2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe Review: Price, Specs & Features

2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe Review: Price, Specs & Features

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT comes in two distinct flavors. It is simply the GT, a two-door, high-performance luxury coupe or convertible and the GT 4-Door Coupe, a four-door, four seat hatchback aimed at the best-performing sedans in the world. Sometimes called the "Mercedes-AMG GT," we'd prefer to shorten the name to just "fast." The GT coupe and roadster are the successor to the SLS AMG as the top sports car in Mercedes' lineup.

However, Mercedes doesn't consider the GT a direct successor. Though the GT uses some of the SLS's structure, it is shorter overall, drops that model's gullwing doors, and costs less.

The AMG GT is the second car built by the AMG brand on its own without a Mercedes-Benz production car as its basis and it's gunning straight at the Porsche 911.

The AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is the third car built by AMG and it has the likes of the Porsche Panamera, Audi S7/RS 7 and BMW M5 in its sights.

The AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is new for 2019. Its structure is shared with the E-Class, CLS-Class, and even the C-Class, but AMG engineers reinforced it in several ways and lengthened the wheelbase over the two larger cars. The closest of those is the CLS, which is also marketed as a coupe, but the CLS is actually a sedan while the GT 4-Door Coupe is a hatchback or fastback. Mercedes offers the the GT four-door in three models: 53, 63 and 63 S. The 53 features a 429-hp twin-turbo inline-6 with a 48-volt mild hybrid system that adds power and runs the air conditioning and water pump. Both of the 63 models get a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that makes 570 hp in the 63 and 630 hp in the 63 S. The 0-60-mph time passes in as little as 3.1 seconds and the top speed is as high as 195 mph.

The first AMG GT coupe models arrived in 2015 for the 2016 model year. With similar proportions to the SLS, the AMG GT comes off as prettier, and one of the most attractive Mercedes designs in a long time. The interior adopts an aviation-influenced concept, with just enough buttons on the center console to control all of the car's mechanical systems—no need to dig through pages of menus, which is much appreciated in the heat of the moment.

Under its hood, the AMG GT offers a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine in two states of tune, one for each of a pair of variants of the car: the AMG GT and AMG GT S. The GT is the entry point to the range, offering 456 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. The car can dash from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 189 mph. The more potent GT S is rated at 503 hp and 479 lb-ft, reducing the 0-to-60-mph sprint to 3.7 seconds and with an electronically limited top speed of 193 mph. Both versions of the car use the same 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which is carried over from the SLS AMG. The GT S was offered in the first year of production, including a special Launch series, with the GT added for subsequent model years.
