To show off the grip of its Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, Mercedes sent Harvey Specter from Suits up to the arctic.
Gabriel Macht is known for playing sophisticated and powerful lawyer Harvey Specter in Suits.
But in a new video for Mercedes, he traded in corporate charisma for some off-roading action.
Up in the cold wilderness of Finland, he got to grips with the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe in a trip that involved a lot of snow and a whole lot of drifting.
What happened when Harvey Specter got acquainted with a Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe
On TV, Gabriel Mecht plays a lawyer who is strategical and in control.
Harvey Specter is credited with helping inspire many to take up a career in the legal field.
But could Specter’s cool factor translate over into a driving demonstration?
Mecht was up in Lapland with Mercedes, where he was given the opportunity to push the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe to the max.
Throughout the video, Mecht said that he’d been anticipating the car’s development across locations from Affalterbach to Nardó to Las Vegas.
Now, he was getting to put the pedal to the metal for himself – out in the snowy landscapes of Finland.
“This grip is insane. We’re on ice and it feels like tarmac,” Mecht gushed.
A particular highlight was activating the Sport+ mode on the rotating steering wheel dial.
Once this was activated, a digital V8 roared to life, bringing with it a simulated rev counter and paddle shifters.
You would never know this is an EV with features like that.
You don’t need a celebrity to tell you how awesome this car is
There are two powertrain options up for grabs with this EV – the GT 63 4Matic+ model comes with 1,153 hp and 1,475 lb-ft of torque, and the Mercedes-AMG GT 55, which comes to 805 hp and 1,328 lb-ft of torque.
Those figures speak for themselves, don’t they?
Speaking of impressive figures, it should take around 11 minutes to get from 10 to 80 percent of charge.
It’s no wonder then that the car has been a draw for Hollywood actors like Mecht and Brad Pitt.
