The Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes India, Eberhard Kern has finally made the confirmation in a press release that its AMG GT will start running on the Indian ways from this ongoing year. Yes, the other performance oriented luxury 2 door sports cars, such as Porsche 911 and Jaguar F-Type should be geared up to take a dreadful impedance from this upcoming model. The strategy behind launching the AMG GT is to fill the space left by the SLS AMG.
It will get the brand's latest design philosophy inspired by the Vision Gran Turismo Concept and will be lighter as well as stiffer than the SLS AMG in order to confer an amazing handling. Mr. Kern said, “With some of the most awaited products in the pipeline for the remaining two quarters, including the much awaited AMG GT, Mercedes-Benz is all set for another year of strong growth.”
Spreading light beneath its skin, where the runabout comprises a new 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 engine that will be quite impressive in producing two output tunes for AMG GT and AMG GT S, 456 bhp and 503 bhp, respectively. Mated to a 7-speed dual clutch Gertrag transmission just like the Ferrari range, the former will have an appreciable capacity to be accelerated from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, while the latter will do the same in 3.7 seconds.
Mercedes is expected to bring one Edition variant during its launch, which would get exclusive cosmetic modifications and optional features, such as Nappa leather upholstery, Keyless Go, Collision Prevention Assist PLUS and a Burmester audio system. Well, the price is still under anticipations that might stand for INR 2 Crore in the Indian showroom.
