In coupe and convertible forms, the Mercedes-AMG range are positioned as the premium versions of premium cars. Pricing reflects this too. The Mercedes-AMG GT S Coup\u00e9 starts the range at $311,142 (MRLP, Manufacturers Recommended List price), with the Mercedes-AMG GT C Coup\u00e9 at $329,843, Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster $355,242, and Mercedes-AMG GT R Coup\u00e9 $361,042.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mercedes-AMG-coupe.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10009\" \/>Power is supplied via a 4.0L V8, complete with a pair of turbos, with the GT S delivering 384kW. The GT C and GT R respectively have 410kW and 430kW. Torque runs at 670Nm, 680Nm, and 700Nm, between 1,900rpm (GT S)\/2,200rpm to 5,500rpm. Economy is quoted as 9.5L\/100km for the GT S, 11.5L\/100km and 11.4L\/100km for the GT C and GT R respectively. Top speeds max out at 310kmm to 318kmh.<\/p>\n<p>Equipment has been given a wave of the magic wand. Drivers will enjoy a new centre console that has AMG Drive Unit controls placed in a stylised V8 arrangement plus there are display buttons to select the drive programs and control dynamic functions. A bespoke AMG Performance steering wheel now has a rotary controller for quick switching between drive modes, and an additional controller allows the driver to nominate two performance shortcuts. These can be toggled during performance driving without a need for the driver to take their eyes off what lies ahead.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mercedes-AMG-engine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10006\" \/>The driver faces a fully customisable digital instrument cluster of 12.3 inches in size. There is a 10.25 inch media display, with the leading smartphone apps. Vision is improved up front courtesy of a camera and Traffic Sign Assist pairs with it. Illumination is courtesy of new LED headlights, whilst updated alloy wheels and paint colours add to the on-road presence. The addition of the MercedesMe Connect system allows the driver to control key functions plus view relevant vehicle data and service information via a linked smartphone.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mercedes-AMG-dash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10008\" \/>Comfort and luxury are standard, with powered and heated Nappa leather seats sat underneath a sunroof. The tiller is clad in Nappa and microfibre, whilst sounds come from a 640W Burrmester system. Drive safety is in the form of the Distronic cruise control whilst sporting drivers can track progress via the AMG Track Pace system. This leads to a drivetrain underpinned by AMG&#8217;s Ride Control Suspension and electronic limited slip diff, and AMG&#8217;s high-performance composite braking system inside 19 and 20 inch alloys. A retractable aerofoil sits over a hands-free operating system for the boot in the GT S. The GT R coupe has a carbon fibre roof and a static aerofoil. The GT C Roadster goes for a fabric soft-top roof and keeps occupants warm with the bespoke Airscarf system.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.privatefleet.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Mercedes-AMG-soft-top.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10007\" \/><br \/>\nThe vehicles should be in dealerships in the next few weeks. <a href=\"http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/online-zaym-na-kartu-payps.html\" style=\"visibility: hidden;\">http:\/\/credit-n.ru\/offers-zaim\/online-zaym-na-kartu-payps.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updates have been given to the premium range of two door Mercedes-AMG vehicles.
