Mercedes GT targets Porsche buyers

MERCEDES-BENZ is targeting potential Porsche buyers with a new top-of-the-line sports car that costs about half the price of its predecessor.

The Mercedes GT, which was presented this week in Affalterbach, Germany, to replace the €225,505 SLS, will start at about €100,000. That doesn’t mean Mercedes skimps on performance. The two-seater boasts more power and faster acceleration than the Porsche 911, adding zip to a brand best known for safe and comfortable sedans.
