2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 43

A few days ago, Mercedes-AMG introduced a new version of its sports GT model, the Mercedes-AMG GT 43. It is the first four-cylinder AMG GT in history, which will provide the same driving experience as the more powerful versions of this model.

Under the bonnet is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine combined with a 48V mild hybrid system for a total output of 421 hp (314 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). This means that it is 0.7 seconds slower than the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4Matic with four-wheel drive, which has the same number of horsepower.

If some think that this version is not powerful enough, it should be remembered that the GT 43 has 41 hp more than the SL 43 roadster and 54 hp less compared to the GT 53 model with a V8 engine.

The car is equipped with a redesigned front bumper without the front fascia extension but with larger interconnected intakes, the front and rear fenders are slimmer and combined with smaller side vents, the vertical vents on the rear bumper have been removed, the gloss black diffuser features four round tailpipes, and there are also composite brakes, five-link steel-spring suspension for the front and rear axles, aluminum dampers and lightweight coil springs. Optionally available is the AMG Ride Control chassis, rear-wheel steering system, AMG Dynamic Plus package with dynamic engine mounts, electronically controlled rear differential lock, additional Race driving mode, active aerodynamics for the chassis and yellow brake calipers.

It is mounted on a set of 19-inch wheels. Those who want more can optionally choose up to 21-inch wheels, a rear wing, and high-gloss chrome and black trim.

Inside, the AMG sports seats are upholstered in Nappa leather, but customers can also choose the optional AMG Performance seats. There’s also a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system. Mercedes-AMG also offers a Manufaktur personalization program.

A transporter with expensive cars overturned on the highway

At a time when the price of cars is rising, the least that new car buyers expect is news of damage to their cars. This is exactly what happened in the UK these days when a transporter with expensive cars overturned on the road.

Last week, British police received a call that a transporter with several supercars had overturned on the A20 near Farningham (Kent), not far from the famous Brands Hatch circuit. The vehicles are thought to be used to provide driving experiences at the racing circuit. The transporter driver escaped with only a minor injury. The cause of this accident is still unknown.

The video of this accident was published on the Twitter profile “Kent999s”, and can be seen damaged cars such as a Lamborghini Aventador, a Jaguar F-Type, two Ferraris, a Mercedes-AMG GT, a Nissan GT-R, an Aston Martin and a BMW, while a Bentley Continental ended on the roof.

It is not known how much the cars were damaged and whether some of them escaped unscathed. However, it is not easy for car enthusiasts to see such examples of expensive cars damaged.
