The AMG GT is not as brash as its predecessor, the SLS AMG, in the way it drives and in its design
The Mercedes-AMG GT is a 2-door, 2-seater grand coupe that was presented in September last year and unveiled to the public at the Paris Motor Show the following month. This is the successor to the SLS AMG and, after the SLS, it is the second car to be developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Internationally, it is available in two variants – the AMG GT and the AMG GT S. Only the AMG GT S is on sale in India.
It is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 510 bhp
The AMG GT S is powered by a 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8 petrol engine producing 510 bhp at 6250 rpm and 650 Nm of torque between 1750 rpm and 4750 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed 7G-DCT automatic transmission and power is sent to the rear wheels. The supercar accelerates from a standstill to a 100 kmph in 3.8 seconds and goes on to an electronically limited top speed of 310 kmph. The car returns 10.52 kms to a litre of fuel. The supercar rides on 19-inch alloy wheels at the front and 20-inch wheels at the rear.
With this supercar, Mercedes aims to take on the Porsche 911
The AMG GT S has been priced at INR 2.39 crores (ex-showroom, New Delhi). In India, it competes against the Porsche 911, Audi R8, Jaguar F-type Coupe and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Globally, it also competes against the Honda NSX, McLaren 570S Coupe and the Nissan GTR.
