The new Beast in the stable. It's a 2018 MB AMG GT.
I had a MB AMG SL with the V-12 that I really missed. Per Benz, the new GT is supposed to be what the SL would have evolved into. We shall see.

Oddly enough your thread title is the name I came up with for my replacement ride early this year...But don't worry, Hunter, we'll work out a licensing agreement...And per the picture, your new ride makes you look considerably more youthful......Ben

Good for you---and enjoy every mile
The only real problem with my S550 is that I don't drive it enough

It wasn't all that long ago that driving a MB was one of the more boring endeavors. Now----sot so much! I have to admit a bit of devil comes out in me when I have a chance to embarrass someone. Kids with their $1000 sets of wheels, a $500 exhaust system and a $250 car want to showoff, always win my attention.

Dave, I drive relatively slower than I used to drive - particularly in the snow and ice. I don't need all the extras on the Benz, but getting them now helps at resale time.
One of the fun features of the new Benz is the special programable exhaust system. You can literally dial in a race mode wherein the exhaust is routed by flaps to a straight-through system. Or, you can defeat all the safety programs (e.g., wheelspin and brakes) to make the car drive like an old muscle car. But, I'll stay away from fiddling with the programs. The car is smarter than me as it is.
