The Mercedes GT AMG, internally referred to as C190, will be built on a front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform that is derived from the underpinnings of the SLS. Appearance-wise, not only will the GT borrow from the SLS, but it will take cues from the latest trends in Mercedes design . The grille, the vents, and the overall shape are similar of the SLS’s; the lower air intakes are shaped much like those fitted to the E63 AMG; and the LED light signature and character lines on the door panels share a familial resemblance to what’s been pioneered by the S-class. AMG will use a significant amount of high-strength steel and aluminum to reach the GT's target weight of around 3300 pounds. In an effort to increase efficiency, Mercedes will fit the GT with AMG’s new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, which will produce roughly 500 horsepower. It’s possible a detuned model could be offered as an entry-level option, and Mercedes giving the GT the Black Series treatment and 600 horses is more likely than not. The GT AMG will be fitted with a seven-speed automatic. Competing with the GT AMG wil be the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi R8, Jaguar F-type, Maserati GranTurismo, Porsche 911. The Mercedes-Benz GT AMG likely will bow next fall, arriving on showroom floors in 2015 as a 2016 model. Pricing will start at around $120,000.
