The video revolves around a dream a child is having about a Porsche 911 on a race track. Out of the blue however, the brand new Mercedes-AMG GT effortlessly overtakes the 911 with the tagline ‘The car you dreamed of as a child has just been overtaken’. Strong words, but after driving the brand new AMG GT on the track and on the street, we must say that it is immensely impressive. Better than a 911? Well that’s yet to be decided.
