2024 Mercedes-AMG GT: Roars To Life, Again!
Exterior
The 2024 AMG GT is undoubtedly a treat to your eyes, and to add to that already intimidating design, Mercedes-Benz has updated it from all four ends.
Starting with the front profile, it now features an AMG radiator grille flanked by distinctive headlights. The coupe-like design from the last-gen model has been carried over, but the tailgate has been updated to make it modern.
Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe also received a major makeover at the back with the introduction of a deployable spoiler.
Interior
The cabin of the new AMG GT is functional with all the new modern features. With a driver-focused dashboard, the sportscar gets a fully digital instrument cluster just behind the flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel. Coming to the centre console, it now features a massive 11.9-inch MBUX multimedia touchscreen with AC controls integrated on the same.
The new Mercedes-AMG GT features a 2+2 layout, which makes it a little practical. The sports seats with integrated headrests further add to the overall sporty appeal.
Engine & Performance
‘One Man, One Engine’ is the concept Mercedes-AMG has come up with, making every GT an exclusive run. Available in two different tunes, the 4.0-litre bi-turbocharged V8 engine can churn up to 585 horsepower and 800Nm ranging between 2500 to 4500 rpm. Mercedes says that the new AMG GT comes with a top speed of 315 kmph, and thankfully, it is capable of clocking triple-digit speed in just 3.2 seconds.
The setup uses an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system as standard. As per the spec sheet, it also uses a multi-link front and rear axle for high-speed corner stability.
Now that we covered everything about the updated sportscar, we expect the next question to be: “Is the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT India-bound?” Well, we know that the last series was available in India; therefore, one can expect the updated one to arrive here soon.
