It was controlled via voice commands, a touch-pad, or via the 10.3” touch-screen. An additional screen was placed on top of the center stack, for the infotainment system.

The instrument cluster was completely digital, with a 12.3” TFT color-display. The interior featured a carbon-fiber trim on the center console and the dashboard. The back of the car was slightly improved, but the four exhaust pipes were left visible, poking out through the rear apron. The latter was split in two by a horizontal slat. The front bumper was divided into three main areas: the lower grille and the side-intakes. The full-LED headlights became a standard feature and a new grille design was installed. The 2020 model featured some exterior changes to enhance the look and the car's aerodynamic. In 2017 came the first facelift and, three years later, a new refresh for the lineup was introduced. The supercar was offered with the most powerful naturally aspirated engine on the market, at the time of its launch. It was a car like no other in the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer lineup. In 2014, AMG launched its first product that was named AMG instead of Mercedes-Benz AMG. The GT was one of its most important models. Since the separation of the AMG from the regular Mercedes-Benz models, the Affalterbach motorsport division started to offer faster cars for its customers. Power went into all corners via a 9-speed (dual-clutch) gearbox fitted with a wet starting clutch to protect the drivetrain.įull description and technical specifications Mercedes-AMG was famous for its "One Man, One Engine" policy. Like in any other AMG vehicle, these engines were hand built and signed by a single engineer. Both versions shared the same 4.0-liter V8 power plant, helped by a pair of turbochargers placed between the cylinder banks (hot-V). It was the first time in the model's history that it was available exclusively with an all-wheel-drive system. The automaker offered the GT Coupe in two versions: the GT 55 4Matic+ and the GT 63 4Matic+.

In addition, an 11.9" touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment unit provided all the necessary features and controls for the sat-nav, telephone, and sound system.īut, just like any other performance car produced by Mercedes-AMG, the most significant part was hidden under the vehicle's skin. Inside the instrument cluster, Mercedes-AMG placed a 3D display for main information about driving conditions. The car manufacturer focused more on the driver's seat and installed a thick, three-spoke steering wheel filled with touch buttons and additional controls. Still, these were flat-folding, thus expanding the trunk space. While the front sports seats provided enough comfort for long journeys, the rear ones were suitable just for persons up to 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) tall. Inside, Mercedes-AMG installed a 2+2 cabin layout suitable for four occupants. Under the bumper, the GT Coupe featured a wide diffuser that incorporated four squared exhausts. The rear fascia was adorned by a set of elliptic-shaped taillights connected by a light strip. The car sported a wing at the back that added downforce to the vehicle at higher speeds. It was extended to the rear by a sloped windscreen mounted on the tailgate. Since Mercedes-AMG built the GT Coupe as a grand tourer, it carefully crafted the greenhouse with a raked windshield followed by an arched roofline with an option for a panoramic glass roof. The hood boasted two power domes that reflected the V-shaped engine underneath it. On the flared front fenders, behind the wheels, the car manufacturer installed extracting vents. In addition, they created an air curtain that lowered the drag resistance. It was flanked by functional side scoops that channeled the air from the front of the vehicle to the front discs to cool them. At the front, the car featured the Panamericana grille specific for vehicles built in Affalterbach. The 2024 GT Coupe shared its underpinnings with the 2024 Mercedes-Benz SL, but everything else was different. But after nine years and around 18,900 units sold, the model needed a much-deserved retirement paving the way for the new generation, the C192. The automaker introduced this nameplate in 2014 and kept it alive until 2023. In the summer of 2023, Mercedes-AMG launched the second generation of one of the most famous products, the GT Coupe.
