Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe gets three versions: GT 53, GT 63 and GT 63 S. The upgraded V8 in the 63 S churns out a massive 630 hp and 899 Nm
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe has finally landed in North America with a debut at the 2018 New York Motor Show before going on sale early next year. Unveiled back in Geneva for the first time, it is endorsed to be inspired by the legendary SLS and AMG GT models. The performance car has resemblance to the AMG GT in design department with the presence of sleek LED tail lamps, Panamericana grille assembly and a powerdome bonnet.
However, unlike the ‘4-Door’ name suggests, the GT Coupe gains a rear hatchback as in the popular Porsche Panamera. The latest generation E-Class has given the model a striking interior with a plush feel complemented by the quirky sporty bits of the AMG GT line like the centre console and AMG steering wheel.
