........................Jaguar XE Project 8: 7:21.23
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+: 7:25.41
.......................Alfa Romeo Giulia QV: 7:32
..............Porsche Panamera Turbo: 7:38

 

One thing they don’t like is people calling the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé a sedan. Leaving aside the fact that the car is technically a five-door liftback, Mercedes needed to find a category that would allow the AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ to claim Nürburgring honors.

Notice that Mercedes avoided using the term “four-door sedan,” because of marketing incompatibilities (and probably the quicker Jaguar XE SV Project 8). However, the carmaker also avoided using the term “four-door coupé,” which is rather curious.

 

Just to be on the safe side, Mercedes has proclaimed the AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ as “the fastest fully-fledged four-seater production car to ever conquer the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.”
 

Why “fully-fledged,” then? Probably as a snub to Jaguar, whose XE SV Project 8 is a limited-run special with a production of 300 units. In contrast, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door is only limited by market demand.
