Mercedes-AMG GT Fires at Porsche 911 in New Ad
Mercedes is awfully proud of its all-new AMG GT sports car.
The German automaker has released a new video, titled “Dreamcar” in which it boasts how the GT has overtaken the car you dreamed of as a child. The commercial shows the new Mercedes-AMG GT passes what looks like a Porsche 911. Mercedes is targeting the German sports car directly by pricing its new performance machine within the same territory as Porsche’s vaunted nameplate.
