in a GT3 trim.

 

[GTboyz]

I think this car looks great but in my opinion, the most beautiful car MB has ever produced is the SLS. It's perfect.

But i do prefer this car than the F-Type.

Fuel economy, turbocharged snobbery, not looking like a cock.

 

[JMoney]

It looks too much like an SL in the front. Now I'm going to be turning my head like an idiot at ever SL that goes by, thinking it's an AMG GT.

Oh, and the name bothers me. I think it's the first ever Mercedes that doesn't have a number in it's name (except the CLK-GTR) yet they still didn't give it an actual name, just an overused acronym that has appeared in different trims on probably 25% of the world's sports cars.

I think you lost the first and last battles when you decided to buy an 80 grand sports car.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I loved how absolutely stately and unashamedly resplendent the SLS was. It was a mic drop. A headshot. An elegant sledgehammer. This looks a little more cretin and vague. Like Sir Christopher Wren vs Robert Stern. Not a fan.

You'd be surprised how some people think.

And how is Mercedes AMG GT better than Jaguar F-Type in this?

Because you'd probably need a microscope.

 

[Robin]

A bit too curvy IMO. I like my Merc's angular

And you wouldn't with the Mercedes?

Have we already forgotten about the SLS?

The car looks great. I'm honestly just happy about these new competitors in the $80-100k sports car range. Now we wait for Aston's response with the V8 Vantage successor.

From the back it looks like squashed Panamera..
