Mercedes-AMG GT: Further honed and even more agile.

Confidently sought out competition.

At its debut four years ago, the AMG GT confidently sought out competition on the world-wide sports car scene – and conquered a large part of the market. The top athlete from Affalterbach now comes to the starting line honed further. In addition to exterior updates, the two-door AMG GT Coupés and Roadsters will be fitted with the AMG DYNAMICS integrated driving dynamics control system for added agility, the new AMG Performance steering wheel, the centre console with innovative display buttons and a fully digital instrument display with exclusive AMG “Supersport” display style on the instrument cluster.

New limited-edition top-of-the-range model.

“The AMG GT embodies the core of our brand, ‘Driving Performance’, in a unique way. At its debut four years ago, it not only turned the heads of customers and sports car enthusiasts, but also created new dimensions in the competitive environment. In order to continue this success story, we have now equipped it with numerous innovations from the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé and added a new limited-edition top-of-the-range model: no other production model of Mercedes-AMG presently is as close to motor racing as the new AMG GT R PRO. A lot of experience from our current GT3 and GT4 motorsport activities entered into its development,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

Sporty, dynamic look.

The new light controls of the LED high performance headlights now show parallels to the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé and therefore further enhance the AMG GT family connection. A tri-functional, arched light guide takes on the functions of daytime running light, navigation light and turn signals. The multi-chamber reflector system with three single reflectors each for dipped beam and main beam not only ensures optimal illumination of the roadway, but also gives the AMG GT a sporty, dynamic look which gains even more optical depth as the result of the black background. The light of the LED tail lights also appears even deeper set and sportier through the dark background.

From the back the new look of the rear apron is striking, its sporty black diffuser insert was redesigned for the AMG GT, AMG GT S and AMG GT C. At the same time the tailpipe cover was visually redesigned and matched to the shape of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé. The AMG GT now has two round twin tailpipe covers, the AMG GT S and AMG GT C has trapeze shaped twin tailpipe covers. The rear design of the AMG GT R keeps its distinctive shape with the large, centrally positioned tailpipe cover with centre bar. It is flanked by two more black tailpipes on the left and right of the diffuser.

Emphasise the features.

The AMG GT and AMG GT S are getting a new black grained sill cover on the bottom section. This makes for an additional dynamic optical look. Used in combination with the optional exterior package, additional decorative element attachments emphasise the features. Also, if desired, the AMG GT and AMG GT S can come with a new light y-spoke alloy wheel in soft black with a finely polished surface. In addition, an option for the AMG GT, AMG GT S and AMG GT C is new 10-double-spoked forged wheels in titanium grey with finely polished surfaces or in soft black with finely polished rim flange. And one more sign of a family connection is also the 2-door AMG GT, now available in brilliant blue magno, which will be introduced with the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé.

AMG DYNAMICS optimises transverse dynamics.

As a new feature in the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes, the 2-door AMG GT now also comes with AMG DYNAMICS. This integrated driving dynamics regulation expands the functions of ESP® to exact dosing of power distribution at the rear axis and the characteristics of steering. In this way the AMG GT becomes even more agile at its highest stability. In the first place AMG DYNAMICS optimises the transverse dynamics by a higher lateral acceleration, better traction and load change reactions.

Fully digital instrument display as standard.

As in the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, the new telematics architecture in the two-door AMG GT models makes the innovative, standard fully digital instrument display with 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch multimedia display on the centre console possible. The eye-catching feature in the interior is the centre console with its stylised V8 design, not only putting the spotlight on the brand’s performance claim but also perfectly fulfilling functional requirements. The 2-door AMG GT is now also getting the innovative, coloured display buttons. They integrate the display and steering of transmission logistics, chassis, ESP®, exhaust system, rear spoilers and start-stop function.

The new generation of AMG steering wheels.

During model maintenance the 2-door AMG GT is getting the new AMG performance steering wheel. It is characterised by its sporty design, a flattened bottom section with a heavily contoured rim and intuitive operation. The galvanised gearshift paddles on the steering wheel allow an even sportier driving style with manual gear shift. The integrated Touch Control buttons can be used to control the functions of the digital dash and the multimedia display by means of horizontal and vertical swiping of the finger.

All 2-door AMG GT models have the standard new AMG steering wheel buttons. These consist of a round controller with an integrated display beneath the right-hand steering-wheel spoke, plus two vertically positioned colour display buttons with switches beneath the left-hand steering-wheel spoke. The AMG drive programmes can be triggered via the controller. The selected setting is shown on the colour LCD display directly integrated in the controller.
