2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe: Stylish 2+2 Seater Offers More Power & Better Practicality

The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe is the second-gen variant of the German auto giant’s weapon of choice against the all-conquering Porsche 911. It now rides on similar underpinnings as the Mercedes-AMG SL roadster, is about seven inches longer, 1.6 inches wider, and has a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase than the outgoing GT coupe.

The growth spurt has given way to an available 2+2 seating configuration, a somewhat roomy trunk (that Mercedes said could swallow up to two golf bags), rear-wheel steering, and a standard all-wheel drivetrain, hallmarking the elements of a grand tourer despite the AMG GT being an all-out sports car.

“The new AMG GT Coupe combines highly dynamic driving characteristics and distinctive sportiness with a high level of everyday comfort,” said Michael Schiebe, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. “With the new dimensional concept and optional 2+2 seats, we are directly responding to the wishes of our customers.”

2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe: What’s New?

Not only is the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe a bigger sports car than before, it’s also more stylish and easier on the eyes. Despite its growth spurt, the longer wheelbase, short overhangs, and rakish roof blend fabulously with its flowing body panels, bulging wheel arches, digital LED headlights, and distinctive 20-inch AMG wheels that are “almost flush to the body,” said Mercedes-AMG.

Meanwhile, there are active two-piece louvers in the front with an active rear spoiler to improve aerodynamics. And when Mercedes-AMG says “dimensional concept,” it refers to the available 2+2 interior and an “easy pack” trunk that delivers hands-free access for maximum convenience.

It all sounds like the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe has lost its hardcore soul in the name of everyday practicality, but change is good in the sports car market, where evolving consumer trends point to having more of everything in exchange for cold, hard cash.
