About This Car
Front-engine V8 muscle, forged for menace — 577 horsepower and a chassis coiled tight around one job: put it down clean
AMG built its reputation on a single rule: one engineer, one engine, a name plate riveted to the cam cover. The GT S doesn't bend that rule — it hardens it.
Engine & Performance
The 4.0-litre V8 biturbo sits low and set back behind the front axle, a layout AMG calls front-mid-engine, built to load the nose with intent. 577 horsepower gets forged from two turbos packed into the vee, torque arriving early and staying flat, the kind of pull that feels mechanical rather than electric. Two seats, a transmission tunnel like a spine, and a seven-speed automatic that snaps through gears with a clenched fist.
The long hood and short tail aren't styling flourish — they're physical proof of where the weight lives. Point the GT S into a corner and the chassis stays planted, rear-biased, coiled against the road instead of skating over it. The exhaust note sits low, a growl built from displacement and boost rather than a shriek chasing redline.
This is AMG at its most literal: a big front engine, a short cabin, a shape built entirely around the discipline of putting power down clean. Every panel serves the drivetrain. Every line answers to the V8 up front. Nothing about it apologizes for its size, its weight, or its brutality — it was forged to carry all three.
