The first-generation Mercedes AMG GT Coupe is a two-seat sports car with a long hood and a compact cabin. You sit low, with the engine ahead and the driven wheels behind, in a layout meant to feel sharp.
Every Mercedes AMG GT engine in this generation is gasoline, typically a twin-turbo V8 feeding a rear transaxle. That powertrain keeps mass over the driven wheels and makes the Coupe feel planted. The dual-clutch transmission keeps the drivetrain sharp when you ask for a shift.
