These latest spy shots give us our first look at the refreshed Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door and we can already see the new car will receive a redesigned exterior alongside expected technology updates.
You might question why Mercedes is updating the GT 4-Door so soon after it gave the model a facelift in 2021. Well, that facelift two years ago was limited to the six-cylinder 53 and 43 variants of the AMG GT 4-door, whereas this round of updates is expected to be restricted to the more potent 63-badged models.
The most powerful car Mercedes-AMG has ever made, the GT 4-Door 63 S E Performance looks like the test bed for the prototype in our spy pictures. At the front there’s a larger lower air intake with a more protruding lower splitter, plus a redesigned grille.
The rear features two single-exit exhaust pipes (expect a quad set-up for the production car) and a charging flap on the rear bumper – indicating the E Performance’s plug-in hybrid system. On this car we can see a fixed wing, although the outgoing car offered an active aero spoiler as well.
The range-topping 63 S E Performance’s 831bhp and 1,400Nm of torque are still sensational numbers, but AMG typically likes to add more power for notable updates like these so we could see the 4.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 and rear-mounted electric motor tuned further. Mercedes-AMG tweaked the adaptive air suspension of the lower-rung 43 and 53 versions during their 2021 update so don’t think the 63 model’s suspension will go unchanged.
The interior of the GT 4-Door has been a little left behind by the likes of the EQS and new S-Class with their latest MBUX infotainment systems and gigantic Hyperscreen options, but it’s unlikely we’re going to see drastic interior changes with this update. Instead, the brace of dash-mounted 12.3-inch screens should be retained – although with an infotainment software refresh.
