2027 Mercedes-AMG
GT 55 Coupe

The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 Coupe is where the current GT lineup acquires the engine many buyers associate most closely with AMG: a handcrafted 4.0-liter biturbo V8. Producing 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, the V8 sends the GT 55 from 0–60 mph in an estimated 3.8 seconds and on to an electronically limited 183-mph top track speed. Standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive makes that performance accessible with a level of traction the original rear-drive AMG GT never had.

The V8’s numbers tell only part of the story. Peak torque arrives at 2,250 rpm and remains available through 4,500 rpm, giving the GT 55 the broad surge of power that distinguishes a large-displacement AMG from the four-cylinder GT 43. Each engine is still assembled by a single AMG craftsperson and carries that builder’s signature, preserving the company’s “One Man, One Engine” tradition in an increasingly computerized performance world.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+ continuously varies torque distribution between the front and rear axles. The system is designed to provide the security of all-wheel drive without erasing the GT’s rear-driven character, while the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT nine-speed transmission handles rapid gear changes without a conventional torque converter. The result is a car that can launch hard enough to reach 60 mph in 3.8 seconds but still feels appropriately composed during ordinary driving.

The chassis is equally elaborate. AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension uses interconnected hydraulic elements to manage body movement while allowing each wheel to respond to road conditions. Active rear-axle steering changes the effective behavior of the car according to speed, improving maneuverability around town and stability during faster driving. An electronically controlled rear differential, AMG DYNAMIC SELECT and AMG DYNAMICS give the driver additional control over how aggressively the GT responds.

Aerodynamics are active rather than decorative. AIRPANEL elements manage airflow through the front of the car, while a multistage rear spoiler changes position according to driving conditions. The long hood, rearward cabin and broad rear haunches retain the proportions expected of an AMG GT, but the current generation adds considerably more everyday usability. Passenger capacity is two as standard with an optional 2+2 configuration, and cargo capacity is 11.3 cubic feet.

The GT 55 starts at $137,450, a substantial jump from the four-cylinder GT 43. The additional money buys 53 more horsepower, 147 additional lb-ft of torque, standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ and, most importantly, the character of a handcrafted AMG V8. For buyers who see the GT as a grand touring car first and a track weapon second, the GT 55 may be the most balanced V8 in the range.

Active Rear-Axle Steering

The rear wheels help reduce the effective turning circle at lower speeds and contribute to stability and handling response at higher speeds.

Electronically Controlled Rear Differential

Active control of torque across the rear axle helps improve traction and corner-exit performance.

AMG DYNAMIC SELECT

Multiple drive programs alter powertrain, steering, suspension and stability-control responses to suit different roads and driving styles.

Available 2+2 Seating

The GT 55 is configured as a two-seater as standard, with an available rear seating arrangement that can expand passenger capacity to four.
