Yahoo Autos 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT priced in two V8 trims, will be here in spring
We drove the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT a few months ago, and now it's time to buy it. The second-gen coupe will come to the U.S. in two initial V8 flavors, both powered by a hand-built, twin-turbo 4.0-liter eight-cylinder. The GT 55 makes 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, starting at $134,900 plus a $1,150 destination charge, to total $136,050 before options and fees. The GT 63 extends output to 577 hp and 590 lb-ft. and starts at $177,050 after destination. These are healthy, although not absurd, increases over MSRPs for the last of the first-gen car, when it came in base, C, R, Pro, and Black Series flavors.
In the case of the GT 55, it costs $16,500 more than the base 2021 AMG GT Coupe, yet the old car had more power but less torque at 523 hp and 494 lb-ft. The new GT 63 comes in $9,500 above the 2021 AMG GT R coupe, and it makes the same power but improves on the three-year-old car's 516 lb-ft. Of course, it's key to remember that the new versions are more advanced, better to drive, perform better, and come with back seats that are all-important to a wider range of buyers.
