“It’s everything, everyone is on the edge of their seats; it’s a serious race of technology, and between the drivers it is about the small percentages that makes the difference – consistency is everything,” said Lewis Hamilton when asked for his thoughts on this weekend’s race and season so far.

Powered by a high-performance AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, this mid-size performance Sports Utility Vehicle looks to redefine the segment with superior power delivery, high precision and agility.

Its sporty design language is made prominent with exclusive AMG front apron in jet-wing design and Panamericana Grille – identifying itself as one of the brand’s racing thoroughbreds.

Mercedes-Benz also exhibits itself as a world-renowned brand in the racing industry since the period of the supercharged car from 1922 onwards, and not forgetting the Silver Arrow era.

Beefy Goodness For The Entire Family - Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe Launched in Singapore
A true-blue sports car which you can take around the race track… after dropping the kids off. That is what they said as they pulled the covers off the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, and they couldn’t be more correct. But while the 4-Door may carry the GT badge, it actually shares a lot in common with the E-Class and CLS, utilising the same underpinnings. It is not a light car, with the more “basic” six-cylinder 53 4-MATIC already weighing in at 2,045kg. The base car utilises the all-new M256 six-cylinder straight engine, with gearshifts done by an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-G transmission, which drives all four wheels. Like the CLS 53, the GT is a mild hybrid, which utilises an integrated EQ Boost starter-alternator which is sited between the engine and the transmission. The engine itself delivers 435hp and 520Nm from between 1,800 to 5,800rpm. The starter-alternator provides assistance of up to 22hp more power and 250Nm of additional torque. Maximum torque is rated at 530Nm, and is available from between 1,800 to 5,800rpm. The AMG GT 53 takes 4.5 seconds to hit 100km/h and is able to achieve a top speed of 285 km/h.
