Take a look at the new Mercedes-AMG GT S

The new Mercedes‑AMG GT S embodies the sensual purity of sportiness and emotion. The two-seater is characterized by hallmark rear-wheel-drive proportions. The V8 bi-turbo front mid-engine ensures optimum weight distribution, which forms the basis for superb driving dynamics. The long bonnet with its distinct power domes, the greenhouse which has been moved far back, the large wheels and broad tail end make up the distinctive looks. The large tailgate conceals a practical luggage compartment.

The creative interaction of diverse design elements lends the coupĂ© a superior, self-confident front: the three-dimensional diamond radiator grille with central Mercedes star, a broad louver and AMG lettering stands in the center of the front end. LED High Performance headlamps with stylized "eyebrows" as daytime running lamps, side lights and indicators, as well as three separate high-beam reflectors lend the Mercedes‑AMG GT S its characteristic look.


Special features of the exterior design:

  •          air intake grille in the front apron in high-gloss black
  •          brake calipers painted in red




Positively arched surfaces give the Mercedes‑AMG GT S its sensuous character and the appearance of a sculpture. Viewed from the side, the dome-shaped, arched roof line and the frameless doors are eye-catching features. A muscular element sculpted out of the side wall creates a sense of lightness and dynamism, even when the vehicle is at a standstill. The surfaces and lines of the side wall flow into the rear -end with a dramatic tapered effect. The Mercedes‑AMG GT S deliberately avoids lines in the shoulder region. The only line is one lower down, picked up again in the rear bumper, which stretches the body and makes it appear lighter. The side air outlets, each with two fins, represent a typical, styling feature of Mercedes-Benz sports cars. The Mercedes‑AMG GT S has no visible aerials which could disrupt the overall appearance.


The creative interaction of diverse design elements lends the coupé a superior, self-confident front: the three-dimensional diamond radiator grille with central Mercedes star, a broad louvre and AMG lettering stands in the center of the front end.

As standard, the Mercedes‑AMG GT S is shod in 10-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted titanium gray - the dimensions are 9 x 19 inch (front) with 265/35 R 19 tires and 11 x 20 inch (rear) with 295/30 R 20 tires. A host of different design and color variants are available as options, such as the ultralight forged wheels in cross-spoke design, painted black matt, with high-sheen rim flange and fully integrated wheel bolt covers.


The Mercedes‑AMG GT S is equipped as standard with an AMG performance exhaust system with fully variable exhaust flaps. This allows the driver to vary the engine sound: depending on the selected DYNAMIC SELECT mode the driver may experience the V8 with a focus on comfort and relaxed, long-distance journeys or with a more powerful, emotive, motorsport-inspired touch. The AMG DRIVE UNIT includes a separate button to control the exhaust flaps directly. The new Mercedes‑AMG sports car has its own tonal characteristics which denote the car's membership of the AMG family but that also distinguish it clearly from other high-performance cars.
