For $136,050, the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT will give you 469 horsepower, pretend seating for four (Don’t use those back seats.), and a virtual driving instructor that shows you the best racing line around a track like you’re playing a Forza Horizon game. That’s the starting price (including the destination fee) of the 2024 AMG GT 55 Coupe.
For $177,050, Mercedes-AMG will bump power up to 577 horses in the GT 63 Coupe, giving you an electric car-like 3.1-second zero-to-60-mph time.
And “coupe” is a relative term here. The car has two doors, two reasonably sized front seats, and two rear seats that might fit a child if, for some reason, you took a child to a track day.
The AMG GT is Mercedes’ Porsche 911 fighter — a low-slung, high-performance machine with a standard limited-slip rear differential and torque vectoring to make it steer more precisely at the limit. It’s all-new for 2024, remodeled with new active aerodynamics and a choice of two extraordinary 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engines.
Mercedes released pricing this morning, coming in slightly lower than the $140,000 we expected. It comes with almost everything you could want as standard equipment, including the lap coach. But Mercedes will offer a few option packages, including an aero package that reduces front axle lift and adds rear downforce thanks to “additional front flics on the outer air intakes and wheel arches, side flics on the rear apron, a larger rear diffuser panel, and a fixed rear wing.”
And yes, we quoted that sentence mostly to tell you that engineers are now using the term “front flics,” which is both glorious and proof that they’ve run out of words to describe the many carbon-fiber aero bits they add to performance cars.
The AMG GT reaches dealerships this spring.
