2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG® GT Coupe

Performance

The engines are crafted entirely by hand at the Affalterbach facility using the “One Man, One Engine” principle. For example, the 2026 AMG® GT 43 model is powered by the AMG® 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with Hybrid Assist. This engine produces 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It offers pure experience while delivering efficiency and excitement.

In the GT 55, the AMG® 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine unit produces 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the V8 in the AMG® GT 63 delivers 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Going with the track-focused AMG® GT 63 PRO 4MATIC® Coupe, that power is raised to 603 horsepower with 627 pound-feet of torque.

The same 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine is also available in a plug-in hybrid performance configuration. The V8 engine resides up front, while a 201-horsepower electric motor is mounted at the rear. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE produces a combined 803 horsepower and 1,047 pound-feet of torque, making it the fastest GT coupe available. In fact, it produces a 0-60 MPH time of just 2.7 seconds.

All of these engines are mated to an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® Multi-clutch 9-speed transmission, which uses a wet start-off clutch in place of a torque converter for quicker response to accelerator pedal activity.

Beyond the transmission, power is distributed to all four wheels through the AMG® Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system, which includes a rear limited-slip differential. The system ensures optimum traction from each tire at its physical limit in curves. Greater traction also includes quicker take-off time, resulting in a 3.8-second 0-60 mph time for the GT 55, and 3.1 seconds for the GT 63 and PRO models. Of course, the system also provides a high level of handling stability and safety under poor conditions, such as wet or snowy roads.

Chassis

The four-wheel multi-link suspension system is enhanced with AMG® ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL. Active hydraulic elements replace the conventional mechanical torsion-bar anti-roll bars to compensate for rolling movements. It is as if the torsion roll bars could change from non-existent to very stiff in fractions of a second. Thus, when driving straight ahead, the system compensates for individual obstacles that would otherwise lead to rolling movements. In curves, the system uses the vehicle’s existing kinetic energy to help keep the body flat. The system’s hydraulics can also lift the front by 1.2 inches to accommodate curbs and speed bumps.

The new standard active rear-axle steering system will turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels below 60 mph for nimble maneuverability. Above 60 mph, they turn in the same direction to enable agile and stable high-speed handling. The brakes feature lightweight composite discs to reduce unsprung weight. A new system connecting the disc and brake chamber reduces space, which is used to improve brake cooling.

Controlling the drivetrain behavior is AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT with “Slippery,” “Comfort,” “Sport,” “Sport +,” “Individual,” and “RACE” modes. Each program offers a unique driving experience precisely tailored to different driving conditions.

Exterior

The 2026 Mercedes-AMG® GT retains its long hood and short rear deck dimensions, but with an expanded cabin to enable 2+2 seating. The body surfacing appears organic, with multiple compound curves and virtually no edges. The radiator grille is deeper and broader than the previous model and echoes Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrow racing models of the past.

The daytime running lights continue the characteristic three “light dots” that render the Mercedes-AMG® GT instantly recognizable from a distance. At the rear, the LED taillights are narrow but stretch across the entire width of the body, even as they repeat the theme of three distinct lighting elements on each side.

If you want something different from your AMG® GT Coupe, the MANUFAKTUR® individualization program offers an expanded choice of paint colors and themes to make it your own.

Interior

From the intricate turbine HVAC vents to the elegant materials and metallic finishes, the interior is a superb example of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.

The dashboard incorporates the latest digital technology with a strong driver-oriented design, as evidenced by the 12.3-inch configurable driver display. The helm is controlled by the flat-bottom AMG® Performance steering wheel covered in Nappa leather or Nappa leather/microfiber. Dual side spokes effectively create zones for all controls, making them instantly accessible.

Individualization is encouraged with the MANUFAKTUR® program. Colorways and interior pieces can be selected to fit your taste.

Technology

The 11.9-inch center multimedia touchscreen’s portrait format offers numerous advantages, especially for navigation. It is powered by the latest MBUX (Mercedes‑Benz User Experience) infotainment system, which includes extensive AMG®-specific with exclusive menu items such as “AMG® Performance,” where the driver can call up a wide range of data with a tap of the finger, including engine output, lateral acceleration, power distribution of the fully variable 4MATIC® all-wheel drive, tire pressure and fluid temperatures among other readings. Also available for track days is AMG® TRACK PACE, which records your driving time to tenth-of-a-second accuracy while tracking 80 items of vehicle-specific data.

Safety

Even a high-performance coupe needs to be protected from harm. Driver assistance and safety features include Blind Spot Assist, Surround View 360-Degree Camera, and Head-Up Display, to name a few.
