As the fifth independent series after the SLS, the first generation of the two door GT, the GT 4 Door Coupe and the SL, the new Mercedes-AMG® GT Coupe once again demonstrates the remarkable expertise of the Affalterbach development team.

Exterior design: The evolution of a modern, iconic sports car design

The expanded dimensional concept with available 2+2 seats offered designers completely new design options for the exterior. The long wheelbase, short overhangs and steeply raked windshield provide the new AMG® GT Coupe with a compact, powerful appearance. The balanced proportions with a sleek greenhouse, voluminous wheel arches and expressive front styling signal the presence of the powerful sports car that is also suitable for everyday use. The vehicle’s profile is characterized by flowing surfaces without beads or edges, right down to the flush-mounted door handles. The sculpted rear shoulder area also contributes to the dynamic aesthetic. AMG® alloy wheels, which are almost flush with the body, further emphasize power and dynamics. The active rear spoiler is seamlessly integrated into the large trunk lid.

The deep, wide AMG®-specific radiator grille creates a dominant presence, while the lower air intake visually accentuates the width of the vehicle. The sporty front end also showcases power domes on the hood.

Distinctive DIGITAL LIGHT headlights, fitted standard, further underline the sports car’s unmistakable appearance. Precise graphics in the darkened interior of the headlights with brushed surfaces provide visual depth. The daytime running light signet with the characteristic three “light dots” makes the AMG® GT instantly recognizable from a distance.

The compact greenhouse with a fastback silhouette and large trunk lid allows the design of a low and sculpted back end with an active, deployable spoiler. The detailed design of the fender trim sets an accentuated contrast to the clean, flowing surfaces. The strongly pronounced shoulder gives the vehicle a perfect balance of elegance and sportiness. The flat, horizontally connected LED taillights are seamlessly integrated in the design of the AMG® GT. The dark LED taillights compliment the design of the headlights with a three-dimensional “light dots” signet. These feature the running light indicator function and “Coming Home/Leaving Home” animation as standard. The expressive rear diffuser with integrated twin tailpipe accents rounds off the powerful back end.

Interior Design

The interior design of the new AMG® GT Coupe uses AMG®’s high-performance sports car DNA, which is skillfully translated into a digital world and developed further. Elegant materials, superb craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail underscore the luxurious cabin. The cockpit design, right down to the central display in the center console, is focused on the driver and impresses with a harmonious overall look. The fully digital instrument cluster is integrated into a three-dimensional visor.

Powertrain: The new Mercedes-AMG® GT Coupe: Engine, transmission and four-wheel drive.

Handcrafted AMG® 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine available in two performance levels AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive equipped for the first time on the AMG® GT
In the AMG® GT 63, the Handcrafted AMG® 4.0L Biturbo engine produces 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque over a wide rpm range from 2,500 to 5,000 rpm. The Coupe’s top engine conveys absolute confidence at every engine speed. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds, as well as a top speed of 196 mph illustrates this. In the AMG® GT 55, the V8 engine delivers 469 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The sprint from a standstill to 60 mph takes in 3.8 seconds, on the way to a top speed of 183 mph.

The further developed AMG® 4.0-liter V8 engine uses twin turbochargers, with the two turbochargers located between the V-cylinder banks rather than on the outside. The advantages of the “hot inside V” are a compact engine design, spontaneous turbocharger response and low exhaust emissions thanks to optimal airflow to the close-coupled catalysts.

Turbochargers with twin-scroll technology are used to further improve responsiveness. Here, the turbocharger housing is divided into two parallel flow channels. Together with two separate exhaust ducts in the exhaust manifold, this makes it possible to control the exhaust gases on the turbine impeller separately. One channel is fed by the exhaust gases of the first and second cylinders of a cylinder bank, the other by the exhaust gases of the third and fourth cylinders. The aim is to prevent the individual cylinders from having mutually adverse effects on the gas cycle. This reduces exhaust-gas back pressure and improves gas exchange. The result is more power due to better cylinder filling with fresh mixture, more torque at low rpms and immediate response.
