Mercedes AMG GT R Updates

Monday, 03 June 2024 01:11 AM The new Mercedes-AMG GT has a larger wheelbase and includes fold-down rear seats, making it more usable as a daily driver. The car also features a multi-clutch transmission that can skip gears more effectively than the previous DCT. However, the weight increase of around 300 kg is a notable concern. I believe the added practicality will appeal to many buyers despite the weight gain.

Monday, 18 March 2024 10:05 PM Pricing for the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT has been announced, with the GT55 starting at $136,050 and the GT63 at $177,050. This represents a significant price hike compared to the previous generation, but the new models offer more features and improved performance. In India, this would translate to a hefty price tag, likely over Rs. 1.5 crore. I think the price increase is justified given the enhancements.

Monday, 18 March 2024 06:43 PM The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT features an optional carbon-fiber package that includes lightweight components such as the front splitter, side sills, and rear diffuser. Additionally, an AMG Aerodynamics package is available, which adds aerodynamic pieces and a fixed rear wing. I believe these options will appeal to enthusiasts looking for every edge in performance.

Saturday, 19 August 2023 01:12 AM The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT, which includes the GT R in its lineup, has been revealed with significant updates, including the addition of all-wheel drive and rear seats. This new model is designed to be more practical without compromising on performance. The GT63 variant, similar to the GT R, will produce 577 horsepower from its twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 engine. I think this balance between practicality and performance is a smart move by AMG.

Friday, 18 August 2023 01:48 PM Mercedes-AMG has announced that the new GT will feature a nine-speed automatic transmission with a clutch pack instead of a torque converter, and it will be situated directly behind the engine, unlike the previous rear-mounted dual-clutch transaxle. This change affects the weight distribution, with the new car being heavier but offering better interior space. I believe this transmission change will enhance the driving experience.

Friday, 18 August 2023 11:55 PM Mercedes-AMG has confirmed that the new GT will have a variable all-wheel-drive system that can route up to 50% of the engine’s torque to the front wheels or 100% to the rear axle. This system, combined with the twin-turbo V-8 engine, should provide excellent traction and performance. I think this AWD system will be a game-changer for the GT series.

Saturday, 19 August 2023 12:34 AM The interior of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT has been significantly upgraded with a more luxurious and spacious cabin, featuring an 11.9-inch center touchscreen and improved visibility thanks to small rear windows. The car also offers enveloping sport seats with an available massage function. I think the new interior will make the GT a more comfortable and tech-savvy option.

Friday, 18 August 2023 08:21 AM The new Mercedes-AMG GT is expected to compete directly with the Porsche 911 Turbo, given its enhanced practicality and performance features. The cars ability to hit 60 mph in around three seconds and its top speed of 196 mph make it a strong contender in the supercar market. I believe this competition will drive innovation in both brands.

Friday, 18 August 2023 08:05 PM Mercedes-AMG has mentioned that a more-powerful plug-in hybrid model of the GT will be introduced in the future, indicated by sightings of development mules with charging ports. This move aligns with the industrys shift towards hybrid and electric vehicles. I think this future model will be an exciting addition to the GT lineup.

Thursday, 10 August 2023 11:22 AM The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT will come in two trim levels: the GT55 and the GT63. The GT63, akin to the GT R, boasts 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. The car also features rear-wheel steering, an electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential, and a semi-active hydraulically linked suspension. I think these features will make the GT63 a formidable competitor in its class.
