Mercedes-AMG: GT Coupé light with 421 hp 🎥
DRIVING FUN Even with a displacement of just two liters, the AMG GT 43 Coupé ensures dynamic handling. The 421 hp is transferred to the road via the rear wheels alone - with a favorable weight distribution.
Mercedes-AMG is expanding the portfolio of the new AMG GT Coupé with the AMG GT 43. The combination of a lightweight four-cylinder engine on the front axle and pure rear-wheel drive makes the new model an agile cornering artist. The 2-liter turbo engine from AMG delivers 421 hp and generates a maximum torque of 500 Nm. In addition to the temporary power boost, the 48-volt mild hybridization also enables functions such as coasting and recuperation. The driving performance of the new model is up to standard: it accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed of 280 km/h.
Electric exhaust gas turbocharger
The operating principle of the electric turbocharger is based on the technology also used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. An electric motor around four centimetres in width is integrated directly on the turbocharger shaft. This electronically controlled motor drives the turbocharger shaft directly, accelerating the compressor wheel before the exhaust gas flow takes over the drive conventionally. This improves the response directly from idling speed.
In the AMG MCT 9G Speedshift transmission, a wet start-up clutch replaces the torque converter. It reduces the weight and optimizes the response to accelerator pedal commands thanks to its lower inertia. In addition, the intermediate throttle function in the Sport and Sport+ drive programs provides a particularly emotional gearshift experience.
Aerodynamically optimized
The Airpanel active air control system is a technical highlight for improving aerodynamics. The horizontal slats behind the upper air intake can be opened and closed electronically. This improves the aero performance. The rear spoiler changes its position depending on the driving situation. From 80 km/h, it adopts five different angular positions to either optimize driving stability or reduce drag.
