The AMG GT high-peformance sports car (fuel consumption combined 12.5-11.4 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined 284-261 g/km) is now vying for customers’ attention with lots of sharper details and the new, limited Edition AMG GT R PRO. The two-door AMG GT Coupés and Roadsters are bestowed not only with updates on the exterior but also the integrated dynamic control system AMG DYNAMICS for even more agility, the new AMG Performance steering wheel, a centre console with innovative display buttons and a fully digital Instrument Display with AMG-specific display styles and content.

“The AMG GT embodies the core of our brand, “Driving Performance”, in a unique way. At its debut in September 2014, it not only turned the heads of customers and sports car enthusiasts, but also created new dimensions in the competitive environment. In order to continue this success story we have now equipped the two-door models with numerous innovations from the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé”, says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
The basic layout of the AMG GT portfolio with its front mid-engine concept and transmission in transaxle configuration at the rear axle enables an advantageous slightly rear-biased weight distribution. In conjunction with the vehicle’s low centre of gravity, this translates into extremely agile handling and permits high cornering speeds. The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivers ample power right from the low rev range and enables outstanding performance. At the same time, the two-seater is a straightforward, comfortable and reliable companion for everyday motoring thanks to its easily accessible luggage compartment, a high level of comfort on long journeys and the extensive Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive assistance systems.
Highlights of the Mercedes-AMG GT model series (two-door model)
Engine
4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine in four output ratings from 350 kW (476 hp) to 430 kW (585 hp) | peak torque from 630 Nm to 700 Nm.
Compact design, spontaneous response, tractive power right from the low rev range as a result of inside turbochargers (“hot inside V”).
Dry sump lubrication for low engine position and reliable oil supply even at extreme levels of lateral acceleration.
Assembled and mounted in the hand-finishing section in Affalterbach according to the “One Man – One Engine” principle.
Transmission
AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed dual-clutch transmission at the rear axle (transaxle configuration).
Data
Model series fuel consumption, combined 12.5-11.4 l/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined 284-261 g/km.
0-100 km/h in 3.6-4.0 seconds; Vmax 302-318 km/h.
Transaxle
Basic layout with front mid-engine, transmission at rear axle, connected via torsionally rigid torque tube in which a carbon-fibre drive shaft runs.
Lightweight construction
The entire body-in-white structure has an intelligent aluminium spaceframe design. The very light and extremely rigid body forms the basis for the best possible lateral and longitudinal dynamics as well as maximum steering precision.
The aluminium body and the use of carbon-fibre and compound components (AMG GT R and AMG GT R PRO) also help to reduce weight.
The roadster has a specially reinforced body-in-white structure: it comprises side skirts with thicker walls and more chambers, additional struts between dashboard support and windscreen surround, as well as an additional strut tower brace between the soft top and fuel tank. A cross-member behind the seats supports the fixed roll-over protection system.
The tailgate of the Coupé is made of steel, since at a corresponding ratio of wall thickness to component cross-section a lower weight is attainable with this material than would apply to a comparable tailgate made of aluminium.
The boot lid on the Roadster is produced in SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) with carbon fibre. Advantages: light weight, high strength and outstanding surface quality.
Soft top
The roadster’s triple-layer fabric soft top has a substructure featuring a magnesium/steel/aluminium design. With its light weight it helps to keep the centre of gravity low.
The soft top opens or closes in 11 seconds (when travelling at speeds of up to 50 km/h) with space-saving Z-folding and is available in black, beige or red.
Aerodynamics
AIRPANEL active air management system (vertical louvres behind the front apron open and close in around one second) and extendable rear aerofoil improve aerodynamic balance and aerodynamic performance.
AMG GT R additionally with active aerodynamics profile in the underfloor and a fixed rear aerofoil with manually adjustable blade.
Suspension
Double-wishbone design for excellent lateral dynamics and driving stability at high speeds. The long wheelbase ensures straight-line stability and low wheel load transfer, which markedly reduces the pitching tendency when accelerating and decelerating.
The wide track reduces wheel load transfer from the inner to the outer wheel on bends. This provides the tyres with added grip.
The large caster angle increases the negative camber in bends, thus enhancing tyre grip and stability when braking sharply.
Brakes
The AMG high-performance compound brake system offers excellent deceleration performance and precise brake control with large brake disks which are internally ventilated, grooved and perforated all round. The compound technology (AMG GT and AMG GT Roadster: integral brake disks on rear axle) improves resistance to fading even under extreme conditions and reduces unsprung masses on the wheel.
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs
“Slippery”, “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport+” and “Individual” provide drivers with a broad scope of driving dynamics. The programs influence various factors, including throttle response, shifting and suspension. The “RACE” program (not for AMG GT base model) offers maximum racetrack performance.
Exterior
The AMG-specific radiator grille is the centrepiece of the vehicle front. Striking features include the long bonnet with its pronounced powerdomes, the wide front apron, the LED High Performance headlamps, the greenhouse which has been moved far back, the large wheels and the broad tail end in a fastback design.
Interior
The cockpit is dominated by the wing profile of the instrument panel support and the AMG DRIVE UNIT in the centre console. The latter incorporates the key AMG-specific controls in a stylised V8 layout as innovative display switches. The AMG sports seats and the AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather feature as standard from the entry-level model up.

Concept
As with all vehicles belonging to the Mercedes-AMG GT family, the front mid-engine concept and the intelligent aluminium lightweight design provide the basis for superlative driving experiences.
Suspension
The AMG sports suspension and double wishbone concept provides the Mercedes-AMG GT with excellent lateral dynamics and driving stability at high speeds.
The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs enable handling to be adapted ideally to individual wishes.

The damping system operates continuously. This improves driving safety and ride comfort. The hydraulic damping is tuned individually for each wheel.
The RACE drive program adds an extra dose of Driving Performance.
The electronically controlled rear-axle differential lock provides for even more sensitive traction control.
Brakes
The AMG high-performance compound brake system is adapted to the enhanced performance of the AMG GT S.
