GT [Official] Mercedes-AMG GT

[Wolfgang]

To calrify, I was thinking of the EU market when asking about base AMG GT:s. I very, very seldom see one of them for sale - almost all of the cars up for sale are GT-s models.

I honestly don't see the point of the base GT. It is outgunned by all the competition.

Some folks might not worry so much about the competition and may prefer to spend less?

The base GT is nearly as quick as the GT S despite having nearly 50hp less, AMS/AS test figures for GT compared to GT S and it costs quite a bit less. Its faster than the Porsche 911 Carrera S, Jaguar F-Type R (550PS) and nearly as fast as the 650HP Corvette Z06.

0-100km/h - 3.7sec (GT S 3.6sec)
0-160km/h - 7.8sec (GT S 7.5sec)
0-200km/h - 12.2sec (GT S 11.6sec)
Top speed - 304km/h (GT S 310km/h)

^ Interesting! Might be the GT4?


Moers named the AMG GT4 racecar as one. It will sit below the GT3 customer racer and split the difference between the new GT R and the GT3. A race-ready AMG GT3 costs about $420,000, so expect the GT4 to be a little less expensive to purchase and run, a lot less extreme, and a bit more approachable for the gentleman racer.

When are we going to start getting info on the black series?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ Could be as early as next year as Autobild Sportscars speculates it might debut in 2018?



As for the much-mooted Black Series variant, Moers acknowledged there is little point “in doing a GT R with a bit more power and even bigger wings”. Instead, he is looking for “a complete departure” for the sub-brand.

“The next Black Series car should be a new interpretation in terms of power output and lightweight design,” he said. “We need to break the rules and do something nobody expects. It has to be a bigger step — a much bigger step.” Ideas are being gathered now and the decision to proceed with the car will be taken this year.

^ A teaser for another model could arrive soon according to MB Passion, although it might not yet be the Black Series, as that's expected in one or two years or some such?

I guess that will be the AMG GT Clubsport.

New GT models from AMG available to order now: Three new members of the AMG GT family go on sale

Stuttgart/Affalterbach. Three new members of the AMG GT family are available to order now. The AMG GT and GT C Roadsters as well as the extremely sporty AMG GT R will be launched on the market in spring 2017.

AMG is extending its in-house developed family of sports cars outwards and upwards with the addition of three new members. Boasting motor racing technology for the road and cutting-edge features, the AMG GT R is an elite athlete that delivers a breathtaking driving experience. The front-mid-engine concept with transaxle, the V8 biturbo engine rated at 430 kW (585 hp), the extensively modified suspension, the new aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight construction lay the foundations for the exceptional driving dynamics.

The new Roadsters make hallmark AMG driving performance an even more intensive experience. In the entry-level model, the AMG GT Roadster, the AMG 4.0‑litre V8 biturbo unit produces an output of 350 kW (476 hp). Boasting an even more striking and dynamic appearance, the AMG GT C Roadster with its output of 410 kW (557 hp) and peak torque of 680 Nm is a brand new model variant that slots in between the AMG GT S and R.

The prices for the three new sports cars at a glance (in Germany incl. 19 % VAT):

• Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster: 129,180.45 EUR
• Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster: 160,650.00 EUR
• Mercedes-AMG GT R: 165,410.00 EUR

The AMG GT C Roadster especially employs some of the sophisticated technical features of the AMG GT R, including the active rear axle steering and the electronically controlled rear axle limited-slip differential. And from the Panamericana Grille through to the broader tail end, the AMG GT R genes are instantly plain to see, too. The GT C Roadster furthermore comes complete with a highly exclusive specification, with standard equipment including a nappa leather interior, the AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/DINAMICA microfibre and the additional drive program RACE. For the first time, the AMG performance seats are also optionally available with AIRSCARF neck-level heating and seat ventilation – for undiluted open-air driving pleasure the whole year round. The soft top opens and closes in approx. eleven seconds on both AMG GT Roadster variants, even when on the move at speeds up to 50 km/h.
