Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

The AMG GT debuted in 2016 as Mercedes-Benz’s flagship performance coupe. Two years later, it gained a convertible variant, called the roadster. The automaker also added a four-door version in 2019. Called the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, it shares a name with the two-door model but is actually based on the more pedestrian E-Class sedan. In 2022, the two-door version was discontinued, having been supplanted in the lineup by the all-new Mercedes-AMG SL.

The two-door AMG GT comes in a wide range of trims, which vary primarily based on their performance capabilities. The entry-level GT, which first appeared in 2017, features a 456-horsepower 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 engine. It sends power to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The mid-range GT S utilizes the same basic setup but with a boost in output to 503 hp, which further increased to 515 hp in 2018. In 2021 (the two-door’s final year), Mercedes essentially combined these two trims into a 523-hp version under the GT moniker. If that’s not quite enough oomph, several high-performance trims are also available, including the 550-hp GT C, the 577-hp GT R and GT R Pro, and 720-hp GT Black Series. These trims offer not only increases in power but also other performance-oriented upgrades, such as larger wheels, stronger brakes, and stiffer suspensions.

At its 2019 debut, the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe was offered in three trims. Most common is the mid-tier GT 53, which employs a 429-hp 3.0-liter turbo inline-six. In 2021, it was joined by a new entry-level trim, the GT 43, which gets a 362-hp version of the same inline-six. At the higher end of the range are GT 63 and GT 63 S. They share the two-door GT’s twin-turbo V8, which offers 577 hp in the GT 63 and 630 hp in the GT 63 S. All versions of the GT 4-Door Coupe come with a nine-speed automatic that delivers twist to all four wheels through the automaker’s 4Matic all-wheel-drive system.
