A supercar with creature comforts

The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S may not look made for the track, but it drives as if it is. And it’ll hold your drinks, to boot.

On its website, Mercedes-Benz describes the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT63 S as “a four-door supercar”.

This is a bit much, notwithstanding the fact that at 16 mpg (14.7 litres per 100km) in the city, it is about as thirsty as one. Mention a supercar built for four and – for me at least – the image of the $US1.7 million ($2.3 million) Koenigsegg Gemera would spring to mind, or the menacing and tactical Lamborghini Urus, or even the Ferrari GTC4Lusso. Not a car that, from the outside, looks like what it is: a Mercedes sedan.
