Design

The Mercedes AMG GT is an evolution of the SLS AMG’s design but is now shorter and lighter giving it better driving dynamics. The front gets an unmistakable Mercedes family face with large 3 pointed star logo in the centre of the grille. The AMG GT ditches the gullwing door that were a characteristic feature of the SLS AMG in favour of more conventional ones. The overall shape, long bonnet short rear, bears some resemblance to the SLS but is a lot curvier now.

The Mercedes AMG GT India adds to the already growing supercar market in India which has already seen the re-entry of Ferrari and other high profile launches. The AMG range in India includes the CLA 45 AMG, E63 AMG, GL63 AMG, GLA45 AMG, ML63 AMG and SLK55 AMG. We will keep you updated with the Mercedes AMG GT India launch and other details.
