Facts
Both the front and rear suspension of the first AMG GT used double wishbones made from forged aluminium.
The AMG GT engine used dry-sump lubrication, allowing it to be mounted lower and helping reduce the centre of gravity.
The first AMG GT's seven-speed dual-clutch transmission was mounted at the rear axle in a transaxle layout.
At launch the V8 produced 462 hp in the AMG GT and 510 hp in the AMG GT S.
The first AMG GT's 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 placed its two turbochargers inside the cylinder banks, shortening gas paths and making the engine more compact.
With the engine set back behind the front axle and the transmission mounted at the rear, the first AMG GT achieved roughly 47:53 front-to-rear weight distribution.
More than 90% of the first AMG GT's spaceframe was aluminium, and the complete body structure weighed about 231 kg.
The first AMG GT's rear spoiler deployed automatically according to vehicle speed and the selected driving mode.
The first-generation Mercedes-AMG GT, unveiled in 2014, was the second model developed entirely by AMG engineers in Affalterbach.
Despite its sports-car layout, the first AMG GT had a two-seat cabin and a roughly 350-litre luggage compartment with a wide loading opening.
