00:00 I wish I had $117,000 because I love this car.
00:04 It's fantastic.
00:06 I'd like to bottle this sound and then spray it on myself
00:09 every morning in the shower.
00:12 It's so good.
00:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:23 You wish you were sitting where I'm sitting.
00:25 This thing is so good.
00:28 OK, right.
00:29 What is it?
00:29 Well, you're probably familiar with the AMG GT and the GTS.
00:33 The C, this guy, 550 horsepower.
00:37 It's the steroidal Goldilocks right in the middle.
00:40 It's the one you want.
00:41 Trust me.
00:41 So it's got that 550 horsepower, direct injected,
00:45 dry sump, twin turbo, hot V V8.
00:48 And because it's dry sumped, it sits super low down
00:51 in the chassis.
00:52 Also, this car is effectively mid-engine.
00:54 I mean, the engine is right here.
00:56 It's just right in the middle of the car.
01:01 All that power is transmitted via a carbon fiber drive
01:05 shaft to a dual clutch transaxle, which is in the
01:09 rear of the car.
01:09 Both the engine and the transmission
01:11 are on active mounts.
01:13 The car has four wheel steering.
01:15 It has a sports exhaust.
01:17 It has carbon ceramic brakes.
01:18 It has everything you want in a supercar.
01:21 And then it sounds like this.
01:23 [ENGINE REVVING]
01:26 I mean, come on.
01:29 I don't want to kill this biker.
01:31 Looks great.
01:32 Drives awesome.
01:33 Sounds triple awesome.
01:35 And it's not a Porsche.
01:37 So if you're looking to drop $180,000 on a sports car, you
01:42 can't do much better than this.
01:44 You really can't.
01:45 Anyhow, thank you very much for watching.
