The Mercedes-AMG GT

8:41 PM 0
I am not going to say much about this new Mercedes-AMG sports car as I simply think that its fabulous. It looks smaller, lighter and svelter than the Mercedes AMG SLS. It changes the game slightly from a bruiser of a GT to a smaller, more nimble one for Mercedes-AMG. The SLS may have had more presence, this is more compact.




Taken from Mercedes-AMG:
The Mercedes-AMG GT, the Mercedes-AMG sports car brand is moving into a new, top-class sports car segment for the company. The GT is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Its front mid-engine concept with transaxle and the intelligent aluminium lightweight construction form the basis for a highly dynamic driving experience. Its likewise newly developed AMG 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine underscores the hallmark AMG driving performance. The first sports car engine with internally mounted turbochargers ('hot inside V') and dry sump lubrication is configured in two output ratings: as a GT with 340 kW (462 hp) and as a GT S with 375 kW (510 hp). The new GT combines driving dynamics and first-class racetrack performance with superb everyday practicality, and efficiency that sets new standards in the segment!

Mercedes AMG previews a new engine for its upcoming GT

7:21 AM 0


"A compact design, low power-to-weight ratio, great fuel efficiency, and signature, distinctive AMG sound all work in harmony to create the high-performance AMG 4.0 Liter V8 Biturbo Engine (M178). This engine is truly bigger than the sum of its parts – and a quantum leap into the future of technology."


This is Mercedes Amg's latest 510 hp 4.0liter V8 made for the upcoming SLS replacement, simply called the Mercedes AMG GT. This will trickle down to the upcoming W205 C63 AMG and other models too. It is a sign of engine down sizing, the same like you have already seen with Audi with the RS6 and also in BMW with their M5 - both have smaller capacity turbocharged engines.

But the AMG engine sounds promising. Yes, the AMG sound is still there and beats the heck out of sheer noise presence compared to the other two. Aural pleasure is already more than half the battle won. If a car sounds good, I'd buy it. 

And now since its only a 4.0liter, it'll costs us Peninsular Malaysians about RM7000+ instead of RM10,000-RM15,000 depending on whether you have the 5.5liter or 6.3 (6.2 actually) V8 engines. Think of the money you'll save.
