GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) 2026 AMG GT 4-Door Vision EV

Preferences. They’re far from being subtle but some people love the blingy stuff.

That’s a gaudy and kitsch interior. Good heavens, if you cast your mind back to the glory days of MB’s better interiors, then this interior couldn’t portray a more disconnected image from what MB used to stand for.

Totally agree.

Considering today's trends, I think it's a fantastic design. Unfortunately, screens will be with us for a while longer.

If I’d be in the market for a 4 door coupe, I’d still prefer the predecessor with designo/manufaktur interior and as a 63S without hybrid.

The drip feed introduction of this car is agonizing.

As well as simply...annoying.

M-B has been cultivating the anticlimactic into a sort of perverted artform. Masters of the buzzkill.

After tomorrow we’re getting the VLE.

This has the ambience of my local shisha bar, but that crowd wouldn't drive electric.

Where is it written?

What you get in place of the screen would also be important. I doubt it will be more leather, which I would love.

It’s lack of confidence in the brand and believe if that stuffing the cabin with screens will win Chinese buyers.

I can't shake my suspicion that the "Chinese Buyers" boat has sailed for M-B/AMG. Stuttgart and Affalterbach would be well advised to start very seriously concentrating on the EU/UK markets. And gear up Tuscaloosa and perhaps expand manufacturing presence in general in the U.S. And as daring as it may sound today, Ukraine could develope into a massive market in the longer term future. Rheinmetall AG is investing massively there.

Comparing the latest automotive design trends to those of yesteryear is a bit pointless. Today, automotive themes change like fashion clothing statements that mostly fit the needs of customer demands. Minimalism (and or understated elegance) seems to be taking a second seat to the gaudy themes that are trickling into the latest top-end vehicles, it seems. I don`t like the screens in this either. I think its too close to the GLC, CLA EVs with a few differences. The doorcards are rich-looking and brilliant, but for a car that has over 1200hp, it should have grab handles built into them. Your passengers will definitely need something to hold to with that kind of extreme force in multiple directions.
For full on EV, this car appears to have more decorated analog switchgear than anything else, priced south side of a Rolls Royce Spectre, which is spectacular IMO.

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Tbh, I think Rolls Royces and Bentleys are just as gaudy and tasteless. Just in a completely different way.

At least they have physical switchgear I suppose. But it's all designed to be an ostentatious display of wealth. There is no desire for subtlety.

US needs a regime change first.
