What is it?

The second generation of the AMG GT supercar – and no longer a supercar. The original arrived back in 2014 as an aggressive, long bonneted, two-seater. Now it’s an (optionally) four-seat Super GT, a rival to the Aston Martin DB12 and Ferrari Roma as much as the Porsche 911 Turbo.

Beyond the engine, very little is carried over from the first gen. The chassis architecture is all-new and shared with the SL, but Mercedes is at pains to point out this is not an SL with a fixed roof and that the two cars were developed independently. That’s clear when you start driving it. The GT is far more fluent and capable; not only than the SL, but also its aggressive and edgy predecessor.

The GT first arrived with AMG’s familiar 4.0-litre twin turbo V8 in two states of tune: a GT 55 with 469bhp and a GT 63 with 577bhp courtesy of higher turbo boost pressure, better airflow and modified engine software. Then came the GT 43, complete with the bonkers little 415bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot from the AMG A45 S.

However, Mercedes now sells the range-topping GT 63 S E Performance using the same plug-in hybrid tech as the 831bhp GT 63 4dr, but here hoofing out 805bhp and 1,047lb ft of torque. That power comes courtesy of the 4.0-litre twin turbo V8, an electric motor and a 6.1kWh battery, and the 0-62mph time of 2.8 seconds makes this the fastest accelerating Mercedes ever. Yeah, it’s quicker to 62mph than an AMG One.

You can plug it in too, but you’ll only get around eight miles of all-electric range. It recoups energy remarkably quickly though, so don’t worry too much about the single digit range.

Oh, and you can already have a slightly more track-focused GT 63 Pro too. That gets an aero package as standard (scroll past the E Performance in the gallery below to see for yourself), extra cooling and a tad more power from the non-hybrid V8. That means 604bhp and 627lb ft of torque to help better demonstrate the focus beneath, bespoke-compound Cup 2R semi-slicks a cherry atop its sharper attitude.
