How nice it is that the first proper Mercedes AMG GT review we feature is by one of the best motoring journalists in the world, Chris Harris. He is at Laguna Seca where Mercedes hosted a short press drive event to give the media its first taste of their delicious new recipe.
Before he hits the track for a full Mercedes AMG GT review, Chris spends some time in the pits where there is an AMG GT rolling chassis on display and explains the mechanical highlights of the car:
