Mid-2016 it's a Mercedes-AMG begged Lewis Hamilton, to promote the launch of the GT R model, and now the seven-time Formula 1 winner is back to present the second generation of the model. It is still equipped with a V8 engine and is a 38-year-old British driver a rival to the Porsche 911 iz Affalterbach described as a beautiful car. It has the first-generation model, but claims the successor is better for everyday use, having gained a pair of extra seats.
Yes, the new GT is a four-seater. Technically it is 2 + 2, just like its competitor from Zuffenhausen. If you're interested, we can say that people up to 1,5 meters tall sit in the back. Mercedes-AMG stated in a press release published last week that the two extra seats will be optional equipment, so those who don't need additional practicalities, you can still get the car strictly as a two-seater.
Speaking of front seats, the video shows the new model GT with optional seats AMG Performance, which fit the body better, as they offer greater lateral support, and the backrests have openings for ventilation. If you switch to driving mode Sports, Sports+ ali RACE, the side backrests are automatically narrowed.
We never thought the day would come when it would AMG praised that after folding the rear seats, the coupe has a trunk function for transporting longer and more spacious cargo. Later in the video, the product manager Matthias schmidt it even says it has a new model "huge space", which can be accessed via an electrically operated rear door.
Z the second generation AMG changes the nomenclature and drops the letters (C, S, R) from the model name. In the future, the numbers of the German sports car will be coordinated with its relative roadster - the SL model. Initially, only the 55 and 63 will be available, but it will be common to both 4,0-liter V8 with two turbines.
If the three-pointed star plans to give the GT Coupe the four-cylinder engine from the SL model, that model will also be available 43 with a 2,0 liter engine. At the other end of the hierarchy, a plug-in hybrid with a designation is planned And Performance.
