Verdict
These two coupes serve very different Malaysian briefs. The RM1,882,888 AMG GT is the fast two-seater: its 577 hp V8 reaches 100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and 315 km/h, well beyond the Porsche’s 4.8 seconds and 230 km/h. At RM749,000, the Cayenne Coupe Electric gives five seats, five doors, a 584-litre boot and 661 km of EV range from its 113-kWh battery. Its RM665 annual road tax also undercuts the AMG’s RM6,549 sharply. For daily passenger and luggage duties, the Porsche is the rational choice; the Mercedes is for pace.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT if a 3.2-second 0-100 km/h time, 315 km/h top speed and V8 power matter more than rear-seat space or running costs.
Pick the Porsche Cayenne Coupe Electric if you need five seats, 584 litres of boot space, 661 km of EV range and far lower annual road tax.
