AMG GT

The SS125 Orientale Sarda is one of Europe's finest roads for those who drive: the stretch between Dorgali and Baunei climbs towards the Genna Silana pass, threading together fast corners, open straights and views over the Supramonte that stop you mid-breath. It is a route that asks for exactly what the AMG GT delivers — grand-touring stability, supercar power and brakes that never tire. We placed it, by right, among the most beautiful roads in Sardinia to drive in a supercar.

Unlike the most extreme coupés, the GT demands no sacrifices: 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive brings reassurance when the weather turns over the Gennargentu, the 2+2 layout swallows weekend luggage, and the chassis softens obligingly for the evening run back to the coast. It is the supercar to use every day of the holiday, not just on special occasions — the very heart of our philosophy of supercar rental in Sardinia.

It begins with the sound. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, set back behind the front axle, burbles low at touring speeds and swells into a full-blooded roar past four thousand rpm, the exhaust punctuating every lift of the throttle in Sport+. The nine-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT answers the paddles with instant engagement, and the 3.2-second 0–100 km/h sprint arrives with an ordered violence — not a hint of wheelspin.

Then there is the chassis. Seated almost over the rear axle, you sense the long bonnet aiming for the apex and a front end of surgical precision. Adaptive suspension holds the body flat over the Orientale's crests and compressions, while the steering relays the grain of Sardinian asphalt without ever turning nervous. It is a car that shortens distances and lengthens the desire to keep driving.

The GT we offer for rent comes in two versions. The 63 is the classic interpretation: a 585 hp twin-turbo V8, a pure balance of torque, sound and traction — the choice of those who want the ritual of the great combustion engine, unmediated. It is the configuration that reconciles spirited driving with long coastal transfers.

The 63 S E Performance adds a supplementary electric punch to the V8: torque arrives even earlier, corner-exit acceleration out of the hairpins becomes brutal, and the hybrid technology descends directly from AMG's Formula 1 experience. To start driving the moment you land, delivery in Olbia is the most convenient solution: from the terminal you are immediately en route to the east coast.
