End of production of the Mercedes AMG GT

Is the Mercedes AMG GT performing its last dance? According to unofficial information, Mercedes will end production of the AMG GT at the end of the year, and orders are no longer being accepted.

The Mercedes AMG GT was first introduced in 2015 as a Coupé and Roadster version. It is powered by an AMG twin-turbocharged 4-liter biturbo V8 engine with 469 hp (350 kW) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT dual-clutch transmission.

In July, Mercedes introduced the fastest version of this model. The AMG GT Black Series is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter engine with 720 hp (530 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km / h).

The closing of orders is the first sign of the imminent end of the story for Mercedes ’non-electrified model. One thing is for sure, due to increasingly strict restrictive measures regarding the exhaust emissions of the successor to the GT model, a plug-in hybrid powertrain will be launched.

Full electrification is not planned yet, and the “open air” body version is not expected either, because Mercedes-AMG will present a new generation of SL models for open-air fans before the end of the year.

There is no doubt that AMG specialists in Affalterbach are working hard on GT’s successor which should appear in 2023.
