The new Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupé: F1 technology

There is a never-ending debate among fast car enthusiasts: Does a bigger engine always mean more power? At a time when the automotive industry is moving towards more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions, technological progress has shown that bigger is not always better. Take for example the four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engines that exceed the magical 400 horsepower mark. Yes, you heard that right.

At the forefront of this revolution is Mercedes-AMG with its M 139 engine, which is considered the most powerful series-produced four-cylinder engine in the world. Fitted to models like the A45, CLA45 and GLA45, this technological marvel produces an impressive 416 horsepower (310 kW) and 369 lb-ft of torque. The engine with direct injection and variable geometry turbocharger represents the pinnacle of engineering knowledge, where every square centimeter of space contributes to increasing efficiency and performance.

This phenomenon is not limited to Mercedes-AMG. Other manufacturers, such as Audi and Volvo, are also taking advantage of advanced technologies to squeeze incredible performance out of their 2.0-liter units, although they may not reach quite the same magic number. But the bottom line remains: in the hands of experienced engineers, even the tiniest of engines can be transformed into pure power-driven beasts.

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupé is powered by an AMG 2.0-liter turbo engine with a power of 310 kW (421 hp), which, together with a light four-cylinder engine on the front axle and a clean rear drive, ensures agility and dynamism that will stretch your smile from ear to ear . With an extremely spontaneous response, thanks to an electric exhaust turbocharger borrowed from Formula 1™, this model promises a ride that cannot be compared to anything else.

“Our AMG GT family is at the top of our range and embodies the spirit of our brand: Performance Driving. We are therefore delighted that this family is now being expanded with the GT 43. It is clearly recognizable as a GT, but clearly different from the other models,” says Michael Schiebe, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

At a time when the automotive industry is facing the challenges of down-sizing and optimization due to legislation, the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupé proves that even smaller and lighter engines combined with rear-wheel drive can offer a truly interesting and engaging drive. It's not just about adapting to the rules of the game, it's about discovering new ways to enjoy driving.

Performance is uncompromising: 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds with a top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). It's not just a number, it's the promise of a heart rate that quickens with every step on the gas.

Visually, the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 differs from its brothers in the AMG family with elegant exterior design differences that emphasize its unique character. From the front grille to the exhaust system, every element is designed with aerodynamics and aesthetics in mind. But these are pure little things.

The vehicle is equipped with the latest technological innovations, such as the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission and active aerodynamics, which together ensure a dynamic and efficient drive.

The Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupé is more than just a car. It is an expression of passion for driving, combining elegance with performance, and a reaffirmation that true driving pleasures are still accessible to those who value purity and innovation. And while the world around us is changing, the love for high-end cars remains eternal. The price? Still a mystery, but real pleasures are always worth the price.
