GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) [Official] Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé


The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé (X290) is the first generation five-door variant of the AMG GT two-door sports car. Production: September 2018– Model years: 2019–
When it comes to German EVs, the options are rather limited and when it comes to those that are fast and have a bespoke EV platform, it is even more limited. There is only one model from one brand, who offers such an option. It might be therefore not surprising that such a vehicle does well, because all potential customers have to order their vehicle from that brand.

In view of the relative unit registration "success" of the Taycan and eTron GT, it will be interesting to witness whether these cars will act as a precursor regarding the general acceptance of dedicated electric luxury vehicles in Germany. The Mercedes-Benz EQS will be presented in some 5 weeks time, the somewhat smaller (yet vastly more appealing to a far larger demographic) EQE in September of this year. Should M-Bs' BEV upper executive/luxury segment sedans be successful on the marketplace, we will be presented with evidence of a sustainable, highly significant paradigm shift. And BMW will be in the race with their own i7 and i5 sedan models in 2022/23.

BRABUS: "Hold my beer."

But seriously, there's a real chance of a 1000+hp BRABUS version.
 
Is this a "Black Series" or a "normal" super AMG? If so, is there still room for more, or the Black Series are no longer made?
 
Facelift due in June, GT73e ' s official appearance in September @ IAA Munich. Uncertain if the "73" moniker will carry on for the GT though.
 
Are we going to see the GT73 and S63 at the same time?

  • New front apron with large side air intakes in jet-wing design
  • Extensive standard equipment with electric sliding sunroof and wireless smartphone charging
  • V8 Styling Package with new design
Mercedes-AMG has upgraded the six-cylinder models of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé. They can be recognised by the new front apron, which picks up on the previous design of the eight-cylinder models. The two outer decorative air intakes and the large central air intake under the radiator grille form a jet-wing profile. This emphasises the effect of breadth, while the radiator openings direct the air flows specifically to the functional elements such as coolers and brakes.
The electric sliding sunroof and the option of wireless charging for smartphones between the rear seats are now on board as standard. The intelligent, digital infotainment system MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) has also been given an update with a new look, redesigned AMG-specific displays and individually configurable functions. In conjunction with the optional Burmester® surround sound system or the Burmester® high-end 3D surround sound system, Dolby Atmos also introduces a new sound experience.
The basis for the sporty driving experience is provided by the unchanged 270 kW (367 hp) or 320 kW (435 hp) 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine with twin turbocharging and integrated starter alternator.

With the V8 Styling Package, the six-cylinder models can be made even more individual. It includes a new front apron, longitudinal member panels and a rear apron with diffuser. The specifically designed front end of the V8 Styling Package picks up on elements of the AMG GT Black Series, such as the radiator grille that opens further downwards, the wide lower air intake and the precise, functional air deflection elements at the outer edge. This further emphasises the proximity to the AMG GT family and its racing roots.

There are additional features for the other optional equipment packages. In the base variant, the front splitter is now also in high-gloss chrome with the Chrome Package. The same offer logic applies to the Carbon Fibre Package: here, too, the front splitter in carbon fibre is added. With the Aerodynamic Package in conjunction with the V8 Styling Package, the front splitter and flics are given a new shape.

Customers can now choose the new shade opalite white metallic from the colour palette. The wheel portfolio and upholstery range remain unchanged.

Not sure whether the softer appearence of the lower bumper result in a more elegant or down-market appearence.
 
Why preempt the shine to a brand new GT door by releasing its grille on the facelift of a model that will be discontinued soon?
 
That looks awful… Why would they ruin such a beautiful front end
