The AMG GT 43 does the 0-100 kmph stint in 4.6 seconds.
Visually, the GT 43 distinguishes itself from its V8-powered counterparts through a subtle yet revamped exterior design. Notable changes include a redesigned front bumper with larger air inlets, narrower front and rear fenders, and a cleaner rear bumper. Moreover, various customisation options are offered by the brand, including wheel sizes up to 21 inches, a fixed rear wing, packages featuring high-gloss chrome or black accents, and more.

On the inside, the GT 43 gets an all-black treatment and features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch touchscreen for the MBUX infotainment system.

It houses a 2.0-litre engine making 415 bhp and 500 Nm
Under the hood, the GT 43 houses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with AMG's F1-inspired electric exhaust gas turbocharger and a 48V mild-hybrid system with a belt-driven generator. This powerplant belts out 415 bhp and 500 Nm of torque, delivered through a nine-speed multi-clutch gearbox to the rear wheels. Additionally, Mercedes claims a short-term power boost of 10 kW (14 hp) from the belt-driven starter generator.
Mercedes claims the least powerful version of the GT achieves 0-100 kmph acceleration in 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 280 kmph. While specific curb weight details remain undisclosed, eliminating four cylinders and the AWD layout likely contribute to a substantially lower weight.
