The GT, which has grown to enable 2+2 seating, also arrives in GT 55 and GT 63 grades, both powered by AMG's familiar twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8. The engine delivers 469 hp in the GT 55 and 577 hp in the GT 63. A 9-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive complete the drivetrain package for both grades.Despite the loss of four cylinders, the GT 43 is no slouch. It will sprint from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and top out at a governed 174 mph.
An electric motor powered by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and measuring just 1.6 inches wide is integrated directly with the turbocharger, sitting between the turbine wheel on the exhaust side and the compressor wheel on the intake side. It spools up the compressor at low revs, before the exhaust gases take over, reducing turbo lag and as a result making the engine more responsive.
The GT 43 also skips the all-wheel-drive system of other GT variants, meaning drive goes to the rear wheels only. The smaller engine and missing all-wheel-drive system should save considerable weight compared to the other GT variants, though no curb weight has been revealed.The GT 43 also misses out on the AMG Ride Control suspension with adjustable damping as standard, though it's on the options list. The Race mode of the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive mode selector is also missing here.

There are also different wheel patterns for the GT 43, with the standard set measuring 19 inches in diameter.of the GT 55 is likely. As a guide, the SL 43 is priced from $111,050 compare to $142,450 for the SL 55. All figures include a $1,150 destination charge.
