The GT is a two-seater with a surprisingly large 350-litre luggage compartment; the GT has an aluminium structure and a four-litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine which drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed twin-clutch semi-automatic gearbox. The gearbox is mounted at the rear of the car, and the overall weight distribution is 47% front and 53% rear.
In addition to the extra power, the GT S has larger front brakes than the non-S, along with wider tyres, three-stage suspension damping, an electronically controlled rather than simply mechanical limited slip differential and engine and suspension mounts that vary in firmness according to how the car is being driven.
"With the new Mercedes-AMG GT, we are venturing out into a challenging sports car segment with its top-class competitive field. This is an incentive and motivation for us at the same time to prove to sports car enthusiasts around the world the kind of performance that AMG is capable of," said Prof Dr Thomas Weber, Daimler management board member responsible for group research & Mercedes-Benz Cars development.
Pricing will be announced in October.
