It’s been four years since Mercedes surprised us all by turning one hundred and eighty degrees by putting the Mercedes AMG GT on the runway.
The manufacturer not only presented a car, but, through the spectacular new Mercedes design language, left no doubt where it wanted to go, and how. A new path where the main bet was to attract customers with a young and technological target , creators of the new concept of luxury.
But, in addition, the AMG began the birth of a new family within the brand .
In 1967 the Germans Hans Weber Aufrecht and Eberhard Melcher began an engineering, design and development project for engines in the old Burgstall mill.
Four years later, and after an agreement with Mercedes, they modified the 300 SEL 6.8, which wins in its category the 24 Hours of Spa. 22 years later, and after becoming a DaimlerChrysler subsidiary in 1999, the first car developed under the AMG and Mercedes Benz commercial agreement, the C36 AMG, was born. And finally, and coming to the matter at hand in 2016, the AMG-GT and the AMG GT R are put on sale.
The main difference is that we went from identifying the acronym AMG, not only as the most radical endings in sports benefits, which by the way continue; With the birth of this exclusive car, the AMG GT family was born. For the first time, Mercedes faces the sports cars on the market by playing the same cards. Models created, developed and equipped to match the historical sports that we all have in mind.
At the beginning of 2019, this model is updated by incorporating the AMG DYNAMICS dynamics control, enhancing its agility. It also includes the new AMG Performance steering wheel , the center console with display keys and inherits the display of the fully digital AMG supersport frame.
But the big change that really occurs in this vehicle is the four-door option. The AMG GT 4-door model begins a family that is likely to become large.
