While debate still
rages around the looks of the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door, one thing that cannot be
argued is the sedan’s performance. In range-topping GT 63 S guise,
Mercedes-AMG’s rival to the Porsche Panamera features a 4.0-liter
twin-turbocharged V8 that pumps out 630 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. This
powertrain allows the car to hit 96 km/h in a mere 3.1 seconds before
storming towards the 320 km/h mark.
Not a less
powerful and less aggressive-looking variant. The following aerodynamics pack
offered by Mercedes-AMG aims to solve the latter problem.
Offered on all GT
4-Door models, including the baby GT 43, mid-range GT 53, and the GT 63, the
package was first previewed by the expensive Edition 1 model. At the front, the
kit includes a bespoke splitter as well as distinctive air deflectors on the
sides of the bumper and in the gaping-wide air intakes. Spin around to the rear
and you’ll find a large fixed wing with a high-gloss finish. Mercedes-AMG has
also designed a new diffuser and fitted a different bumper.
Customers in
Germany can option the aero pack for 3,391 euros (US$ 3,860). The automaker has
yet to announce pricing for the kit in the United States, although it will
eventually become available there too, Mercedes-Benz Passion reports.
