A new entry-level version of the Mercedes-AMG GT has arrived.
The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT43 was unleashed on Tuesday with a few surprises. At the top of the list, the MCT 9G transmission of this entry-level sports coupe now turns just the rear wheels. The gearbox is paired with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 416 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, with a 48-volt hybrid setup operating the turbos. In concert, the sleek GT43's powerplant can zoom from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, Mercedes says.
Opting for the four-cylinder over a V-8 certainly helped the car shed mass, as well, which will contribute to sharper handling with rear-wheel drive. The German brand gave the GT43 improved aerodynamics, aided by an active air control system with hidden louvers that manage airflow. A retractable rear spoiler also contributes to the flow, controlled by software that calculates the impact of vehicle speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, and steering speed and reacts accordingly.
