AMG GT 4-door Coupé
Introduced in 2018, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé was Mercedes-AMG’s first four-seat automobile developed entirely in-house. Its five-door body combines fastback styling, usable passenger space and a chassis tuned for high performance. The original phase of the model used a mix of electrified six-cylinder and twin-turbo V8 powertrains, with AMG 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive described across the launch documentation available for the U.S. market. GT 53, GT 63 and GT 63 S versions established the early range, followed by the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE, a plug-in hybrid pairing a V8 with a rear electric motor.

Model introduction
Introduced in 2018, the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé was Mercedes-AMG’s first four-seat automobile developed entirely in-house. Its five-door body combines fastback styling, usable passenger space and a chassis tuned for high performance. The original phase of the model used a mix of electrified six-cylinder and twin-turbo V8 powertrains, with AMG 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive described across the launch documentation available for the U.S. market. GT 53, GT 63 and GT 63 S versions established the early range, followed by the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE, a plug-in hybrid pairing a V8 with a rear electric motor. In 2026, Mercedes-AMG unveiled an all-new fully electric model based on the AMG.EA high-performance architecture. ScanRacer’s model context covers the 2018–2026 period.
History
The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on March 6, 2018, as a new interpretation of the high-performance grand tourer. Mercedes-AMG described it as its first four-seat automobile developed entirely in-house, positioned separately from both the two-seat AMG GT and Mercedes-Benz sedans modified by AMG. The design used a fastback body with four side doors and a liftback tailgate, while retaining a low driving position and a strongly driver-focused cabin. Mercedes-Benz’s 2019 U.S. brochure identified GT 53, GT 63 and GT 63 S versions. The GT 53 used an inline-six engine with electric assistance, while the GT 63 and GT 63 S used a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Launch equipment included AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, a nine-speed automatic transmission, adaptive suspension and an active rear spoiler. Exact equipment and powertrain availability varied by market and model year. A major development came with the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE, which paired the twin-turbo V8 with a rear-mounted electric motor and a high-performance battery. In May 2026, Mercedes-AMG introduced an entirely new electric car based on the AMG.EA architecture. That vehicle represents a technical break from the previous combustion-engine and plug-in-hybrid model rather than a minor facelift.
Generations
The model referenced from 2018 through 2025 represents the original major phase of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé. It is identified by a fastback sedan profile, an AMG grille with vertical slats, pronounced bodywork and a cabin configured for four occupants. Its architecture was derived from larger Mercedes-Benz sedans, but Mercedes-AMG extensively reworked the suspension, drivetrain and electronic controls to create a more sports-car-oriented driving character. This phase included six-cylinder versions, twin-turbo V8 models and, from the GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE onward, a plug-in-hybrid powertrain. The 2026 model year brings a clearly documented break with the past. Mercedes-AMG describes the new GT 4-Door Coupé as the first series-production vehicle based on its AMG.EA high-performance electric architecture. It replaces the previous combustion and plug-in-hybrid systems with axial-flux electric motors and a directly cooled high-performance battery. The overall concept remains a four-door performance fastback, but its identifying details change: six circular turbine-style rear lamps, a new lighting signature, more advanced active aerodynamics and a digital cabin with a 10.2-inch instrument display and 14.0-inch multimedia screen. Mercedes-AMG’s 2026 energy figures are preliminary and may differ from final certified values.
Key differences
The main differences concern the powertrain. GT 53, GT 63 and GT 63 S models from the original phase use combustion engines, with an electrified inline-six in the GT 53 and a twin-turbo V8 in the GT 63 models. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE adds a rear electric motor to its V8 and operates as a plug-in hybrid. The version unveiled in 2026 follows a completely different formula: it is fully electric and uses the AMG.EA architecture. The range hierarchy also reflects different priorities. The GT 53 is positioned as a more approachable balance of performance and everyday usability, while the GT 63 and GT 63 S emphasize V8 output. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE adds instant electric response and dedicated battery control strategies. Exact power ratings, transmissions and standard equipment can differ between countries and model years. A badge alone is therefore not a reliable way to identify a particular specification; market-specific brochures and vehicle documentation should be checked before assigning technical details.
Photo recognition
The original phase can be recognized by its long five-door fastback body, sloping roofline and liftback rear opening. The front end uses the AMG grille with vertical slats, usually combined with large air intakes and a bonnet featuring two pronounced power domes. Higher-performance versions often have larger wheels, trapezoidal or quad exhaust outlets and more visible aerodynamic trim, although some of these details were optional. The cabin provides additional clues. The center display is angled toward the driver, the seats are heavily bolstered and early cars share a visual atmosphere with other Mercedes-AMG products from the same period. A GT 53, GT 63, GT 63 S or GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE badge can help establish the version, but it does not by itself prove the model year. The car introduced in 2026 has a different visual identity. Six circular rear lamps, star-shaped daytime-running-light signatures, an AMG grille that can be illuminated and the lack of visible exhaust outlets are strong indicators. Final identification should still account for market-specific equipment, optional packages and the production year.
Important versions
The GT 53 served as the accessible performance version of the original phase, using an electrically assisted inline-six. GT 63 and GT 63 S models used the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and formed the core of the high-performance range. The GT 63 S occupied the top position among the combustion-powered versions, with more aggressive calibration and enhanced dynamic equipment depending on the market. The GT 63 S E PERFORMANCE added a rear electric motor and high-performance battery to the V8, creating a performance-focused plug-in hybrid. In 2026, Mercedes-AMG announced electric GT 55 and GT 63 versions for the new AMG.EA generation. Model names, outputs and availability may vary by country, so a market-specific brochure remains the most reliable reference.
