 2026 Mercedes AMG GT SUV
The new model is a vehicle developed entirely in-house by AMG, though it naturally still features some Mercedes components. But it's also possible the other way around. Because you can bet that Mercedes itself
will widely adopt axial-flow motor technology, which has so far been limited to the AMG GT Coupé.
However, please note: This engine configuration is only available in the GT 55 and 63. The GT 53, for which the listed price applies, has only two standard permanently excited motors instead of three. If the front one isn't
needed, it is uncoupled.
The numbers in the model designations are derived from the highest number. The number "63" has been associated with AMG almost since its founding; in fact, its first V8 had a displacement of 6.3 liters. Later, it was
retained, even though there was no longer a V8 with that displacement.
The V8 also makes an appearance in another place. You can actually turn on its simulated sound both inside and outside, and even insert unnecessary pauses using a shift paddle. If that's the only thing missing at home,
then you can continue there.
The suspension, too, is clearly a world apart from simply adjustable dampers. It allows you to determine the vehicle's height and the stiffness of the suspension. It is questionable whether the three-stage system
mentioned by AMG is the only factor the driver can influence.
But maybe there's another menu where you can adjust both settings separately, for example, to have a more comfortable ride even with the car's body lowered. It would be a shame if the enormous It would be a shame if
the enormous potential of such a facility were to go partially to waste.
Of course, this suspension does a lot right on its own. If the vehicle tends to pitch over bumps, the suspension counteracts this movement, and the stabilizer bars are completely replaced by a corresponding rapid and
precise increase in pressure.
The second and third rotary dials control the traction control system, which, it appears, only takes effect if you explicitly switch off the ESP (though hopefully that doesn’t disable all functions). The third control is probably
intended more for the racetrack.
