Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
1st generation (X290), V8 mid-cycle refresh year
The AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is Mercedes-AMG’s high-performance fastback for drivers who want sports-car speed and handling without giving up rear doors, usable rear seating, or a large liftback cargo opening. Mercedes emphasizes the combination of AMG-developed performance and everyday usability. Standard AWD, adaptive suspension, a luxury-focused dual-screen cabin, and power ranging from mild-hybrid inline-six engines to handcrafted V8s distinguish it from conventional luxury sedans.
The 2023 range runs from the everyday-focused GT 43 and stronger GT 53 to the V8-powered GT 63 and GT 63 S. Every version combines a four-door liftback body with AWD and dual 12.3-inch displays, while the V8 models add rear-wheel steering and more advanced handling hardware. The 630-hp GT 63 S stands at the top with active engine mounts plus Race and Drift driving modes.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The 577-hp GT 63 and 630-hp GT 63 S returned to the US lineup after a one-year absence. The GT 43 and GT 53 kept their mild-hybrid turbocharged six-cylinder powertrains without significant changes.
Styling
The returning GT 63 and GT 63 S received a smoother-looking front-end design. The six-cylinder GT 43 and GT 53 had no significant styling changes.
Structural
The GT 63 and GT 63 S gained revised adaptive air-suspension dampers that control compression and rebound separately for more precise ride and body control.

“Both the Power & Frame are very unique & looks awesome. It has curves without being uncomfortable. Beautiful car!!”
“It looks like a sedan, but it's a supercar. You have to be aware that the compromises are more towards performance and handling than comfort. It's still very comfortable, but it leans more toward performance.”
