Mercedes AMG GT S

The Mercedes-AMG GT (C190) is a 2-door, 2-seat grand tourer coupé produced by Mercedes-AMG. The sports car was presented on September 9, 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. After the SLS AMG, it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. The car is produced in two performance variations, with the Mercedes-AMG GT S (C120) having a slightly higher performance. All variants are assembled at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.

The GT has an engine with a power output of 476HP or 350 Kw while and the GT S reaches 510 HP.

The AMG GT's exterior design was kept similar to that of the predecessing SLS AMG. It features the wide wheel arches and lower bodywork of the SLS, but does not employ its gullwing doors. The large hood and slim windscreen have also stayed the same. The exterior lead designer was Mark Fetherston, whose previous works include the W176 A-Class, the CLA-Class and the SLS.[1] The interior, designed by Jan Kaul, features a large center console and decorative elements in a leather and carbon polymer design.[2] The trunk offers room for a medium-sized suitcase.

The vehicle structure is made up of 93% aluminum, with the front module base made up of magnesium.

The car is powered by a front-mid mounted M178 4-litre twin-turbo V8. This new V8 is in "hot inside V" configuration—with exhaust and turbochargers inside the cylinder banks to reduce turbo lag—and uses dry-sump lubrication. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a transaxle 7-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission; the GT S model employs an electronically controlled mechanical limited-slip differential.
