Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Replacing the SLS AMG GT, the Mercedes-AMG GT is an all-new 2-seater sports coupe with conventional doors and a fixed roof. For 2016, only the more powerful GT S is available, propelled by a twin-turbo 4-litre V8 sending 503 horses to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. To keep weight distribution in check, the engine is located behind the front wheels. An “entry level” 456- horsepower GT version will appear next year.
