Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door is the quicker car and costs less at RM2,088,888 against RM2,238,888, with 630 hp, 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h and 316 km/h flat out. The Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class answers with more space: five seats, a 3,216 mm wheelbase, 12 airbags and a four-year warranty. Both use a 3,982 cc engine, all-wheel drive and carry the same RM6,549 annual road tax, so the choice is speed and boot space versus cabin room and cover.
AMG GT 4-Door
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door if you want the faster AMG, a bigger 456-litre boot and do not need five seats.
AMG S-Class
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG S-Class if rear space, five-seat practicality, 12 airbags and a four-year warranty matter more than the last 0.4 seconds to 100 km/h.
