2024 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe revealed as 2+2 grand tourer
What's the story
Mercedes-AMG has taken the wraps off the 2024 GT Coupe for the global markets. It is essentially a versatile 2+2 grand tourer with a fully-variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system. Available in "55" and "63" versions, both come equipped with a V8 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. However, the base AMG GT 55 Coupe is tuned to develop 469hp, while the range-topping AMG GT 63 Coupe delivers an impressive 577hp of maximum power.
Design
The coupe gets a Panamericana grille and designer wheels
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT retains the overall design of the outgoing model. It features a few subtle tweaks to its front and rear fascia to make it more appealing. The coupe has a long and sculpted hood, sweptback LED "DIGITAL LIGHT" headlamps, a large Panamericana grille, a fastback-like sloping roofline, connected LED taillights with 3D effect, and blacked-out designer wheels. It also gets an active rear spoiler.
Interiors
It flaunts Nappa leather upholstery and MBUX infotainment panel
Inside, its sporty cabin has a 2+2 seating configuration. It gets MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather upholstery, an AMG performance steering wheel with paddle shifters, multi-color ambient lighting, two-zone climate control, and bucket-type front seats. The coupe packs an 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment panel with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. An optional ENERGIZING Package Plus adds ventilation and massage functions for the front passengers.
Information
It is backed by a 4.0-liter V8 engine
Powering the 2024 AMG GT is a potent 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine that is mated to a 9-speed "AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G" transmission and a 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system. The coupe can sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.1 seconds and hits a top speed of 315km/h.
