Mercedes‑AMG expands its newly unveiled GT 4‑Door Coupé lineup with the introduction of the Mercedes‑AMG GT 53 4‑Door Coupé.
The new GT model combines unmistakable AMG DNA with state-of-the-art technology, outstanding everyday usability, and dynamic long-distance comfort. It impresses with excellent driving performance, spontaneous power delivery, and agile, precisely controllable handling, complemented by an immersive sound experience featuring the authentic sound of an AMG six-cylinder engine.
Two powerful synchronous electric motors in the Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4-Door Coupé jointly mobilise up to 400 kW (544 hp) peak output. The electric drive unit with a permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) on the rear axle is characterised by an efficiency of 93 percent from battery to wheel over long distances. An innovative two-speed transmission combines efficiency and dynamics. The short ratio in first gear, at 11:1, enables strong acceleration from a standstill and efficiency in urban traffic. Second gear (ratio 5:1) is designed for power delivery at high speeds, as well as for good efficiency, range, and comfort on the motorway. The shift points adapt to the driving situation and the selected DYNAMIC SELECT driving programme.
The electric motor on the front axle (PSM) acts as a ‘boost’ motor. Depending on the driving situation and driving programme, it is engaged via a Disconnect Unit (DCU), for example, when there is a corresponding power demand or when traction is required. Under low load, the electric motor is disengaged instantly for higher efficiency and remains stationary.
Both electric motors together provide a peak output of 400 kW (544 hp) and a maximum torque of 800 Nm. The continuous output is 270 kW (367 hp). The GT 53 4-Door Coupé completes the sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds[1]. The electronically limited top speed of 230 km/h can be increased to 250 km/h with the optional AMG Driver’s Package.
The silhouette alone unequivocally states: the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé stands for performance at the highest level. Characterised by the dynamic fastback, the long, deeply drawn front bonnet, as well as the steeply raked windscreen and the distinctive rear diffuser, the vehicle makes a clear statement for maximum sportiness. Compared to its predecessor, the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé could be designed 4 cm flatter – and that’s despite the battery in the underbody.
A central component in the performance concept of the AMG GT 53 4-Door Coupé is aerodynamics that pursues an optimal balance of performance, efficiency, and stability. For this, Mercedes-AMG relies on two active AEROKINETICS elements that intelligently control the airflow at the rear and continuously adapt to speed, driving style, and performance requirements: the standard AEROKINETICS rear spoiler with intelligent operating strategy and the optional AEROKINETICS rear diffuser.
The interior of the Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4-Door Coupé combines consistent driver orientation with high long-distance comfort. The low seating position, typical of a sports car and perfectly integrated into the overall vehicle, immediately conveys a focused, emotional driving sensation. The instrument cluster and multimedia monitor merge into a high-quality unit with a ‘seamless glass’ look; the 14-inch central screen is ergonomically angled towards the driver, allowing for intuitive operation. On request, a separate display with individual content is also available for the front passenger. The centre console adopts the driver-oriented alignment of the cockpit and combines clear design with high everyday usability, with the Response Control rotary selector seamlessly integrated. Adding to its distinctive design, the centre console displays the AMG badge and a ‘GT’ emblem. It also includes an armrest with a closed storage compartment, two charging trays for inductive fast charging of smartphones, and illuminated cupholders.
The front seats, with their sporty and expressive design, offer high lateral support in dynamic corners and, at the same time, the comfort that customers expect from a four-door Grand Turismo. In the rear, comfortable individual seats, generous space, and intelligently designed footwells underscore the long-distance qualities. Additionally, the SKY CONTROL panoramic glass roof enhances the spacious feeling: the single-piece glass surface extends to the rear window and can be switched from transparent to non-transparent in individually controllable segments. At night, the AMG-specific light staging with illuminated crests and Racing Stripes creates a particularly emotional atmosphere.
- The above release is based on the international model range of Mercedes-Benz as of July 2026. UK-specific pricing and specifications will be available soon.
