Don’t look now. OK, just kidding, of course you can look. There’s a new super-fast four-door coupe on the block, and anyone who loves ridiculous sports cars with the option for occasional rear legroom should rejoice because this one’s a doozy.
Meet the Mercedes-AMG GT four-door, the first sedan offering from the haus of high-performance Mercedes-Benz that brought you the delightfully devious two-door Mercedes-AMG GT. That original coupe exists in four increasingly insane variants, topped off by the track-punishing 577 horsepower GT R. And lest you think that an extra couple of doors somehow suggests a tamer GT, think again.
The current range-topping GT 63 S four-door puts out a dastardly 630 horsepower and 664 foot-pound of torque. The milder GT 63 delivers 577 horsepower and 590 foot-pound of torque from a slightly less aggressive version of the same 4.0-liter V-8. The baby of the bunch, the GT 53, uses a smaller 3.0-liter inline-six – along with a turbocharger, supercharger and two-part electrical system – to make 429 horsepower and 384 foot-pound of torque.
Hey, at least you have options! And they are all absurdly fast: Each of the variants can reportedly sprint from standstill to 60 mph is less than 3.5 seconds.
Speaking of options, AMG’s over-engineering is on full display in the new four-door coupe. A confounding number of drive permutations are available through the four AMG Dynamics settings – Basic, Advanced, Pro and Master – and the six Dynamic Select driving modes – Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Race, Individual and Slippery. (That last one is essentially a drift mode.) It’s a very involved and involving system for those who wish to undertake the learning curve. Otherwise, you can probably just get in, mash the throttle and be just fine.
Structurally, the Mercedes-AMG GT four-door coupe is based on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan. Visually, AMG’s new four-door race car resembles the original fastback four-door coupe, the Mercedes-Benz CLS, but with a more muscular look and rounded rear end. Inside, the GT offers a range of combinations of leathers, microsuedes, carbon fiber and wood, allowing for vibes that skew either more sporty or more luxurious.
The Mercedes-AMG GT four-door coupe will arrive in dealerships before the summer at a starting price of $136,500. The only knock against it could be that it tries to do too much: Comfy freeway cruiser during the week, hardcore track star on weekends and coupe-like styling with four-door accessibility. However, in doing so, it will take on a worthy adversary: the Porsche Panamera sedan, which has been the reigning champion in the super-fast four-door sports car department. Best to buckle up for the fast and furious battle when these two Teutonic titans square off.
