Performance roots that run deep
When Mercedes-AMG launched the AMG GT back in 2015, it wasn’t just introducing a new grand tourer—it was redefining sports cars altogether. Following in the footsteps of the wild SLS AMG, the GT wasn’t meant to replace it outright but to offer something slightly more usable, more refined, and more focused on everyday performance.

The “S” variant, like this 2016 model with just 19,380 original miles on the odometer, took things up a notch with a higher-output V8, more aggressive tuning, and extra chassis tech to help keep that power planted. This exact example blends AMG’s signature performance with surprisingly low miles and a spec sheet that ticks all the right boxes.

Show-stopping exterior in Mars Red
This example wears Mars Red, a color that’s impossible to ignore and exactly the kind of bold statement this coupe deserves. It sits on staggered AMG twin 5-spoke wheels—19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear—finished in titanium. Red brake calipers peek out behind them, hinting at the serious stopping power beneath. The panoramic glass roof softens the roofline just enough, while AMG’s silver chrome exterior accents complete the look with just the right amount of flash. No badges are needed to tell you this is a high-performance machine—it speaks for itself.

Track-ready cabin, daily-driver comfort
It’s all business inside, but not without that signature Mercedes flair. You’ll find black Nappa Exclusive leather throughout, accented with ambient lighting and trimmed with AMG’s silver chrome finish. The Exclusive Interior Package also adds a Dinamica suede roof liner and upgraded appointments throughout.

Tech and convenience come in the form of the Memory Package, Mirror Package, and Keyless Go system. The heated performance seats keep you both supported and comfortable, and the AMG steering wheel is exactly where it feels most natural to place your hands. A Burmester 3D surround sound system fills in the audio experience.

V8 thunder with AMG tuning
The hand-built 4.0L BiTurbo V8 sends 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a 7-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission. You’ll also get switchable exhaust modes for either subtle starts or full-on AMG bark at the press of a button. The adaptive AMG Ride Control suspension and dynamic drive modes let you tailor the car to your mood—comfort for the commute, sport+ for the weekend blast. Zero to sixty happens in about 3.7 seconds, which is still fast enough to embarrass most modern sports cars.
