  • Highs Ferocious acceleration, grippy handling, fancy cabin.
  • Lows Snug rear seat space, frustrating infotainment menus, high starting price.
  • Verdict The GT Coupe is back and more refined than before, but it's lost some of the flavor of the original recipe.
By Austin Irwin

Overview

The new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe borrows much of its brains and muscle from the SL roadster. The new GT Coupe is longer, wider, and has a longer wheelbase than before, but the big news is its standard all-wheel-drive system—something the AMG GT has never offered before. Buyers can get any engine they want in their GT, as long as it's a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8. The difference between the GT55, which produces 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, and the GT63 which busts out 577 ponies and 590 pound-feet of torque will be heard and felt. The new GT Coupe features trick chassis components such as a hydraulic anti-roll system and rear wheel steering to help improve handling, making it all the better for chasing down Porsche 911 Turbos on the track.

What's New for 2024?

Remember what you loved about the AMG GT and throw the rest away. The redesigned 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe has a familiar twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 powerplant, but new trim levels and standard all-wheel drive. It's longer, has a larger interior, offers more cargo space, and has a current on-sale date of mid-2024.

Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe starts at $136,050 and goes up to $177,050 depending on the trim and options.

The difference between the GT55 and the GT63 is a steamy $41,000 in price, but when it comes to paying six figures for a car like this, we'd argue for getting the most powerful version. If the increase in price is worrisome, consider the meaningful increase in yeehaw to the tune of 577 horsepower and 590 pound-feet torque. There's an optional package that adds carbon-ceramic brakes, which are bigger than the standard wheels on the full-size Sprinter delivery van.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance

Both the GT55 and GT63 use Mercedes' twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 powerplant and a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The GT53 produces 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, while the GT63 boasts 577 horses and 590 pound-feet of torque. Mercedes claims the GT63 should hit 60 mph in three seconds, and after our initial test drive, we agree with that claim. While the new standard all-wheel-drive system will likely improve the previous GT's acceleration time (thanks to better launch traction), it's also able to route 100 percent of the engine's torque to the rear axle for smokey burnouts and donuts. Rear-wheel steering and an electronically-controlled limited-slip differential work to keep the GT on its tiptoes, but overall the new car's not quite as entertaining as the previous generation model. For navigating tricky driveway entrances and speed bumps, the AMG GT's optional nose-lift system pops the front end up by 1.2 inches. We have spotted test mules for the GT Coupe donning charging ports that would indicate Mercedes is developing a more powerful plug-in hybrid model that could meet or beat the former 720-hp Black Series' output.

Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

All that horsepower makes for a thirsty AMG GT Coupe, and the EPA estimates that both the GT55 and GT63 will deliver 13 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. When we get a chance, we'll take the GT Coupe on our 75-mph real-world highway fuel economy test and will update this story with test results. For more information about the GT Coupe's fuel economy, visit the EPA's website.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The new GT's cabin is more spacious and easier to see out of than the old coupe's. The GT offers the option of a panoramic glass roof, which caps a splendidly high-tech and luxurious interior. Massaging sports seats are expected kit on this high-cost, high-power grand tourer; additional room behind the front row gives way for some extra interior cargo room. There are rear seats, but the lack of headroom and space back there deems them decorative. The powered rear hatch is hands-free, and the cargo area it opens to can handle two golf bags.

Infotainment and Connectivity

An 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard on all AMG GT Coupes, but some users may find its complex menu system frustrating. All models come with a wireless phone smartphone charging pad, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto are standard, and a Burmester stereo system.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

A host of driver-assistance features will be offered, but right now it's unclear which will be standard and which will be optional. For more information about the GT Coupe's crash-test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. Key safety features are likely to include:

  • Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • Standard lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist
  • Available adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature

Warranty and Maintenance Coverage

Mercedes-AMG's standard warranty package is the least special thing about its cars, and it covers a basic four-year/50,000-mile period with no frills or extras. The GT Coupe's closest rival, the Porsche 911 Turbo, offers a complimentary scheduled maintenance program whereas the AMG does not.

  • Limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
  • Powertrain warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles
  • No complimentary scheduled maintenance
