Mercedes-AMG GT S

The hottest of all AMGs is here. The Mercedes-AMG GT S was launched today at Rs 2.4 crore, ex-showroom Delhi. The beautiful GT S is the more powerful version of the AMG GT and takes over the baton from the highly successful SLS AMG. The GT S goes up against the Porsche 911 and the Jaguar F-Type.

The Mercedes-AMG GT S has been entirely developed by the AMG division and employs an all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mill in a compact arrangement. This potent engine produces peak power of 510 PS at 6250 rpm and 650 Nm of torque between 1750 to 4750 rpm. All that power and torque lights up the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The AMG GT S can do the 0-100kmph sprint in just 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 310kmph. It’s not just outright acceleration that the GT S is good for, though. Mercedes-AMG has done a splendid job giving the GT that handling prowess to rub shoulders with a 911. The AMG GT S gets an aluminium space frame with independent double-wishbone suspension all round and adjustable damping as standard. Dry sump lubrication, ceramic brakes, forged wheels, dynamically adjusting engine and transmission mounts further make the AMG GT S track worthy.

The styling of the AMG GT will be a big draw too. The tapered front and rear bumpers give more than a peek of the tyres when viewed straight up. What adds to this muscular stance is the SLS AMG-inspired wide haunches. The lights of the AMG GT aren’t the best part of the design though. The best angle to view the AMG GT is definitely side-on. The tiny bubbled roof slopes in smoothly to the rear almost as neatly as the gorgeous Jaguar F-type and that’s saying something.
