<\/p>\nthe next generation 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT coupe<\/strong> has appeared in a leaked image ahead of its formal unveiling due in the coming months.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\nAn image published social media platform on Instagram<\/em> by user @liucunyi_starandcar (via @cochespias1) shows Mercedes-AMG’s new GT \u2013 expected to be available only in coupe form \u2013 without camouflage, in what appears to be entry-level, four-cylinder trim.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\nIts styling borrows cues from the latest Mercedes-AMG SL roadster \u2013 the twin under the skin to the new GT \u2013 and retains the long-bonnet, short-tailgate proportions of the outgoing GT sold in Australia from 2014 to 2021.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n \n<\/p>\nIt’s expected the new GT will be powered by the same range of engines as the new SL \u2013 which would see familiar twin-turbocharged V8 power be joined by a turbo four-cylinder, and V8 plug-in hybrid power for the first time.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\nSpy photos indicate four-cylinder and V8 models may wear unique front fascias, with a larger front grille and lower air inlets on the V8 cars \u2013 plus larger alloy wheels, upgraded brakes, and a fixed rear spoiler on some models.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\nThe gray AMG GT seen in the leaked image appears to be a four-cylinder, based on the smaller front grille compared to V8 prototypes seen in spy photos \u2013 but it’s fitted with a black exterior trim package, and larger black wheels.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n \n<\/p>\nIf the related SL is any guide, expect the new GT to offer the choice of a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with mild-hybrid technology, a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, and the V8 combined with a plug-in hybrid system.<\/p>\n
