What’s it like to drive?
Reviewers opinion
"And sporty coupe it most certainly is. It’ll do the 0–100 km/h sprint in 4.0-seconds and onto a limited 250 km/h, unless you spec the AMG Driver’s Package which will derestrict it to see you reach 290 km/h. With the changes to the front suspension in the coupe, the handling is markedly better than the sedan, with a quicker, more responsive turn-in.."
