The 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo and the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT S have been two of the most popular cars in recent history. They’re both gorgeous, powerful and offer excellent performance for their price tags. But how do they compare to one another? In this article, we’ll explore that question.
Design & Style
The 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo offers a unique model of the iconic sports car. It’s distinguished from other models in the GT3 range by its wide fender flares, which give it an active appearance that stands out from other cars on the road. The wheels also play a role in this design: They’re made of lightweight aluminum alloy, helping to reduce weight and boost performance.
The 2022 Mercedes AMG GT S takes a different approach to exterior design than its rivals do. Instead of emphasizing speed or power with exaggerated features like flared fenders or aggressive-looking wheels, it uses smooth lines and subtle curves throughout its bodywork to create an elegant look that’s sure to make heads turn wherever you drive it around town.
The 911’s interior is a little more luxurious than the GT S’s, but both are pretty standard for high-end sports cars. The AMG features a flat-bottom steering wheel that’s covered in Alcantara, while the Porsche has leather and Alcantara trimming on its own flat-bottom wheel. Both also offer heated seats, but only the AMG has an optional massage function—and even if it were included on both cars, there’d still be no way to top the 911 Turbo’s heated rear seats.
The GT S offers more storage room than any other car in its class; it has enough space under its front hood to fit two sets of golf clubs! But if you want even more space for your stuff, then head over to your local Porsche dealership: They’re offering an optional luggage compartment at no extra cost with every new purchase of their newest model.
Technology & Safety
For technology and safety, the 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo offers an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and wireless charging as standard. You can also add a 10.9-inch digital instrument cluster with four configurable displays that show everything from navigation directions to vehicle performance data.
The 2022 Mercedes AMG GT S comes with a 12.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen that integrates multiple functions such as the navigation system, audio system, and other controls, into one user interface. Plus, it includes a 4D cockpit display that provides more information about the car’s driving dynamics, including engine speed, oil temperature, and torque vectoring information in real-time on three HD screens above its center console.
The 911 has a few surprises up its sleeve—for example, it’s able to sense when the driver is going too fast and will lower your seatbelt automatically if you’re not wearing it after 5 seconds of driving above 80 mph! The car also comes with haptic feedback for touching buttons on either side of the steering wheel (both functionality and comfort).
Performance
The 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine that makes 572 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, mated to an eight-speed PDK transmission. The 2022 Mercedes AMG GT S is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 Engine that makes 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
The Bottom Line
If you’re looking for an all-around better car, go with the 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo. It’s cheaper than its German rival and offers better performance in almost every category: acceleration, handling, braking, and fuel economy.
