We’ve spotted the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT testing at the Nurburgring ahead of its reveal later this year -
The prototype clearly displays these new attributes, with a shorter bonnet in relation to the size of the cabin, and more compact overall dimensions. At this stage, it's unknown whether the GT will retain the current car's dry-sumped M178 V8, however things aren't looking good for it as the new SL Roadster has already confirmed the usage of the wet-sump M177.
The question of how far AMG will take the next GT remains more of a mystery, as the top-spec GT will likely include the E Performance hybrid system that will increase power, but also weight. Therefore, any notion of a-replacing model that will have an increased focus on direct handling and light weight will likely have to take a different path, leaving the door open to all sorts of interesting derivatives.
Mercedes-AMG has not confirmed when the GT will be revealed, but with the SL’s launch phase now complete, and the two likely sharing much of their underlying elements, it could be ready to go sooner than we may think. Watch this space.
