Mercedes-AMG releases the next generation of its GT coupe for 2027, signaling a major refresh to its high-performance two-seater lineup. The new GT inherits AMG's twin-turbocharged engine technology while incorporating a hybrid powertrain option that pushes output beyond 700 horsepower across the range.
The 2027 GT coupe sits at the intersection of tradition and electrification. Mercedes positions this as the spiritual successor to the aging SLS AMG, delivering raw speed with modern efficiency standards. The base model runs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, while upper trims add hybrid assistance for greater torque delivery and acceleration.
Pricing starts in the high five figures, targeting collectors and performance enthusiasts willing to pay for exclusivity and hand-built engineering. The hybrid variants command a premium, reflecting their added complexity and performance gains. Mercedes estimates 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds for the top hybrid variant, undercutting rivals like the BMW M440i xDrive and Porsche 911 Carrera.
The exterior design sharpens AMG's signature aggressive stance with a lower roofline and wider track than before. LED lighting technology dominates the front and rear, while carbon-fiber accents reduce curb weight. Inside, a digital-first cabin mirrors the latest S-Class appointments, with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 11.9-inch central touchscreen standard.
Transmission options split between a traditional nine-speed automatic and a newer eight-speed dual-clutch unit on hybrid models. All-wheel drive becomes standard on premium trims, while rear-wheel drive remains available on base configurations for driver purists.
Safety systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking. Optional active suspension adjusts damping
