To maximize occupant safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Mercedes AMG GT have pretensioners to eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The Toyota Supra doesn’t offer pretensioners.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s pre-crash front seatbelts will tighten automatically in the event the vehicle detects an impending crash, improving protection against injury significantly. The Supra doesn’t offer pre-crash pretensioners.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard Post Collision Brake, which automatically applies the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Supra doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

The Mercedes AMG GT has all-wheel drive to maximize traction under poor conditions, especially in ice and snow. The Supra doesn’t offer all-wheel drive.

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 seemlesly communicates important warnings to the driver about impending danger, if they're available. The Supra doesn’t offer a system that can receive automated systems from infrastructure or other vehicles.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard Surround View System to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Supra only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Mercedes AMG GT has a standard blind spot warning system that uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them. A system to reveal vehicles in the Supra’s blind spot costs extra.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Active Brake Assist automatically engages the brakes to help avoid a collision. Toyota charges extra for Rear Cross Traffic Alert on the Supra.

Both the Mercedes AMG GT and the Supra have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, driver alert monitors and available lane departure warning systems.

The Mercedes AMG GT weighs 841 to 1162 pounds more than the Toyota Supra. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

Warranty

The AMG GT comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Supra’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 14,000 miles sooner.

Engine

The Mercedes AMG GT 55’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 produces 214 more horsepower (469 vs. 255) and 221 lbs.-ft. more torque (516 vs. 295) than the Supra’s standard 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder. The Mercedes AMG GT 55’s 4.0 turbo V8 produces 87 more horsepower (469 vs. 382) and 148 lbs.-ft. more torque (516 vs. 368) than the Supra’s optional 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder. The Mercedes AMG GT 63’s standard 4.0 turbo V8 produces 195 more horsepower (577 vs. 382) and 222 lbs.-ft. more torque (590 vs. 368) than the Supra’s optional 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder.

As tested in Car and Driver the Mercedes AMG GT 63 is faster than the Toyota Supra turbo 6 cyl. (automatics tested):

	AMG GT	Supra
Zero to 60 MPH	2.7 sec	4.3 sec

Fuel Economy and Range

The Mercedes AMG GT has 4.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Supra (18.5 vs. 13.7 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

Transmission and Drivetrain

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 Supra.

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 Supra doesn’t offer an SMG.

All wheel drive, available in the Mercedes AMG GT, provides the best traction for acceleration in wet, dry, and icy conditions. In corners, all wheel drive allows both outside wheels to provide power, balancing the car. This allows for better handling. The Toyota Supra is not available with all wheel drive.

Brakes and Stopping

For better stopping power the Mercedes AMG GT’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Supra:

	AMG GT	Supra 2.0	Supra Premium/45th Anniversary
Front Rotors	15.4 inches	13 inches	13.7 inches
Rear Rotors	14.2 inches	13 inches	13.6 inches

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Mercedes AMG GT has larger tires than the Supra (F:295/30R20 & R:305/30R20 vs. F:255/35R19 & R:275/35R19).

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 Supra 2.0’s standard 40 series tires. The Mercedes AMG GT’s tires are lower profile than the Supra 3.0’s 35 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mercedes AMG GT has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Supra 2.0. The Mercedes AMG GT’s optional 21-inch wheels are larger than the 19-inch wheels on the Supra 3.0.

Suspension and Handling

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

The Mercedes AMG GT’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The Supra doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Mercedes AMG GT’s wheelbase is 9.1 inches longer than on the Supra (106.3 inches vs. 97.2 inches).

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Mercedes AMG GT is 3.5 inches wider in the front and 3.8 inches wider in the rear than on the Supra.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63 handles at 1.06 G’s, while the Supra 3.0 Premium pulls only 1.00 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Mercedes AMG GT 63 executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Supra 3.0 (23.4 seconds @ .89 average G’s vs. 24 seconds @ .83 average G’s).

Chassis

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 Supra doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

Passenger Space

The Mercedes AMG GT has standard seating for 4 passengers; the Supra can only carry 2.

Cargo Capacity

The Mercedes AMG GT has a much larger trunk with its rear seat up than the Supra (11.3 vs. 10.2 cubic feet).

To make loading and unloading groceries and cargo easier when your hands are full, the Mercedes AMG GT’s power trunk can be opened or closed just by kicking your foot under the back bumper, leaving your hands completely free. The Supra doesn’t offer a power or hands-free opening trunk.

Ergonomics

Unlike the driver-only memory system in the Supra 3.0, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard driver and passenger memory, so that when drivers switch, the memory setting adjusts the driver’s seat, steering wheel position, outside mirror angle, climate settings and radio stations and the front passenger seat also adjusts to the new passenger’s preset preferences.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Supra doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s standard Keyless-Go allow you to unlock the doors from either outside door handle, open the trunk, and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. Smart Key System standard on the Supra doesn’t offer a sensor on the trunk.

Heated windshield washer fluid is standard on the Mercedes AMG GT to defrost the washer nozzles and quickly clear ice and frost from the windshield without scraping. The Supra doesn’t offer heated windshield washer fluid.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the Mercedes AMG GT has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The Supra doesn’t offer cornering lights. The Mercedes AMG GT also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s sun-visors swivel front-to-side to block glare from the side windows. The Supra’s visors are fixed into the windshield header.

Optional air-conditioned seats in the Mercedes AMG GT keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Supra doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

On extremely cold winter days, the Mercedes AMG GT’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the car heater warms up. The Supra doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

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 Supra.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Mercedes AMG GT has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the center console. Only the Supra 3.0 Manual/Premium/45th Anniversary offers wireless charging.

The Mercedes AMG GT’s Active Parking Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Supra doesn’t offer an automated parking system.
