The model
Read full New Mercedes-AMG GT reviewThe Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé isn’t as agile or engaging as the best sports cars, but it’s surprisingly practical and the V8 petrol engine – a rarity these days – sounds fantastic. It's available as a plug-in hybrid, but rather than leading to great company car tax savings, the PHEV offers the most blistering performance in the range.
The trim
See full equipmentEven this entry-level trim comes well equipped. Highlights include a panoramic glass roof, a 360-degree parking camera and a Burmester surround sound stereo. Meanwhile, standard driver aids include automatic emergency braking (AEB), traffic-sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring and a driver attention alert system.
The engine
See full engine specsThe entry-level engine has only four cylinders but still produces 415bhp, and it features mild-hybrid electrical assistance, which adds a further 14bhp. That combination is enough for 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds.
