Mercedes AMG GT: Even More Agile for the Racetrack.
Presented at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ is targeted at vehicle enthusiasts seeking excellent driving characteristics; it is the newest member of the AMG GT family. The overall performance and responsiveness to driving directions provide an even more sporting driving experience, which is especially apparent on the rare racecourse. The driving dynamics and lap times are improved thanks to more power, aerodynamic fine-tuning with even less aerodynamic lift, and improved cooling.
Also, the new model has all the great features seen in previous AMG GTs. The second-generation AMG GT has a roomy interior with excellent sight from all angles in response to consumer requests for more practicality in daily use compared to earlier models. A 2+2 configuration is also an option; details on the UK version have yet to be announced.
The addition of high-tech elements like standard rear-axle steering, active aerodynamics, and the AMG Active Ride Control suspension with active roll stabilisation further refines the driving profile. The athletic coupé also has fully adjustable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, which allows it to transmit its power to the road.
The 450 kW (612 horsepower) version of the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine guarantees top-notch acceleration. Its output is 20 kW (27 hp) more than that of the AMG GT 63, and for even more potent acceleration, the Affalterbach engine specialists have raised the maximum torque to 850 Nm, an increase of 50 Nm.
By making adjustments to the engine control unit, this performance boost was accomplished. At higher speeds, the AMG GT 63 PRO's overall performance is very impressive. The AMG GT 63 PRO can go from 0 to 200 km/h in 10.9 seconds, which is half a second quicker than the AMG GT 63. Reaching a peak speed of 317 km/h is possible.
To ensure that the drivetrain remains cool under heavy loads, the AMG GT specialists have strengthened the high- and low-temperature cooling circuits. The front wheel arches on either side now house two radiators. Due to an improvement in the drivetrain's cooling performance, the vehicle's overall performance on the racecourse is enhanced.
The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ completely variable all-wheel drive system now actively cools the radiators installed on the transfer case, front and rear axle differentials, and the vehicle's differentials. Coolant circulates in the appropriate cooling circuits with the aid of electrically controlled water pumps, allowing for greater and more continuous heat dissipation via the radiators positioned on top.
More air is directed to the brakes via the redesigned brake cover plates and the underbody air guide vanes with modified geometry. This keeps the brakes from getting too hot and prolongs their lives.
Front axle brake discs measuring 420 millimetres are part of the standard AMG ceramic high-performance composite braking system, which also has one-piston floating callipers and six-piston fixed callipers. They are currently the largest basic ceramic brake discs that Mercedes-AMG offers.
Performance brake discs use lightweight, high-strength titanium for the rear, much like in motorsport. Weight is reduced, especially for unsprung weights, via the braking system. In addition to ensuring quick lap times, its increased longevity and resistance to fading under strong braking are further benefits. With its lengthy service life and spontaneous reaction characteristics, the braking system also impresses. When it comes to regular driving, this is equally crucial for a safe environment.
The front splitter, side sill trim strips, diffuser, and rear wing made of high-quality carbon fibre are all part of the standard AMG Exterior Carbon Fibre package, which highlights the car's ties to motorsport. It also comes standard with black-painted brake callipers, high-lateral-support AMG Performance seats, and a Nappa leather/Microcut microfibre AMG Performance steering wheel.
