Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupe
Both the Aston Martin Vantage and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupe we are comparing this time have a classic long-nose, short-deck style. As for the exterior, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 has a heavy feel that is typical of Mercedes, while the Vantage retains the scent of traditional British “lightweight sports.”
The wheelbases are almost the same, but the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is 235mm longer in overall length, and the Vantage is about 80mm lower in overall height. While the Vantage has a muscular and shaped impression, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 can be said to have the form of a large sports car. The rear-wheel drive Vantage is about 200kg lighter in vehicle weight, so if you want to enjoy the joy of maneuvering a car on a winding road, the Vantage seems like the better choice.

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ Coupe
As a reflection of the values that Aston Martin has cultivated as a niche British sports car manufacturer, the Vantage is impressive for its simple yet meticulously crafted cockpit. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 features a large display screen and a luxurious interior with extensive use of chrome. Although the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is compact, it can also be optionally equipped with a “2+2” configuration that includes a rear seat.
The Vantage is priced at 26.9 million yen, while the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is priced at 27.52 million yen, making them both in the same price range. As mentioned above, they are both equipped with the same Mercedes-AMG engine, but are designed to reflect the opposing values of “British” and “German.” The ride quality is also quite different, so it may depend on which concept you are drawn to.
