The 2024 model introduces a prominent feature – a second row of seats – transforming the previously two-seater sports car into a 2+2 configuration.
To accommodate this change, the wheelbase has been extended from 103.5” to 106.3”, resulting in an overall length increase to 186” (from 179”) and a width expansion to 78.1” (from 76.3”). This alteration offers more passenger space, particularly suitable for individuals under 5 feet tall, making it convenient for school runs and family outings.

A significant highlight is the incorporation of the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system, a first for the GT Coupe. Powering the vehicle is the AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine, available in two setups.
The base model, AMG GT 55, generates 469hp and 516lb.ft of torque, propelling the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. For those seeking more power, the upgraded GT 63 variant harnesses the same engine but with increased boost pressure and airflow, resulting in a remarkable 577hp, 590lb.ft of torque, and a rapid 0-to-60 time of 3.1 seconds.
Dynamic enhancements abound, with active aerodynamics for improved handling, active roll stabilization for reduced body roll during cornering, active rear steering for enhanced agility, and six distinctive drive modes catering to varied driving scenarios.
