Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 Parts

Following the debut of the second-generation AMG GT at Pebble Beach on August 19, 2023, and production commencing the next month, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 became part of a new coupe line using the same platform as the new SL roadster. The 2+2 cabin is made possible by its longer body, which also makes the car a broader role than the previous, smaller AMG GT, but still in the performance-coupe range of AMG. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 also carries on the dependence of the nameplate on the 4.0-liter V8. Previous AMG GT development involved direct injection, low-friction cylinder-wall coating, lightweight internal components and turbochargers that were fitted within the engine block to enhance response, packaging and efficiency. The 4.0-liter V8 in the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 has 469 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque with 32 valves, two overhead cams, variable valve timing, and direct injection that helps it to have high output and control combustion. A corresponding change of character is seen in the driveline. Instead of the previous 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle system, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 has a 9-speed shiftable automatic transmission with conventional all-wheel drive, with center and rear limited-slip differentials to provide traction. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 55 is anchored to the handling emphasis of the AMG GT line by four-wheel independent suspension and wide performance tires, and its four-seat interior and usable cargo room render it not as narrowly focused as the original coupe.
