Mercedes-AMG has recently revealed the 2024 GT 43 and the GT 53 models for international markets. The coupe versions of the Mercedes-AMG models get (tech and) feature updates and sport a redesigned styling that looks identical to the V8-powered models. However, the four-door coupes continue to use a 3.0-litre, turbocharged, inline-six-cylinder engine and come equipped with 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system providing enhanced vehicle stability and reducing accident risks. A few weeks ago, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance was introduced in the Indian market as the company's first plug-in hybrid AMG. Based on the standard GT 63 S 4-door coupe, the 63 S E Performance carries a price tag of Rs 3.30 crore (ex-showroom). The fastback can sprint from a standstill to 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 316km/h. It also receives 4Matic+ all-wheel-drive system that provides fully variable torque distribution.
