Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

The interior cabin of the Mercedes Benz AMG GT has a cockpit-like aura to it. In this two-seater supercar, one does seat low, in order to give a pure sportscar feel in terms of seating posture and driving ergonomics.

The flat-bottom steering wheel with piano black inserts looks very premium and feels good to hold, and while the pod-like instrument console is very informative with a MID in between, it looks a bit old school.

The dashboard feels quite wide, thanks to the large free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, below which are placed four round AC vents. From there, the massive centre tunnel commences, which divides the compartment into two parts, and houses all the controls for AMG DRIVE UNIT, which includes the touch controller for transmission as well as ESP, AMG Ride Control sports suspension, AMG performance exhaust system and many more.

Supercars ought to have a sleek and low slung stance, and the Mercedes Benz AMG GT has got the right amount of visual appeal for that matter. The curvaceous looks of the AMG GT go well with the low height of it.

The front view of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT gets a long swooping bonnet which is characterised by sharp contours on it and it ends up at the vertical grille with rounded edges and vertical slats within it. The teardrop-shaped sweptback headlamps come with full LED lighting pattern within them, and at the same time, the aggressive-looking air dams in the front bumper adds to its sportiness.

The side look of the Mercedes Benz AMG GT looks appealing with its low slung stance, low ground clearance and large wheels, which along with the curvy silhouette and long bonnet design, gives it a distinctive silhouette. The sloping roofline and swooping air dams on the front fenders add to the sporty coupe-ish appeal of the car.

At the rear, Mercedes-Benz has resorted to minimalism, with a clean look for the boot, consisting of sleek and long horizontal LED tail lamps.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is a true blue sportscar, and to help in that matter is the stiff suspension setup, low center of gravity and precise steering setup to give that perfect supercar setup. However, the downside to it is stiff ride quality and the car tips and bounces at points. As mentioned before, the AMG DRIVE UNIT aids the driver in altering all the mechanical aspects as per his preference.

For the AMG GT, Mercedes-Benz has employed a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine, which surely ranks among one of the most powerful turbocharged V8 engines currently available. Mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, the engine has the capability to produce a maximum power output of 480 PS and peak torque output of 630 Nm.

The Mercedes Benz AMG GT is armed with the best of safety features onboard, such as front and side airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, traction control, electronic stability control, tire pressure monitoring system, active park assist, reverse camera with parking sensors and many more

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT has got all the right ingredients to be termed as a perfectionist. It has got looks to die for, its cabin is the right mix of luxury and sporty appeal, it has got one screamer of powertrain and it rides and handles so beautifully. It will be right to say that the Mercedes Benz AMG GT is one deserving successor to the SLS AMG in a true sense.
