has now introduced a new entry-level variant of the AMG GT powered by the same four-cylinder engine as the SL.Positioned below the AMG GT 55, the new GT 43 not only drops four-cylinders, but the drive wheel count to two as power now goes to the rear wheels only.
As an option, buyers can still opt for the AMG Night Package or the AMG Chrome Package, although the AMG Carbon pack remains bespoke to the pair of V8s. Underneath, the specific changes involves the AMG Ride Control dampers being relegated to the options list along with the rear axle steering system, while Active Roll Stabilisation system falls away completely.
Opting for the Dynamic Plus Package sees the inclusion of the AMG locking rear differential, dynamic engine mounts, a carbon rear wing and yellow painted brake calipers. As for the brake themselves, the composite stoppers consist of a ventilated six-piston caliper setup at the front and single at the rear, with respective disc sizes of 390 mm and 360 mm.Inside, little has changed as the GT 43 inherits the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment system and the AMG Performance steering wheel from the V8 models.The Nappa leather AMG sports seats are, however, standard with the AMG Performance chairs being optional.
