AFFALTERBACH: The new Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé catapults performance and driving pleasure to a new level.
The four-door sports car is based on the high-performance AMG.EA architecture and consequently underlines Affalterbach's pioneering spirit with numerous world firsts.
Central to this is a newly developed drive concept, strictly designed for high performance, which is being used for the first time in a series-production EV (electric vehicle).
It utilises a new electric motor technology, so-called axial flux motors, combined with a high-performance battery.
Its Formula 1-based 800-volt battery with directly cooled cylindrical cells ensures fast, repeatable, and sustained power delivery.
There are two 4‑Door Coupé powertrains - the GT 63 and GT 55.
The sports car utilises three electric motors, two on the rear axle, one at the front, with system output of up to 860kW (1,169hp) on the GT 63.
On the GT 55, system output is up to 600kW (816hp).
With a charging capacity of 600kW, over 460km of range (WLTP) can be recharged in just 10 minutes.
From 10 to 80% state of charge (SoC), only 11 minutes are required.
In AMGFORCE S+ mode, the Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé delivers an AMG signature V8 sound spectacle, coupled with a haptic-immersive experience including traction interruption during simulated gear changes.
With the AMG Race Engineer, ambitious drivers can tailor the dynamics of the Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé even more individually to their driving style.
Thanks to intelligently linked hardware and software, response, traction, and cornering behaviour can be precisely controlled.
The 4‑Door Coupé features several new developments: Two active Aerokinetics venturi flow and the active Aerokinetics rear diffuser.
This active Aerokinetics system maximises downforce and driving stability for even greater agility.
Meanwhile, AMG Active Ride Control suspension with semi-active roll stabilisation enables highly dynamic sports car handling and long-distance comfort.
The chassis of the new AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is based on a multi-link axle design at both the front and rear.
This layout allows for high lateral acceleration with minimal influence from drive forces.
Depending on the speed, the rear wheels steer either in the same direction as the front wheels or in the opposite direction. This enables both agile and stable handling.
Up to a speed of 80kph, the rear wheels steer opposite to the front wheels. This corresponds to a virtual shortening of the wheelbase.
The advantage is that the new Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé turns into corners significantly more agilely, requires less steering effort, and thus increases driving enjoyment.
Additional benefits include improved manoeuvrability and a reduced turning circle in everyday situations, such as turning or parking.
There is also high traction and driving stability with fully variable AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive.
In the cockpit, razor-sharp driver displays – consisting of the 10.2-inch instrument cluster and the 14.0-inch multimedia monitor – merge into a single unit in “seamless-glass” design.
The flattened-bottom, perfectly contoured AMG Performance steering wheel features rollers and paddles.
Also, the one-piece panorama glass roof contributes to the airy sense of space.
