This 2016 example is a low-mileage car finished in Designo Diamond White, enhanced with a respected RENNtech package. It sits on Cars and Bids at $3,100 with seven days to go.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowThe first-generation AMG GT S has settled into an accessible corner of the used supercar market. According to Kelley Blue Book and current listings, the 2016 GT S coupe carries a fair purchase price close to $63,250, with clean examples generally trading from the high $50,000s into the low $70,000s, against a sticker that started past $130,000 when new.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a low-mileage example like this sits close to $58,000 to $70,000, most likely close to $62,000 to $66,000, with the low mileage supporting the figure and the modifications below tempering it. At $3,100 with seven days remaining and a reserve, the bidding should climb into that range.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe car is a low-mileage, tastefully enhanced example. Finished in Designo Diamond White Metallic over a Black and Red Pepper interior, it runs the hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, rated at 503 horsepower in stock form, through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic to the rear wheels. It carries the AMG Exterior Night Styling Package, carbon fiber trim, and just 26,200 miles, and the important driveshaft recall has been performed.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsThe central consideration is the modifications. It wears the RENNtech R1 package, which adds an ECU tune, blow-off valve adapters, and stainless downpipes with sport catalytic converters, along with H&R lowering springs and BC Forged wheels. RENNtech is a respected AMG specialist, and the factory springs and the RENNtech handheld tuner are included, so the car can be returned toward stock.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsTwo caveats apply. The sport-cat downpipes may not pass emissions in some states, so confirm registration where the buyer lives, and the claimed 611-horsepower output is not dyno-verified. Modifications also narrow the buyer pool and rarely recoup their cost. There is minor wear, including a front-splitter scratch, wheel scratches, and seat-bolster wear, and the tires carry 2023 and 2024 date codes.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeMercedes-AMGModelGT S CoupeYear2016Mileage26,200 milesEngine4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8Power503 hp and 479 lb.ft of torque stock, with a RENNtech tune claiming 611 hpTransmission7-speed dual-clutch automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorDesigno Diamond White MetallicInterior colorBlack and Red PepperCurrent bid$3,100, with seven days leftInterested in this 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT S Coupe? View the listing here.What makes the AMG GT S uniqueThe AMG GT S marked a significant moment for Mercedes-AMG, its first ground-up sports car designed and built entirely in-house as the successor to the gullwing SLS. Where the SLS was a dramatic, V8-powered grand tourer, the GT S was sharper and more focused, with a long hood housing a hand-built twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 mounted behind the front axle for near-ideal weight distribution. The result is a genuine driver's car with a snarling, characterful engine, an adaptive suspension, and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, wrapped in one of the most beautiful shapes Mercedes has produced.2016 Mercedes-AMG GT SCars & BidsThat combination of hand-built craftsmanship, a thunderous V8, and dramatic, exotic proportions is what gives the GT S its enduring appeal. It delivers a visceral, old-school sports-car experience that its turbocharged rivals struggle to match on character alone, and as the car that launched the AMG GT dynasty, it has the makings of a modern classic now that prices have fallen within reach.My takeThis is a lot of hand-built AMG for the money, and the low mileage makes it an appealing example. The GT S is one of the most charismatic sports cars of its era, and the RENNtech package, from a genuinely respected AMG specialist, adds meaningful performance while keeping the factory parts on hand for a return to stock. The Designo Diamond White over Red Pepper specification is a striking combination.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits close to $58,000 to $70,000, most likely close to $62,000 to $66,000, with the modifications the main factor to weigh against the low mileage. Before bidding, confirm the sport-cat downpipes can be registered where the buyer lives, verify the tune and service history, and arrange a specialist inspection. Handle that, and this is a gorgeous, hand-built V8 sports car and the founding member of the AMG GT line, bought at an accessible price.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
