This is for the buyer who wants an AMG GT but also has to do the school run. Mercedes-AMG took the low, wide two-door and added rear doors, a usable back seat and a boot, then pointed it straight at the Porsche Panamera. The pitch is simple. Keep the drama, add the practicality.
Charli's walk around from the Geneva floor picks up the long bonnet, the fat haunches and a cabin that looks lifted from a concept car. The screens run the width of the dash and the rear seats are shaped for two adults rather than a token bench. It is a big car working hard to feel like a sports car, and on the stand it pulls the look off.
If you want the badge and the noise without explaining to your family why there is no back seat, this is the AMG that makes sense. Buyers chasing a pure driver's car will still want the two-door. For everyone else, the four-door GT is the clever pick, and the Panamera has reason to look over its shoulder.
