Mercedes-Benz has revealed the hybrid-powered Mercedes-AMG GT Concept show car at this year’s Geneva motor show.
The four-door sports vehicle gives a sneak preview of the exterior design of the coming series production model that is expected to launch sometime in 2019.
After the Formula 1 racing car, the design study now becomes the second AMG model to bear the new designation “EQ Power+”, which all performance hybrids from Mercedes-AMG will be given in the future.
The hybrid system combines AMG’s 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with an electric motor to deliver a claimed power output of over 800 bhp, while 0-62 mph is said to take less than three seconds.
The fully variable AMG performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive is also supported by the electric motor. It drives the rear wheels directly and has the effect of an additional booster.
“With the Mercedes-AMG GT Concept we are giving a preview of our third completely autonomously developed sports car. And extending the attractive AMG GT family to include a four-door variant,” says Mercedes-AMG boss, Tobias Moers.
“The GT Concept embodies the most extreme expression of our design idiom and underlines anew the autonomous profile of AMG as a performance brand,” adds company design chief, Gorden Wagener.
