AMG,GT,Bigger

The new AMG GT is bigger and heavier than its predecessor, but still delivers a thrilling driving experience. With a power output of 577bhp and all-wheel drive, it offers improved performance, although fuel consumption has increased. The GT is a 2+2-seater on paper, but rear passengers over five feet tall may struggle. However, the increased boot volume is a welcome addition.

For the AMG faithful, there’s been a fair bit of nail-biting going on in the run-up to the launch of this new AMG GT. To add to this concern, this new GT was announced weighing a hefty 270kg more than its predecessor, and it had swapped the coveted transaxle layout for a less charismatic all-wheel drive chassis. We’ve driven it in the Sierra Nevada where God practiced creating The Perfect Corner. The newcomer’s power output of 577bhp from a twin-turbo 4.

0-litre V8 does match the GT R built from 2017 to 2021, but length, width, height and wheelbase have all gone up substantially and, although the all-wheel drive model is four tenths quicker off the mark, the WLTP fuel consumption has increased by over 20percent. Sometimes, progress comes in strange shapes and sizes. Like the SL it shares its basic DNA with, the GT is on paper a 2+2-seater, but don’t let the type approval police catch you carrying rear passengers over five feet tall. That said, the new shape and hatchback boot opening means the boot volume went up by 175 to a much more generous 321 litres
