2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 43 Coupe
Mercedes-AMG is expanding the portfolio of the new AMG GT Coupe with the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GT 43. The lightweight, Handcrafted AMG 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in conjunction with rear-wheel drive offers a highly dynamic driving experience and agile handling.
The hand-built M139 AMG 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 416 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque to enable acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. It features electric exhaust gas turbocharger technology derived from Formula 1™ for spontaneous throttle response across the entire rpm range. The turbocharger is operated via the 48-volt on-board electrical system, which also feeds the belt-driven starter generator (RSG). The second generation RSG also functions as a mild hybrid in the 48-volt on-board electrical system, which, in addition to providing support at lower engine speeds, also enables functions such as gliding and recuperation for even greater efficiency. The 48-volt technology also increases comfort, as the transitions between start-stop and gliding functions are almost imperceptible.
The operating principle of the electric exhaust gas turbocharger is based on the same technology that is also used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team. A 1.6-inch-wide electric motor is integrated directly on the shaft of the turbocharger between the turbine wheel on the exhaust side and the compressor wheel on the intake side. Electronically controlled, this directly drives the shaft of the turbocharger and thus accelerates the compressor wheel before the exhaust gas flow takes over in a conventional manner.
This significantly improves immediate throttle response from idle speed and across the entire rpm range. The combustion engine reacts even more spontaneously to accelerator pedal input, while the overall driving experience is more dynamic. In addition, the electrification of the turbocharger enables higher torque at low rpms. This also increases agility and optimizes acceleration from a standstill. Even when the driver takes their foot off the accelerator or applies the brakes, the innovative technology maintains boost pressure at all times to ensure a continuously direct response.
The lightweight coil springs feature a special tempering for a lower weight without reducing performance. During the manufacturing process, the spring pad is glued to the spring. This solid connection prevents wear and tear caused by dirt and debris over the course of the vehicle’s life. The spring does not corrode over its lifecycle and the maximum component load can be increased with less weight. This saves approximately 0.4 lb per spring.
Another lightweight construction measure concerns the torsion bar stabilizers on the front and rear axles of the AMG GT 43. The variable wall thickness allows for further weight reduction. The maximum wall thickness is only used where required due to the maximum load – in this case in the area of the rubber mounts.
The latest generation of AMG RIDE CONTROL adaptive adjustable damping is available as an option for the AMG GT 43. The suspension control unit uses data analysis, including acceleration and wheel travel sensors, to adjust the damping force for each wheel to suit the situation in just a few milliseconds. The driver can preselect the basic setup via the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs: at the touch of a button, the handling characteristics change, for example, from full dynamics in “Sport+” to smooth cruising in the “Comfort” setting. In addition, tuning can be adjusted in three stages independently of the drive program via a dedicated button.
The exterior design of the AMG GT 43 features a number of unique details that differentiate it from the rest of the AMG GT model series. Particularly striking is the newly designed front fascia with large air inlets across the entire width of the vehicle. Narrower front and rear fenders and the reduced track width emphasize the vehicle’s elegant character. The front fenders also feature a new trim element. The rear fascia is also unique to the AMG GT 43 with round double tailpipe trim accents.
The defining features of the AMG GT body design include the long wheelbase, short overhangs, long hood and steeply raked rear windshield give the coupe its powerful, dynamic appearance – together with the wheels that are flush with the body. 19-inch AMG alloy wheels are fitted standard. Optional 19 and 20-inch wheels are also available, in addition to 21-inch forged wheels.
The large EASY PACK trunk lid with HANDSFREE ACCESS makes loading and unloading easier. The standard 2+2 seating offers increased versatility for everyday use with foldable rear seat backrests for expanded cargo space.

The interior of the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 also features an exciting combination of analog geometry and digital technology. The designers call this “hyper-analog.” This is exemplified by the fully digital instrument cluster, which is integrated into a three-dimensional visor. The interior design focuses on the driver.
The center console flows into the lower section of the instrument panel. The functional and visual focal point is the 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen. The portrait format provides numerous advantages, especially for navigation, as well as more ergonomic freedom.
The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system is intuitive to use and capable of learning. It offers extensive AMG-specific content in five display styles. Exclusive menu items such as “AMG Performance” or “AMG TRACK PACE” underline the sporty character.
The AMG GT 43 is equipped as standard with AMG sports seats in Nappa leather. The same applies to the optional AMG performance seats with integrated headrests and increased lateral support.
Interior trim elements are available in high-gloss black, aluminum, AMG carbon fiber, as well as dark chrome. There are also two trim accents available in grey open-pore birch wood and brown open-pore ash ship deck wood with aluminum lines. The AMG performance steering wheel with standard heated rim is available in Nappa leather, Nappa leather/microfiber or carbon design/microfiber.
