The Mercedes-AMG GT S is a truly fantastic car.
It looks great, the interior is gorgeous, and if you drive it hard, it'll leave you
grinning like an idiot for days.
Leave the race track behind, and the GT S will also devour long stretches of highway
like nobody's business.
If you need a back seat, though, you're out of luck.
The GT S is a true two-seater.
At least you used to be out of luck.
If Mercedes-AMG is to be believed, the new GT 4-Door Coupe is a legitimate four-door
sports car.
Design-wise, the GT 4-Door Coupe looks more like the new CLS than the coupe it shares
a name with, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The redesigned CLS is a good looking car, and AMG's designers did a great job of making
sure the four-door GT looks like a proper AMG.
Even with unique headlights, a stretched cabin, and a proportionally shorter hood, no one
is going to mistake this sedan for a run-of-the-mill Mercedes.
Even better, the four-door GT retains the original GT's rear hatch for an added dose
of practicality.
Inside, it's a comparative story.
The four-entryway GT's lodge acquires loads of styling from other current Mercedes sedans,
yet it gets a couple of exceptional outline signs.
The wide focus comfort, for instance, resembles a refreshed form of the one found in the first
GT car.
Contingent upon which bundle purchasers pick, the four-entryway GT's inside can either resemble
an extravagance sedan with its sewed calfskin and wood trim, or it can twofold down on the
sportiness with carbon fiber trim, yellow safety belts, differentiate sewing, and sports
seats.
European purchasers will have the alternative of a four-passenger or five-passenger variant,
yet in the U.S., just the four-situate setup will be accessible.
For most purchasers, the four-entryway GT's execution will probably be the most imperative
factor, and at any rate on paper, AMG certainly conveys.
All forms get torque-vectoring all-wheel drive and a nine-speed AMG automatic transmission,
and there are three distinct levels of energy.
The base form, the GT 53, gets a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six useful for 429 hp and
384 lb-foot of torque.
Like the CLS 53, the GT 53 utilizes a mellow half and half framework that contributes 21
hp and 184 lb-foot of torque, enabling it to hit 60 mph in an expected 4.4 seconds.
Advance up to the mid-level GT 63, and the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 makes 577 hp and
553 lb-foot of torque, useful for a 3.3-second raced to 60 mph, as per AMG.
The GT 63 S finish the lineup with 630 hp and 627 lb-foot of torque from a similar V-8.
It's likewise the fastest of the three, requiring just 3.1 seconds to hit 60 mph.
Continue onward, and the GT 63 S has a best speed of 195 mph, 21 mph quicker than the
GT 53's maximum of 174 mph.
To ensure the four-entryway GT could stand its ground on a race track, AMG says it engineered
an extraordinarily hardened suspension, notwithstanding utilizing a back hostile to move banish from
the GT R. The six-cylinder adaptation utilizes steel springs and versatile dampers, and the
V-8s get AMG's multi-chamber air suspension for significantly sportier dealing with.
The all-wheel-drive framework is raise one-sided, and on the GT 63 S, it even incorporates a
standard float mode that totally separates the front wheels.
Float mode is likewise accessible as a choice on the customary GT 63.
Both 63s come standard with a constrained slip differential and back wheel guiding,
also.
For far and away superior taking care of, AMG gave the GT a dynamic air bundle.
In advance, engineers obtained the GT R's electronically controlled louvers to oversee
wind stream, while a multi-arrange raise spoiler alters itself relying upon how the car is
being driven.
In a straight line, the spoiler brings down to limit wind protection, yet in a corner,
it raises to increment downforce and enhance taking care of.
No data on evaluating is accessible right now, yet anticipate that Mercedes will report
that nearer to the GT's marked down date.
For the GT 63 and 63 S, that is planned to be right on time one year from now, with the
GT 53 not going marked down until mid-2019.
