The new Mercedes AMG GT S is a very handsome car when it’s sitting still, but it looks most majestic while on the move, especially on the race track. Here the guys from Motorsport Magazine take the GT for a lap around the equally majestic Magny-Cours race track in France. The combination that results, as you’d expect, is a sight to behold.

The old Formula 1 fans among you will remember Magny-Cours as a one of the coolest F1 venues of the yesteryear. The part of the track the AMG GT tackles in this video is the 2.5 km Club track and it is still mighty magnificent:
