2021 Mercedes-Benz GT-Class: AMG GT 43 Arrives with Thrilling Performance and Everyday Usability

Mercedes-Benz USA has announced the pricing and availability of the 2021 AMG GT 43, the latest addition to the exhilarating Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe lineup. Starting at an MSRP of $89,900*, the AMG GT 43 delivers a compelling blend of signature AMG driving dynamics and everyday practicality, making the prestigious GT-Class more accessible than ever. This new variant incorporates the hallmark features of the top-tier AMG GT 4-Door Coupe models, ensuring a high-performance experience without compromising on usability.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe range represents the third model line developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG, following in the footsteps of the acclaimed 2-Door AMG GT and the iconic SLS AMG. The 2021 AMG GT 43 is engineered to provide an intelligent and efficient powertrain coupled with a uniquely AMG-developed chassis. It mirrors the high standard equipment level found in the AMG GT 53, ensuring a premium experience from the outset. Key standard features for the 2021 AMG GT 43 include the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-Speed transmission, AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes for tailored driving experiences, AMG Ride Control Sport Suspension for enhanced handling, and silver-painted 6-piston front brake calipers for robust stopping power. Inside, the vehicle boasts a Burmester® surround sound system for an immersive audio experience, an electronically deployable rear spoiler for optimized aerodynamics, and the advanced Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system, now standard across all 2021 GT 4-Door models. The MBUX system offers an intuitive user interface, AI-powered learning capabilities, natural language voice control via “Hey Mercedes,” and convenient touchscreen operation.

Powering the 2021 AMG GT 43 is a highly sophisticated 3.0-liter Inline-6 Turbo engine enhanced with EQ Boost technology. The EQ Boost system utilizes a 48V battery and an Integrated Starter-Generator to provide on-demand electric power. This innovative system supplements the internal combustion engine by contributing up to an additional 21 hp and a substantial 184 lb-ft of torque at lower engine speeds. This results in enhanced responsiveness and performance, especially during initial acceleration and overtaking maneuvers.

Reflecting the broad spectrum of the AMG GT range, the new AMG GT 43 offers extensive customization options. Customers can personalize their vehicle with a range of interior configurations, including standard two-place individual rear seats or the optional executive rear seat package for enhanced rear passenger comfort. A diverse selection of wheel designs is also available, alongside the option to upgrade to the exceptional Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System for audiophiles.

The introduction of the AMG GT 43 Coupe further expands the AMG GT family, catering to drivers who seek the exhilarating driving dynamics synonymous with AMG GT models, combined with the practicality required for daily use. The AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe comfortably accommodates four passengers while upholding the uncompromising performance and luxury standards expected from Mercedes-AMG vehicles. Deliveries in the U.S. are anticipated to commence in late 2020, bringing this exciting new model to eager customers.
