Launched in October 2014, the Mercedes-AMG GT is historically significant as only the second sports car developed entirely by Affalterbach-based AMG, the first being the SLS AMG. Styled in house, the Mercedes-AMG GT restated the traditional 'long bonnet, small cabin, short tail' sports car look in a manner suggesting muscular horsepower while retaining all the elegance associated with Mercedes-Benz. Although it used conventional doors, the GT featured numerous styling references to its illustrious distant ancestor - the 300 SL 'Gullwing' - and was an instant hit with the public.
Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminium construction, the GT is powered by a hand-built M178 4.0-litre V8 engine. Positioned well back in the wheelbase for optimum weight distribution, this mighty power plant produces 469bhp in the GT with 515 horsepower available in the GT S, as seen here, while the transmission consists of a seven-speed dual-clutch rear transaxle. Other key mechanical differences the GT S gains over the GT include an electronically controlled limited-slip differential; 'Race Mode' and 'Race Start' settings in the AMG Dynamic Select adaptive drive-train; AMG Ride Control adaptive suspension; and an AMG Performance Exhaust System.
Finished in Fire Opal with Designo Black/Classic Red leather interior, this highly desirable GT S was built to Swiss market specification and delivered new to the current owner via the official Mercedes-Benz distributor in the Middle East. A copy of the sales invoice is on file and the car also comes with a breakdown of its outstanding and unique specification listing no fewer than 46 special items!
The AMG GT S Coupe has been on static display for a number of years and as such will require recommissioning prior to road use. Please also note this Lot is subject to UK import tax if it is to remain in the UK.
