The New Mercedes-AMG GT 43: A Masterpiece of Elegance and Performance
March 13 2024,
Mercedes-AMG has once again raised the bar in the luxury coupe market with the unveiling of the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 43. This addition to the prestigious AMG GT Coupe family melds the thrill of sporty driving with advanced technological innovations, all while maintaining the elegance and comfort synonymous with the Mercedes-AMG brand.
At the heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 lies a marvel of engineering - a handcrafted 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivering an impressive 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse enables the GT 43 to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The incorporation of electric exhaust gas turbocharger technology, inspired by Formula 1™, alongside a 48-volt on-board electrical system, underscores Mercedes-AMG's commitment to pioneering performance solutions that enhance efficiency and responsiveness across the entire rpm range.
Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, eloquently captured the essence of the new GT 43, stating, "Our AMG GT family is at the top of our portfolio and embodies the spirit of our brand: Driving Performance. The GT 43 is a testament to our dedication to innovation, offering an agile vehicle that promises to deliver smiles on winding roads."
The vehicle's dynamic driving experience is further accentuated by the rear-wheel-drive setup, ensuring that the GT 43 remains highly agile and responsive. This agility is complemented by the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9G transmission, which employs a wet start-off clutch instead of a conventional torque converter. This setup not only reduces weight but significantly enhances response to accelerator pedal inputs.
A notable advancement in aerodynamics is the introduction of the AIRPANEL active air control system. This system, featuring louvers behind the air inlet, adjusts dynamically to optimize airflow and cooling as needed, thereby enhancing the vehicle's efficiency and performance. The retractable rear spoiler, seamlessly integrated into the trunk lid, adapts its position based on driving parameters to optimize stability or reduce drag.
The suspension system of the AMG GT 43 incorporates high-performance aluminum shock absorbers and lightweight coil springs, designed to deliver superior handling and stability at high speeds. Optional AMG RIDE CONTROL adaptive adjustable damping offers further customization, allowing drivers to fine-tune their driving experience with precision.
Safety and control are paramount in the AMG GT 43, as evidenced by the AMG high-performance composite brake system. This system features specially designed brake discs that ensure exceptional deceleration and control, even under extreme conditions.
Drivers can personalize their driving experience through five distinct AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs and the integrated AMG DYNAMICS system. These systems adjust various vehicle parameters to cater to different driving styles and conditions, from comfortable cruising to dynamic driving.
The exterior design of the AMG GT 43 sets it apart from its peers. It boasts exclusive design elements that accentuate its elegant yet sporty character, including a newly designed front fascia and unique rear fascia. The interior is a harmonious blend of analog geometry and digital technology, featuring a fully digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen. The MBUX infotainment system offers AMG-specific content and functions, enhancing the overall driving experience.
With its debut, the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 redefines what it means to drive a luxury coupe, offering an unmatched combination of elegance, performance, and technological innovation. It's not just a car; it's a statement on the road.
