The 4-Door AMG GT

After AMG built the two-door AMG GT, they decided to make a four-door version of the same vehicle and that is the AMG GT 4-Door. It was unveiled in 2018, which was four years after the introduction of the AMG GT. AMG still refers to this vehicle as a coupe because of its design which was heavily influenced by the AMG GT. It also seemed to combine the personalities of other Mercedes like the E-Class, CLS, and the AMG GT. The sloping design and frameless windows further reinforce the fact that this is a four-door coupe.

Sleek Exterior Design

The concept of this vehicle was first teased in 2017 and the final production was released in 2018 with a striking resemblance. The front end has AMG’s Panamericana grill with huge vents to supply enough air to the engine. Its sleek headlights look like eyes staring into your soul and the public has said the entire front looks like the face of a shark. It’s a beautiful face with a fierce look.

The side profile looks like a stretched two-door AMG GT but with good proportions and extra rear doors. It also gets a variety of wheel designs and sizes, ranging from 19–21 inches. At the rear, it looks very similar to the two-door AMG GT similar taillight design, and different style quad exhaust tips depending on the trim. You also get an integrated active spoiler or a fixed one if you equip the aero package.

Interior and Cargo Space

The GT 4-Door is a mix of different vehicle configurations in one. It is a 4-door family car which means it seats up to five people, but the sloping coupe design eats into the rear passenger headroom. This also affects the boot space with the hatch design, which is more space than a sedan but less space than a wagon at 12.7 cubic feet. For comparison, the E63 AMG sedan has 13.1 cubic feet while the Wagon has a minimum of 35 cubic feet of cargo space. A Porsche Panamera has more cargo space than the GT 4-Door at 17.6 cubic feet.

There are two engines available for the AMG G 4-Door, which starts with an inline six turbo hybrid engine. This engine is only available on the 43 and 53 models, with the GT43 making 362 horsepower, but in the GT53 it puts out more power at 429 horsepower. Both vehicles feature AMG’s nine-speed torque converter automatic paired with an AMG 4-Matic all-wheel drive system.

The 63 models switch to the big boy engine, which is the famous 4.0 later twin-turbo V-8 used across all V-8-equipped AMG models. The base GT63 makes 577 horsepower, which is standard for this engine, but puts out 630 horsepower in the GT63S and packs a punch. Having this much power in a family car is already crazy, and AMG also introduced a hybrid version of the GT63, which is but a tad bit more tamed.

AMG GT63S E-Performance

The GT63S E-performance may be a mouthful, but it is the most powerful AMG vehicle on sale, excluding the AMG One hypercar. Its engine still makes 630 horsepower, but when paired with the hybrid system, that number jumps up to 830 horsepower. It is the most powerful family vehicle on sale today. All 63 models use AMG nine-speed multi-clutch transmission which is different from the lower trims. Power is to all four wheels via the Mercedes 4-Matic+ system, although it’s equipped with a “drift mode” that turns it into a rear-wheel drive tire slayer.

There are also various drive select modes to choose from, but some are only accessible on higher trims and they include:

AMG GT43 and GT53: Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Slippery and Individual.

AMG GT63: Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Slippery, Race, Drift Mode and Individual.
