The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe was one of the hottest premieres in Geneva. Since its debut, we actually haven’t heard that much about it, until now that is, with the introduction of the Edition 1. Powering it is the ubiquitous twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, in its most powerful form. It churns out 639PS (630hp / 470kW) and 900Nm (664lb-ft) of torque, channeled to the 4Matic AWD system through a nine-speed automatic gearbox. Mercedes-AMG claims a 0-100km/h (0-62mph) sprint of just 3.2 seconds (0-60mph/96km/h in 3.1sec), and a top speed of 315km/h (196mph). If we were to compare it with, say, the Ferrari 488 GTB, then it’s 0.1sec slower to 100km/h (62mph), and just 15km/h (9mph) shy of its top speed. The new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S Edition 1 is not just about performance, because it welcomes a bunch of other upgrades, too. These include the Designo Graphite Grey Magno exterior finish, Graphite Grey sports stripes on the hood, roof, decklid and side sill panels, 21-inch ...

Mercedes-AMG has finally revealed the new GT 4-Door Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, marketed as the AMG GT’s four door sibling. The new member of the Mercedes-AMG family will be offered in three versions, at least initially, including the GT 53 4MATIC+, the GT 63 4MATIC+ and the range-topping GT 63 S 4MATIC+. The most powerful version of AMG’s four-door coupe will use the biturbo 4.0-liter V8 engine, producing in that case 630hp (639PS) and 663lb-ft (900Nm) of peak torque. With the kind help of the trick all-wheel drive system, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S is capable of pulling a 0-62mph (100km/h) in 3.2 seconds, while flat out it’ll do 195mph (315km/h). Opt for the “plain” 63 model and you’ll get 576hp (585PS) and 590lb-ft (800Nm) of peak torque. 0-62mph (100km/h) is 0.2 seconds slower, at 3.4 seconds, while top speed is now just 192mph (310km/h). Both V8 models are equipped with AMG Cylinder Management that deactivates a bank of cylinders in the partial-load range ...
