What's the story
Mercedes-AMG has taken the wraps off the 2024 GT Coupe for the global markets. It is essentially a versatile 2+2 grand tourer with a fully-variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system.
Available in "55" and "63" versions, both come equipped with a V8 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission.
However, the base AMG GT 55 Coupe is tuned to develop 469hp, while the range-topping AMG GT 63 Coupe delivers an impressive 577hp of maximum power.
Design
The coupe gets a Panamericana grille and designer wheels
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT retains the overall design of the outgoing model. It features a few subtle tweaks to its front and rear fascia to make it more appealing.
The coupe has a long and sculpted hood, sweptback LED "DIGITAL LIGHT" headlamps, a large Panamericana grille, a fastback-like sloping roofline, connected LED taillights with 3D effect, and blacked-out designer wheels.
It also gets an active rear spoiler.

Inside, its sporty cabin has a 2+2 seating configuration. It gets MANUFAKTUR Nappa leather upholstery, an AMG performance steering wheel with paddle shifters, multi-color ambient lighting, two-zone climate control, and bucket-type front seats.
The coupe packs an 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment panel with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
An optional ENERGIZING Package Plus adds ventilation and massage functions for the front passengers.
