Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, has hosted a private viewing for the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe for valued customers in Qatar before launching it in the market.
The special event took place at the Mercedes-Benz showroom on Salwa Road and was attended by Sheikh Nawaf bin Nasser al-Thani, chairman of Nasser Bin Khaled Group; Sheikh Faleh bin Nawaf al-Thani, Operations director — Auto; Ihab El Feky, chief operations officer – Auto at NBK Group, VIPs and special guests.
Sheikh Faleh said, “The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe embodies the innovation and creativity of the brand. It is the ultimate four-door sports car and the ideal ambassador for ‘Performance Luxury’ that is taking this category into new dimensions. We are happy to introduce it to our valued customer at a private viewing event to be the first who experience it in Qatar.”
El Feky added, “We would like to welcome our distinguished guests at the Mercedes-Benz showroom to have the first look at the new, amazing 4-door coupe, which will be a prominent landmark for the years to come. Sporty, luxurious and spacious, this is what many drivers were looking for, and the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is the perfect fit.”
“The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door model “delivers driving experiences in new dimensions and extends the AMG model family”, NBK Automobiles has said in a press statement.
The new coupe is the first four-door sports car from Affalterbach and draws directly on the legendary SLS and AMG GT models of success.
“As another vehicle developed autonomously by Mercedes-AMG, it combines unique design, high comfort and outstanding sports car engineering with an athletic, four-door fastback layout. It, thus, offers more space and more potential uses,” the statement noted.
Clearly recognisable as a member of the AMG GT family, the new AMG GT 4-Door Coupe follows the design philosophy of ‘Sensual Purity’. It takes the striking proportions with convex surfaces and a muscular body and develops them to exciting effect for a four-door variant of an AMG GT Coupe. The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine is already used in numerous AMG models.
Its output has been enhanced yet further for the new Mercedes AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+ (fuel consumption combined 11.2 l/100km, CO2 emissions combined 257g/km) and ensures superior performance on a par with a sports car. It delivers 470kW (639hp) and a maximum torque of 900Nm, which is available over a wide engine speed range from 2,500-4,500rpm.
The top engine of the new four-door AMG GT thus exudes effortless superiority in every engine speed range.
Acceleration from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds clearly illustrates this, as does the maximum speed of 315km/h.
In the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4MATIC+ (fuel consumption combined 11.0 l/100km, CO2 emissions combined 252-256g/km) the V8 unit provides 430kW (585hp) and 800Nm maximum torque.The sprint from standstill to 100km/h lasts just 3.4 seconds, and the top speed is 310km/h.
The AMG 4.0-litre V8 engine works with the proven biturbocharging, where the two exhaust-gas turbochargers are arranged not on the exterior, but between the cylinder banks.
Also, the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G 9-speed transmission is specially tuned to the requirements of the eight-cylinder variants of the new four-door AMG GT.
