The AMG arm of Mercedes has generally been tasked with applying its skill in creating high-performance cars to existing models from the Stuttgart firm’s extensive range. But for the AMG GT, it had free rein to design the car from the ground up. So as well as taking previous learnings from its only other solo venture, the SLS, AMG had the chance to find out how far it could stretch the potential of Mercedes’ new turbocharged engines. Its formula was to keep the engine up front, and add the benefit of a decent-sized boot with a large liftback lid. But it was the two engines used - both hand-built V8s, producing 469bhp in the GT, and 514bhp in the GTS - that its makers hoped would give owners a taste of the “spirit of the glorious Mercedes sports cars”. Substituting the gull-wing doors of the SLS for conventionally-hinged openings meant the AMG GT sits lower on the road, with more of its weight at the rear end. 

Electronically-controlled adaptive dampers absorb the shocks of the most unforgiving road surfaces, meaning “the car cleaves into corners with a keenness that’s rare even among its sports car rivals”, according to the Autocar magazine test team.
