The Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupé emerges as an exemplary embodiment of the AMG spirit, blending peerless performance with unmatched elegance. Anchoring its prowess is the AMG 2.0-litre turbo engine, a powerhouse generating 310 kW (421 hp) and a robust 500 Nm of torque. This engine is a feat of engineering and a bridge to the future, incorporating electric exhaust gas turbocharger technology directly inspired by the high-octane world of Formula 1. The result is a driving experience that is spontaneous, dynamic, and unapologetically exhilarating across the entire speed range.
Driving dynamics are further refined by the vehicle’s meticulously engineered rear-wheel drive and optimal weight distribution. These features coalesce to bestow the GT 43 with agility and responsiveness that are simply unparalleled. This transmission system facilitates rapid shifts and quick multiple downshifts, ensuring that the GT 43 responds with immediacy and fluidity to every driver input. This level of responsiveness is a hallmark of the AMG brand, emphasizing the vehicle’s race-inspired heritage.
Active aerodynamics play a pivotal role in the GT 43’s design ethos, with features like the AIRPANEL system and an extendable rear spoiler adapting in real-time to driving conditions. This improves the vehicle’s aerodynamic efficiency, stability and performance at high speeds. Such innovations underscore Mercedes-AMG’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.
At the core of the GT 43’s suspension system lies the AMG steel spring suspension, augmented by lightweight aluminium suspension components. This setup reduces the vehicle’s overall weight while significantly enhancing its handling and driving dynamics. The use of lightweight coil springs and torsion bar stabilizers further refines the driving experience, providing an optimal balance between comfort and performance.
The interior of the AMG GT 43 is a realm of “hyper-analogue” sophistication, where digital and analog elements converge in a harmonious symphony. The cockpit features a fully digital instrument cluster, encapsulated within a three-dimensional visor, offering a personalized driving experience through individually selectable views. Central to the interior’s allure is the 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen, part of the intuitive MBUX infotainment system.
Seating in the GT 43 is nothing short of luxurious, with standard AMG sports seats in Nappa leather offering both comfort and support. For those seeking an even more dynamic seating option, performance seats with increased lateral support are available. These seating options, along with the extensive customization opportunities available through the MANUFAKTUR program, allow owners to tailor the GT 43 to their personal tastes and preferences.
“Our AMG GT family is at the top of our portfolio and embodies the spirit of our brand: Driving Performance. We are therefore delighted that this family is now growing to include the GT 43. It is clearly recognisable as a GT but is clearly different from the other models. It appeals to customers who love design and focus on elegance but are unwilling to compromise on driving pleasure and driving dynamics. The rear-wheel drive concept makes the GT 43 a very agile vehicle that will put a smile on your face on winding roads.” Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and Head of Business Units Mercedes-Benz G-Class & Mercedes-Maybach
Performance metrics solidify the GT 43’s stature as a vehicle of extraordinary capabilities. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h is achieved in a mere 4.6 seconds, with the coupé reaching a top speed of 280 km/h. Such figures reflect the vehicle’s raw power and its refined engineering, allowing for a driving experience that is as exhilarating as it is efficient.
Fuel consumption and emissions figures further highlight the GT 43’s balance of performance and responsibility. With a combined fuel consumption of 10.3 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 235 g/km, the GT 43 demonstrates Mercedes-AMG’s commitment to environmental stewardship without compromising on power or driving pleasure.
