The model
Read full New Mercedes-AMG GT reviewThe Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé isn’t as agile or engaging as the best sports cars, but it’s surprisingly practical and the V8 petrol engine – a rarity these days – sounds fantastic. It's available as a plug-in hybrid, but rather than leading to great company car tax savings, the PHEV offers the most blistering performance in the range.
The trim
See full equipmentUltimate versions of the AMG GT feature an AMG aerodynamics package that includes everything from a redesigned front bumper to an F1-style rear diffuser and active aerodynamics beneath the car to help suck it to the ground.
The engine
See full engine specsThe GT 63 S E combines the 604bhp V8 from the AMG 63 Pro with a 202bhp electric motor, which cuts the 0-62mph sprint time to just 2.8sec. As a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), this version can also drive purely on electric power, although only for eight miles (officially).
