GT [Official] The all-new Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé

[AbsoluteUnit]

Almost no aluminum that’s why.

Surely not.... Why make a dedicated sports car architecture and not have it be all-aluminium?
Hopefully they can upgrade it.

To safe money, they admitted it to the dealers.

The C190 and R231 were to expensive in the production.

If they wanted it to be considered a 911 competitor, this was probably not the best decision.

Imagine what they could have achieved with the lighter chassis, alongside the 4WD, AMG Dynamic Select Suspension and RWS, as the car is already pretty impressive in its road going abilities as it is.

That said, it appears the pricing in Europe may be too close to a 911 already. Here the AMG costs about the same as a comparably specced Carrera S, and undercuts a comparably equipped GTS by a decent 15%+, depending on how close you want to get the 911 to the AMG's equipment levels.

I absolutely agree with you.

300kg lighter and this thing would fly.

The GTS has become the worst 911 you can buy. Gorgeous technology but terrible sound, and way too expensive.

Maybe I am a bit harsh, but for me it’s the C63SE equivalent of the 911s.

I am really beginning to lust after a C190.

I drove the new GTS at a track day recently. It's an absolute bullet, but the engine sound was not a patch on the superceded GTS. I think the 992.1 is a a long term keeper.

Erster Test für GT3-Nachfolger von AMG: Kraftakt mit Vollcarbon-Monocoque?

Nach Jahren der Spekulation ist der Prototyp des neuen GT3-Autos von Mercedes endlich fahrbereit: Wie groß der Aufwand ist und welche Rolle der HWA-Bruch spielt

www-motorsport--total-com.translate.goog

Full Carbon monocoque.

Now things are getting interesting.

 

[Fastpaddy]

Ok I have some great news.

So the new AMG GT, was never intended to be a real AMG GT replacement.

Mercedes need a new platform for their next GT3 car and the new AMG GT is all wrong. Engineers said its too heavy, gearbox in the wrong place etc etc.

The new GT3 car has to be better than the existing one and the New AMG GT just isnt from a sporting point of view.

So mercedes will be releasing a new sports car and GT3 racecar that its based off in 2026.

So the rumours of s SLS return/replacement is sounding true.

This rumour is what I was told via AMG engineers whilst at an event in europe off record.

Hallelujah

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

Hallelujah

Show me the money.
When do we get to see it?

What are they gonna call the new sports car?

Yes! They preview future High performance variants!

 

[Swissbob]

From EQS53 to this, what a U-turn.

 

[klier]

Full CF monocoque would make it another car altogether.

Interesting to say the least. Sounds amazing.

 

[Merc1]

It’s a concept tho?

[Fastpaddy]

The naming system is stupid. Still calling it a GT? Bring back the SLS name. Id imagine the price point will be considerably higher than the current gt63s

One thing is for sure, in the times of the EV, car manufacturers like mercedes and bmw are recognising the value in enthusiast clients who will spend money on their high margin models, and them serving as halos, something the Chinese cannot compete with at all.

In any case. Im planning to pick one up at 2-3 years old once it’s depreciated a bit

 

[leylandi]

AMG is making a move. BMW may be preparing an M2 CS Plus in response.

Yes, concept to preview high performance variant of the AMG GT.

Still not comparable.

Branding/naming is in flux right up until launch time.

I think they want to have a family of "AMG GTs" in the same way that Porsche has a family of 911s. Although the 911 is the same fundamental car in all its applications, to my knowledge.

The curious thing is what they're gonna do with the MSA AMG GT once this comes out. Naturally, it'll be a much cheaper entry point, but its also not a thoroughbred sports car. They could slowly phase out the MSA GT63 and leave that exclusively for the SL, whilst replacing it with a detuned "GT TrackSport"?

Are they going to shelve the MSA platform entirely after the current run of the SL and GT are finished? Or will they upgrade it with stuff from the new GT platform?
Or is this new platform a derivative of MSA to begin with, just upgraded to be made from carbon and run a transaxle? An MSA2 if you will.

Many questions, but its all exciting.
