Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53

2020 Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4MATIC+ finished in optional MANUFAKTUR Graphite Grey Magno with the optional 21-inch AMG forged cross-spoke wheels, Aero Package, Burmester sound system and enough extras to make the original invoice look like a mortgage application. Over €250,000 new… and worth every cent of somebody else’s money. This is not your average AMG. In fact, there are believed to be only THREE GT53s in the country and currently not another one for sale in Ireland. Then there’s the registration… “53”. If you know, you know. If you don’t, don’t worry — the car will explain itself fairly quickly once you press the loud pedal. Autocar once described the AMG GT four-door as “a car with the breadth of ability to embarrass both luxury saloons and sports cars alike,” while Evo called it “an AMG with genuine theatre.” They weren’t wrong. This thing feels like an S-Class that went to the gym, developed anger issues and discovered launch control. Powered by AMG’s 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six with EQ Boost hybrid assistance, the GT53 delivers relentless pace, ridiculous grip and a soundtrack that should probably require planning permission. It’s devastatingly quick but somehow still refined enough to cross the country in complete comfort while massaging your back and cooling your seats. Peak German over-engineering. 82,000 kilometres from new with just 3 owners, this Irish car has been maintained exclusively by Mercedes-Benz main dealers throughout its life and will receive a fresh service from ourselves prior to sale. The wheels have just been professionally refurbished, the car has been ceramic coated and the condition throughout is exceptional. Spec highlights include: — MANUFAKTUR Graphite Grey Magno paint (€9k option) — 21-inch AMG forged wheels (€5k option) — AMG Aero Package — Burmester surround sound — Heads-up display — Heated & cooled memory seats — Massaging seats — Panoramic roof — Ambient lighting — AMG Performance styling throughout — Grey open-pore ash wood trim — Driver Assistance Package — GUARD 360 protection package The GT53 sits in a strange sweet spot in the motoring world. Too rare for the usual AMG crowd, too fast for most super saloons and too usable to sit hidden away in a garage under a dust cover beside someone’s midlife crisis Harley-Davidson. Cars like this don’t really come up in Ireland. Especially not Irish cars. Especially not with this spec. Especially not with this registration. A seriously rare machine and a genuine opportunity for someone who wants something special without buying the same RS6 as everyone else on the road. Deane Motors. Probably the only place where a €250,000 AMG and a bad financial decision can happen in the same conversation.
