2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for 2020 is a substantial mid-cycle update for the two-seat AMG GT range, bringing refreshed styling, new digital displays, and revised performance controls. The track-focused GT R PRO and a GT R Roadster also join the lineup.
About the 2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Mixed AMG GT family: first-generation R190 two-seat GT in its mid-cycle refresh year; first-generation X290 four-door GT in its second U.S. model year.
Mercedes-AMG positions the GT family as its dedicated performance range. The two-seat coupe and roadster pair a front-mounted V8, rear-mounted transmission, and motorsport-derived chassis with a dramatic long-hood shape. The four-door models translate that identity into a fastback with four real seats, a large rear hatch, AWD, and more everyday comfort. Across both branches, the core appeal is high performance without giving up Mercedes-level cabin technology and materials.
Mercedes-AMG positions the 2020 two-seat range from the road-focused 469-hp Coupe and Roadster through the 577-hp GT R and limited-production GT R PRO. The GT R PRO adds carbon-ceramic brakes and suspension with separate compression and rebound adjustment, while the four-door branch stretches from the 429-hp AWD GT 53 to the 630-hp V8 GT 63 S.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The four-door GT 63 gains a standard AMG performance exhaust. Engines and transmissions otherwise carry over, including the GT R’s 577-hp V8 in the new GT R PRO.
Styling
Every two-seat AMG GT receives revised headlights, taillights, rear-end details, and exterior trim. The GT R’s rear spoiler also becomes standard.
Safety
Lane-departure warning becomes standard on the Coupe, Roadster, and GT R. The Roadster also gains standard blind-spot sensors.
Tech
Every two-seat model gains a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch central display, AMG DYNAMICS handling control, and new console and steering-wheel controls. Push-button start becomes standard on the Coupe, Roadster, and GT R.
Structural
The limited-production GT R PRO joins with more adjustable suspension, rigid rear suspension joints, carbon-ceramic brakes, a carbon-fiber roof, and added aerodynamic hardware. A Roadster body style also joins the GT R range.

2020 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
(70 reviews)
“This car is a failure. Had a malfunction while driving in a busy intersection. Dangerous vehicle no solution on issue. Now hit the lemon law. 60 days later still waiting for money from Mercedes Benz which they agreed upon”
“I had the same vehicle brand new three years ago and was involved in a T-bone accident at 80 miles an hour. I walked away from the vehicle unhurt. The car is the best I've ever owned.”
