Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupé unveiled

By CARSIFU | 26 July 2018


STUTTGART: The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupé has finally been unveiled, offering more practicality than the 2-door version, which CarSifu first drove in Germany late last year.

As a further model series developed independently by Mercedes-AMG, the new AMG GT models combine a unique design, a high level of comfort and outstanding sports car technology with an athletic, four-door fastback layout.

With outputs of 585hp and 639hp, the AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ and AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ boast powerful engines for driving dynamics and performance.

Daimler pitches the 4-door Coupé as combining the driving dynamics suitable for the racetrack with the high day-to-day comfort of a Gran Turismo.

Standard equipment includes the fully variable all-wheel drive 4MATIC+, the fast-shifting AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission, active rear axle steering and the electronically controlled rear axle locking differential.

As in the two-door AMG GT, the active aeoerdynamics with the AIRPANEL air control system in the front apron and the extending rear spoiler provide the basis for the high aero-performance of the new 4-door Coupés.

A limited first edition plus two regular versions are offered: the Edition 1, GT 63 4MATIC+ and GT 63 S 4MATIC+.. The GT 63 and 63 S are priced at 150,118.50 euros and 167,016.50 euros, with the Edition 1 at over 18,000 euros more than the GT 63 S.

The interior of the AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ has ultra-modern features: innovative control panels such as the eight high-resolution display switches in the centre console can be intuitively operated.

The AMG Performance steering wheel with the new AMG steering wheel buttons, AMG sport seats in nappa leather and the fully digital Widescreen cockpit with an AMG-specific instrument cluster and the new "Supersport" display style emphasise the dynamic character. MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, the EASY-PACK tailgate, the Burmester surround sound system and ambience lighting in 64 colours enhance everyday comfort.

The blend of individualisation and sports car technology is clear from the variety of equipment packages and individual options. This is unique in the segment, and e.g. includes three different configurations for the rear bench seat. Two individual seats in the rear are standard equipment.

The high longitudinal and transverse dynamics come by virtue of systematic networking of all systems and components. The rigid structure of the bodyshell also contributes, as does the sophisticated control strategy of the fully variable all-wheel drive system. Working together with the active aerodynamics, the rear axle steering and the integrated dynamic control system AMG DYNAMICS, the sophisticated suspension configuration comes fully into its own.

In addition the AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ features active engine mounts, larger light-alloy wheels and the AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfibre.

Edition 1 based on AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+

To mark the launch of the new AMG GT 4-door Coupé, Mercedes-AMG will be offering the Edition 1 model for a limited period of 12 months.

By emphasising the sporty aspects of the exterior and reinforcing the high-quality finish of the interior, this model offers even more exclusivity and distinctive appeal.

The AMG Aerodynamics package with a larger front splitter and integral flics in the front apron, the further improved diffuser and the fixed rear spoiler is unrivalled in the competitive lineup. Together with the decals, it underlines the proximity to motorsport.

In conjunction with the 21-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels, the paintwork in designo graphite grey magno, diamond white bright or graphite grey metallic immediately draws the eye.

The interior is made even more sportily exclusive by AMG Performance seats in Exclusive nappa leather in magma grey/ black with yellow contrasting topstitching, The AMG Performance steering wheel in DINAMICA microfibre with yellow contrasting topstitching and the AMG matt carbon-fibre trim add further highlights in the interior.

The Edition 1 is reserved for the top model, the AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ 4-door Coupé with the 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine in its most powerful version.

The 4-door Coupe is available to order now and will arrive in European showrooms in late fall.
