To make the latest promotional clip for the Mercedes AMG GT Daimler’s media team went to the amazing Europa Park in Rust, Germany. As with most of their recent ads, the story of this one happens at night, when the sports car goes through “magical and dangerous” places to catch some real stars.
As you would expect, those real stars are a number of other Mercedes models. The question is, why do these Mercs congregate at an amusement park at night? Creepy…
With 510 horsepower from a 4.0 liter bi-turbo V8 engine, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a super sophisticated chassis and suspension system, not to mention advanced driving aids, Mercedes AMG GT is more at home on a race track than a theme park. Unlike the previous high-end AMG models, the GT is a true sports car, not a barking mad muscle car dressed in an Armani suit.
