Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe Revealed, In Australia From June

What a time for unveilings. Last week it was Land Rover’s new Discovery Sport and Mazda’s new MX-5 roadster.

This week it’s the Jaguar XE, the BMW 2 Series Convertible and, today, the new Mercedes-AMG GT coupe.

Teased almost to the point of exasperation over the past year, the AMG GT has finally appeared, making its official debut this week ahead of a world premiere at the Paris Motor Show next month.

As a successor to the already iconic SLS AMG, the GT is something of a reboot, a reimagining of purpose; a more conventionally styled yet patently more capable hero car.

A good deal of the Mercedes-AMG GT’s intent and specification has been revealed before today: it’s the company’s new 911 fighter, with power provided by a new 4.0 litre turbocharged ‘M178’ V8.

Today of course reveals a first official look at the new coupe, although spy photos and teasers in recent months have delivered a clear idea of what we could expect.
