the striking proportions of the mercedes-AMG ‘GT 4-door coupe’, which detail convex surfaces and a muscular body, start with the expressive, low bonnet that features two powerdomes atop. its dynamism continues on the side, where a flowing silhouette of classic coupe architecture is achieved with the lowered greenhouse. tailored upper contours and broad shoulders defines the car’s back. here, its athletic orientation is further emphasized by the pronounced rear wheel arches, slim LED tail lights and the aerofoil, which, whilst extending in several stages, is an important aspect of the active aerodynamics.

its aerodynamic and overall sporty form acts as the immediate indication of the car’s underlying high performance. the powerful 6-cylinder in-line and V8 engines offer outputs that range from 453 hp to 639 hp, along with a maximum torque of 900 Nm. this accelerates the four-door vehicle from 0 to 62.1 mph in 3.2 seconds and to a top speed of 195.7 mph. this extreme power is controlled with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G 9-speed transmission that not only reduces weight and inertia, but optimizes response time with extremely short shift times that, in total, delivers an emotive gear-shifting experience. the dynamics of the sports car, achieved also through the all-wheel drive system and suspension of steel springs and adjustable damping, completes the model.
