Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé
Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé: a quick, easy guide
The Mercedes‑AMG GT 4‑Door Coupé is an executive five‑door model launched in 2018. It’s the four‑door version of the AMG GT sports car, built in Germany (and in Finland for some production). It shares its chassis with AMG‑style components and sits on a similar platform to the Mercedes‑Benz E‑Class and CLS, but with a unique AMG rear frame and front axle setup for sharper handling. It’s available with rear‑wheel drive or 4MATIC+ all‑wheel drive.
Engines and trims (simplified)
- GT 43 and GT 50: both use a 3.0‑liter inline‑six with EQ Boost (a mild hybrid that adds a little power). The engine makes 362 hp (GT 43/GT 50) with a starting boost from the electric system. They pair with a 9‑speed automatic transmission. Specs include about 4.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and a top speed around 270 km/h.
- GT 53: also uses the 3.0‑liter inline‑six with EQ Boost, but tuned higher to about 429 hp. It reaches 0–100 km/h in about 4.5 seconds and tops out near 285 km/h. An Aero Package is available for improved cooling and styling.
- GT 63: moves up to a 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 producing around 577 hp and 800 Nm of torque. It does 0–100 km/h in about 3.4 seconds, with a top speed around 311 km/h. It comes with an electronic limited‑slip rear differential, rear‑wheel steering, and an AMG‑specific wet‑clutch automatic (MCT) or modern 9‑speed setup. Drift Mode is available for rear‑drive focus.
- GT 63 S: more power than the GT 63, about 630 hp and 900 Nm. It can hit 0–100 km/h in roughly 3.2 seconds and reach about 315 km/h. It includes the same advanced suspension and driving systems as the GT 63, with Drift Mode standard.
- GT 63 S E‑Performance: the top version, combining the 4.0‑liter V8 with a rear‑mounted electric motor. Combined output is about 843 hp and 1,400 Nm of torque. It does 0–100 km/h in under three seconds, and adds a small all‑electric range (about 12 km) at up to 130 km/h, thanks to a 6.1 kWh battery. Base engine alone produces 470 kW (639 hp) and 900 Nm, while the electric motor provides bursts of power for extra acceleration.
Design and technology
- The GT 4‑Door Coupé uses active aerodynamic elements, including an electronically adjustable rear spoiler and front grille louvers to manage airflow, especially when the Aero Package is chosen.
- The car emphasizes a sporty, rear‑biased setup with strong chassis stiffness from the rear anti‑roll bar and rear steering to improve agility.
- The drivetrain options give a wide range from efficient, smoother daily driving (GT 43/53) to extreme performance with rear‑biased power delivery (GT 63/63 S and the E‑Performance model).
Dimensions and weight
- It has a wheelbase of about 2,951 mm, a length around 5,054 mm, a width of about 1,953 mm, and a height roughly 1,442–1,455 mm. Curb weight ranges from roughly 1,970 kg to 2,380 kg depending on the version and drivetrain.
In short, the GT 4‑Door Coupé blends Mercedes‑style luxury with AMG power, offering a range from efficient six‑cylinder hybrids to a line of fierce V8 models, all with the option of all‑wheel drive and advanced driving aids for a lively, high‑performance ride.
