Mercedes-AMG GT (Second Generation)

2023 Mercedes-AMG GT (2nd Generation) Gray Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupé 4MATIC at Arkhangelskoye Estate (Moscow Region, Russia) The Mercedes-AMG GT is a series of 2-door sports cars produced by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-AMG. The first generation was introduced on 9 September 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. While not directly replacing the SLS AMG, it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. In October 2021, Mercedes-Benz announced the new Mercedes-AMG R232 SL-Class as the direct successor for the roadster version. The second-generation coupe version of the GT was redesigned on the same platform as the SL, but retains the name AMG GT. II Generation (C192) The second generation AMG GT was unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on 19 August 2023, eleven months after the previous generation was discontinued, and production began the following month. It is offered as a coupé, and uses the same platform as the new SL roadster (R232). It is longer than its predecessor, which allows for a 2+2 cabin setup. At launch, a 4.0 L V8 engine was offered in two variants, the 469 HP (350 kW) GT 55, and the 577 HP (430 kW) GT 63, both with four-wheel drive. In 2024, two powertrains were added: a plug-in hybrid version of the V8 for the GT 63 S E Performance with four-wheel drive, and a 2.0 L four-cylinder mild hybrid used in the rear-wheel-drive GT 43 and the China-exclusive GT 50. All powertrains are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. On 22 July 2024, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the GT 63 Pro. Meant to be a more track-focused version of the GT 63, the GT 63 Pro was largely the same, but came with upgrades like additional radiators, standard carbon-ceramic brakes, reduced lift, and more downforce, resulting in faster acceleration and better stability at high speeds. It also had more power than the standard GT63, with up to 612 HP (450 kW).
