That makes it $27,445 cheaper than its main rival, the Porsche[ 911 GT3](). Interestingly, that's also the exact same starting price as the much more powerful, hybrid AMG GT 63 S E Performance. So for the same money, you can choose either backbreaking straight-line speed or nimble backroad agility. The Pro sits atop the AMG GT lineup with its hybrid sibling but it's a very different car. For starters, its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8's 603 horsepower is 202 horses less than the hybrid version's 805 horsepower. And the Pro's 627 lb-ft of torque seems almost embarrassing, compared to the hybrid's 1,047 lb-ft. So why are they the same price? ![]() ![]() Well, the AMG GT Pro has all of the same suspension goodies as the hybrid version, including AMG's clever hydraulic Active Ride Control with active roll stabilization and rear-wheel steering. It also has additional brake cooling, standard carbon ceramic brakes, and active cooling for the all-wheel drive system. More carbon fiber air deflectors up front, a fixed carbon fiber rear wing, and active underbody aero should improve aerodynamics, too. Oh, and it gets ultra-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Extreme tires wrapped around its 21-inch split five-spoke wheels. If the AMG GT Pro is a competitor to Porsche's 911 GT3, we can look at the AMG GT 63 S E Performance as a [911 Turbo S]() rival. Both brands' respective models are priced similarly to each other but both offer very different experiences. The hybrid AMG GT 63 S E Performance is faster, hitting 60 mph in a claimed 2.7 seconds, but the 4,227-pound AMG GT Pro should be more fun to drive and even more capable on track, thanks to the same trick suspension but less weight. The Hybrid is considerably heftier at 4,806 pounds. ![]() ![]() How the AMG GT Pro will stack up against the 911 GT3 is yet to be seen, though. While cheaper, the AMG is heavier, more complex, and automatic-only. However, its hydraulic suspension is quite clever and its all-wheel-drive system should help it cling to tracks harder, especially in the wet. So if you're more concerned with outright performance and better all-weather capability, the AMG GT 63 Pro looks like it could be a relative bargain. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
