“With the Mercedes AMG GT C Coupe, we are now expanding our portfolio of sports cars to six models plus the AMG GT3 customer sport racing car. In fewer than three years, the second vehicle to be developed by us entirely in-house has grown into a family, offering a highly dynamic driving experience in a variety of forms. We are kicking off our anniversary year with the exclusive “Edition 50″ model of the new AMG GT C Coupe. We are also taking this opportunity to refine the AMG GT and AMG GT S, both visually and technically,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
One upgrade that will delight is the new Panamericana grille that all the 2018 AMG GT models will have. It features 15 chrome-plated bars that are placed vertically. Now it looks more like a sport racing car. The profile looks like it sits lower on the road due to the new front bumper’s design. This effect is obtained by the bumper emphasizing the car’s width. Mercedes knows you’re going to drive fast and furious in this car, so they made the outer air inlets larger to give more air to cool the engine.
Also new is the output variants restructuring. The AMG GT now puts out 469 hp in the entry level model. This is 13 hp more than previous year models. The 8-cyclinder engine now delivers an extra 22 lb-ft of peak torque. These new stats apply to the FT Roadster, as well.
