Earlier warning of stopped traffic, traffic signals, dangerous road conditions, weather, or accidents, can keep driver's safer and prevent crashes. The Mercedes AMG GT has Car-to-X Communication, a system that seamlessly communicates important warnings to the driver about impending danger, if they're available. The M8 doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the M8 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding and daytime running lights.

There are over 10 percent more Mercedes dealers than there are BMW dealers, which makes it easier should you ever need service under the AMG GT’s warranty.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 produces 37 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 553) than the M8’s 4.4 turbo V8.

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the Mercedes AMG GT higher (5 out of 10) than the BMW M8 (3). This means the Mercedes AMG GT produces up to 16.5 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the M8 every 15,000 miles.

A nine-speed automatic (SMG) is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the M8.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The M8 doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger tires than the M8 (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:275/35R20 & R:285/35R20).

The Mercedes AMG GT’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 30 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the M8’s standard 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT offers optional 21-inch wheels. The M8’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers an available active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. BMW doesn’t offer an active suspension on the M8.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mercedes AMG GT is 2.3 inches wider in the front and 1.6 inches wider in the rear than the average track on the M8.

The Mercedes AMG GT is 5.7 inches shorter than the M8 Coupe/Convertible, making the Mercedes AMG GT easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The front grille of the Mercedes AMG GT uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The M8 doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Mercedes AMG GT offers optional massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the M8.
