The Mercedes-AMG GT is a model that epitomizes the essence of top-tier sports cars, featuring both powerful performance and a stylish design. Mercedes-Benz Korea is unveiling the second-generation GT ten years after the domestic launch of the first-generation GT in 2015.

The second-generation GT will be available in two models. The "GT 55 4MATIC+" will be launched this month, with customer deliveries beginning in June. The high-performance plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model, "GT 63 S E Performance," is scheduled for release later this year.

The "New GT 55 4MATIC+" is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine built according to Mercedes-AMG’s "One Man, One Engine" philosophy, paired with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9-speed transmission. This combination delivers a maximum output of 476 horsepower and a peak torque of 71.4 kgfm, offering powerful performance. The maximum torque matches the level of the "GT R" model, which delivered the highest performance in the first-generation GT lineup.

The vehicle features AMG Active Ride Control suspension with active roll stabilization for enhanced stability and agility, rear axle steering supporting up to 2.5 degrees of rear-wheel steering, AMG Dynamic Engine Mounts that optimize the connection between the engine and body, and the fully variable all-wheel drive AMG Performance 4MATIC+, providing the appeal of a racing car.

The car offers foldable 2+2 seating, and the trunk space can be expanded to a maximum of 675 liters, which is about twice as large as that of the first generation. The 11.9-inch central LCD display is touch-operated. Customers can choose from a total of 21 exterior paint options, including 16 Manufaktur colors, and 14 interior leather color options, including 10 Manufaktur colors, to suit their individual preferences.

Mercedes-Benz Korea will provide customers who purchase the vehicle with the opportunity to receive driving instruction from professional instructors and experience the circuit at Yongin AMG Speedway. In addition, to commemorate the launch of the fully redesigned second-generation GT, the "Mercedes-AMG GT 55 4MATIC+ Launch Edition" will be offered in a limited run of 10 units.
