Overview
- Mercedes‑AMG has added the GT 53 4‑Door Coupé as an entry‑level, dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive variant that reduces the GT line’s motor count from three to two while keeping AMG systems and design.
- The manufacturer rates the GT 53 at 544 PS peak and 800 Nm with a 367 PS continuous rating and a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds and top speeds of 230 km/h or 250 km/h with the optional AMG Driver’s Package.
- The car uses the same 106 kWh net battery and an 800‑volt electrical architecture as its siblings and Mercedes‑AMG claims a WLTP range of about 809–810 km plus up to 600 kW peak DC charging that can add roughly 534 km in 10 minutes under ideal conditions.
- Mercedes‑AMG retains brand features in the GT 53 including a simulated straight‑six engine soundtrack, AMG Ride Control air suspension, active aerodynamics and the high‑tech interior screens, and the company says customer deliveries in continental Europe start this month from €115,430 with right‑hand‑drive markets to follow later in the year.
- The GT 53 deliberately trades peak straight‑line pace for efficiency and lower price, a move that broadens AMG’s electrified lineup but leaves real‑world range and charging performance dependent on driving conditions and the availability of very high‑power public chargers.
