time seen with thinner camouflage in daylight. It has a pair of circular tailpipes on either side of the diffuser. The hotter GT 63 will replace these pipes with trapezoidal finishers. Like that, the GT53 has large and drilled brake discs with huge callipers.
The AMG GT coupe shares its platform with the new SL-Class. Mercedes design chief Gorden Wagener said Road & Track last year that the company was preparing to differentiate between the two models. He developed the SL into a take-along roadster for comfortable and luxurious cruising. The GT coupe, on the other hand, will be developed for buyers looking for sportier driving behaviour.
The AMG GT coupe will likely weigh less than the new SL due to the use of a fixed roof rather than the roadster’s power soft top. We don’t have any interior photos yet, but a rumour suggests the coupe is a pure two-seater instead of the convertible’s 2+2 layout.
Under the hood, expect the GT coupe to feature 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engines. In the SL, these engines are available in 469 and 577 horsepower versions. Insiders have already stated that Mercedes is developing a plug-in hybrid version of the SL, and it’s possible that will be an option in the coupe too. The power of this variant could reach 800 hp.
