This one does offer the practicality of a luxury coupe but just in case someone wants to be a true hooligan, the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe can be equally sensible. It’s fun to drive with lots of best in class features onboard. Probably, best enough to beat the Panamera that ultimately lead to the inception of this segment. For now, all credit goes to this German rivalry.
The brand is back with a new rather updated AMG GT Coupe with four doors and some minor yet crucial changes to provide an unmatched driving experience to its customer. Well, how does it translates into the real world? We are here to find out.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- All-new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe has made its global debut.
- Only the V6 variants of the updated Coupe will be available initially.
- It is the perfect rival to the Porsche Panamera for the Coupe segment.
New Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe
For 2021MY changes, the updated coupe gets a balanced suspension setup that ultimately bridges the gap between performance and luxury. Go for the “Sport+” mode and there the driving dynamic changes with a stiffened suspension setup. The “Comfort” mode is similarly configured to convert this storm into something calm and composed while allowing it to sail flawlessly even over bumps and ridges making it a perfect ride even for the Indian roads.
Every nook and cranny of the Mercedes AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is a result of tireless work from the engineers and the interior feels no different. Exclusive Nappa leather and diamond stitching with multiple shades bring a variety of customisation inside the cabin. Further, enhancing the overall ambience is the new steering wheel that features a sensor mat just to make sure that the driver does not remove their hand at any cost. In case, this does not happen, the updated car is smart enough to initiate multiple warnings ultimately leading to Emergency braking to ensure occupants safety.
No, the updated range does not consist of the V8 models, meaning they will be introduced at a later date. Only the V6 variants including the AMG GT 53 4Matic+ that comes powered by a 435HP, 3.0-litre six-cylinder and AMG GT 43 4Matic+ that gets a 367HP, 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine are available in the latest iteration.
A rear-wheel drive AMG GT 43 is also there and it comes powered by a similarly sized six-cylinder motor to propel 367HP. The powerful all-wheel drive variant can clock a three-digit speed in just 4.5 seconds.
