Handcrafted AMG engine, performance, and transmission
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe is powered by a Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine in two performance levels. The luxury division of Mercedes-Benz assembled the entire engine by hand at the company’s site in Affalterbach according to the “One Man, One Engine” principle.
The high-performance AMG GT features a tuned engine that generates 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. It attains 60 mpg from 0 in just 3.1 seconds, and the top speed is 196 mph. In the GT 55, the V8 engine produces 469 hp and 516 hp of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, and the top speed is 183 mph.

The luxury equipped the engine with a new oil pan, repositioned intercooler, and active crankcase ventilation. The inlet and outlet ports have been optimized for more effective gas exchange and the exhaust gas routing for the catalytic converter and Otto particle filter has been enlarged. The developers achieved the additional output of the AMG GT 63 Coupe primarily through higher boost pressure and greater airflow to the engine, as well as modified engine software.
The Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 Biturbo engine is paired with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission which combines an emotional shift experience with extremely short shift times and is specially tailored to the new AMG GT Coupe.

The systems can respond to impending collisions as the situation demands. The functioning of the systems is made visible by a new display concept in the instrument cluster.
The assistance display in the instrument cluster clearly and transparently shows how the driver assistance systems work in a full-screen view. The driver can see their car, lanes, lane markings, and other road users such as cars, trucks, and two-wheel vehicles in a spatially abstract 3D manner.
