Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

Compared to all the other Mercedes-Benz cars, the Mercedes Benz AMG GT has got a much different looking cabin layout, which indeed looks sportiest ever to come out from the design minds at Mercedes-Benz. The thoughtful use of rich Alcantara leather and carbon fiber touches make the already sporty all-black cabin even more desirable and rich.

The driver’s cockpit looks futuristic and very involving with the three-spoke flat-bottom multi-functional leather steering wheel as well as full TFT instrument console, the latter of which has been shaped in a traditional pod-like layout. In the middle of the dashboard, the AMG GT gets a wide rectangular touchscreen infotainment system, below which there are four rounded AC vents, which are quite large in size and cover a major part of the center console.

Adding more visual drama and purpose to the cabin is the massive center transmission tunnel, which serves as a partition between the two seats on offer. Apart from the transmission lever, this tunnel hosts a number of controls and buttons for various functions like climate control, electric parking brake, drive mode controller, and other aids.

Considering the fact that it was brought in as a successor to the SLS AMG, the model which made the gullwing doors a fashion statement, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT had a really big task up its sleeve. However, one look at the AMG GT, and it seems that it has already won half the battle in the first impression.

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is nothing short of aggressive when viewed from the front. The commanding looking front grille of the car is an end form of a long and swooping front bonnet. And like all the AMG models, it also gets vertical chrome slats for the grille. The other elements of the front profile, including the sweptback all-LED headlamps with boomerang-shaped daytime running LEDs as well as a huge front bumper with sporty air dams, further make the front of the AMG GT look even wilder and purposeful.

When you look at the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT from the side, you can’t avoid the prominent length of the car, the major credits to which goes to the long wheelbase and long bonnet. Adding to it, the low ground clearance and sporty looking large alloy wheels give it the much-required supercar flavor. However, gone are the famous gullwing doors of SLS AMG, and what comes in for the AMG GT are more traditional frameless doors, which come fitted with tucked out outside rearview mirrors.

Taking much of the inspiration from other sports coupes in its stable from AMG, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT has a stubby design for the boot lid, which gets horizontally laid and super-wide LED tail lamps. The sharply raked rear windscreen and curved out roofline enhance its sporty appeal even more.

The Mercedes Benz AMG GT has been bestowed with the best of AMG Dynamic Plus package, which offers a number of sophisticated electronic driving aids, all of which work together to make this the best ever sports car from the German brand. However, for the urban setup, the ride quality is on a stiffer edge.

Like all the AMG models, the biggest highlight of the Mercedes Benz AMG GT has to be its engine, which here is a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 petrol engine. Coupled to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, this engine dishes out a maximum power output of 535 PS and maximum torque output of 670 Nm.

As expected from a high-end sports car, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is packed with all the modern safety aids, such as front, side, overhead, and knee airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, automatic emergency braking, traction control, active distance assist, electronic stability control, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring system and attention assist.

With all the right ingredients which are required to make a perfect sports car to look at and drive, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT rightfully deserves the title of best ever car to drive, to come out from its rich lineage.
