Mercedes came on the scene recently with the AMG GT to take on the 911 that has long established itself with little or no direct rivals. Yet again AMG will be matching Porsche with a hybrid powertrain, early reports suggest it'll be in the neighborhood of 800-hp in some configurations. As developments on the hybrid systems of both models come out, use this thread to share and compare details because ultimately we'll want to see their strengths and weaknesses.
I was not expecting the AMG GT to go 4 door, and I have to admit that its better looking than I had anticipated. I doubt that Porsche will ever go this route with the 992, but there is something to be said about a family hauler that's setting Nürburgring records.

A baby Panamera called the "Pajun" is apparently in the works and should do some damage to similar sedans, even the upcoming Taycan can give that AMG a run for its money.
I'm sure that the Taycan will be a more than worthy rival of the AMG GT 4 door. I know that Merc has stated that future AMG models will be getting electrification, but that's probably still a few years out.
Edmunds put the 992 against the BMW 8 Series and according to the video there's a big difference between the two cars. They called the 8 Series a sedan in a coupe body while they said the 992 is a "real sports car" and is easier to live with.
Carwow put the 992 Carrera 4S up against the 718 Boxster GTS in one of their classic drag race, rolling race, and brake test videos. The Carrera 4S wins each round which is to be expected, but the battle of the Porsches is a bit closer than I expected.
Here are the key highlights:
- 1/4 Mile...
Carfection compared the two and offered some great insight although its unlike to convert you to the Evora.
