2027 Mercedes-AMG® GT Coupe Trims Compared: 43, 55, 63, 63 PRO, and 63 S E PERFORMANCE

The 2027 Mercedes-AMG® GT Coupe is built for performance-focused buyers who want a flagship grand touring sports car with genuine range. The lineup spans five distinct trims, 43, 55, 63, 63 PRO, and 63 S E PERFORMANCE, with output ranging from 416 hp in the rear-wheel-drive 43 to 805 hp and 1,047 lb-ft of torque in the plug-in hybrid 63 S E PERFORMANCE. If you want rear-wheel-drive agility and four seats as standard, the 43 is your entry point. If you want the ultimate in electrified performance, the 63 S E PERFORMANCE sits at the top of the range.

2027 AMG® GT Coupe Trims at a Glance

Five trims, three distinct powertrains, and a performance range that stretches from spirited grand touring to track-focused territory. Every trim uses the AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT 9-speed transmission.

The 43 pairs a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder with an electric exhaust-gas turbocharger and a 48-volt belt-driven starter-generator. It is the only rear-wheel-drive configuration in the lineup and the lightest entry into Mercedes-AMG GT ownership.

The 55 steps up to the handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. The 63 extracts 577 hp from the same V8 architecture, and the 63 PRO pushes the combustion-only formula furthest at 603 hp, with AMG ceramic high-performance brakes and AMG Performance front seats.

At the top sits the 63 S E PERFORMANCE, a plug-in hybrid that combines the 603-hp V8 with a 201-hp electric motor at the rear axle for a combined 805 hp and 1,047 lb-ft of torque.

Acceleration and Top Speed by Trim

Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. Obey local speed and traffic laws. Top speed is electronically limited.

63 PRO or 63 S E PERFORMANCE?

These two trims sit at the top of the lineup but arrive from different directions. The 63 PRO is the combustion-focused, circuit-minded variant. The 63 S E PERFORMANCE adds plug-in hybrid power for the quickest acceleration in the range.

EPA-Estimated Fuel Economy and Charging

Fuel costs vary considerably across the lineup, which matters for buyers who plan to drive their GT regularly between El Cajon and San Diego.

The 43’s EPA-Estimated 19 city / 27 highway mpg makes it the most practical choice for frequent commuting. The 63 S E PERFORMANCE pairs its V8 with a 6.1 kWh high-performance battery, charged through a 3.7 kW onboard AC charger with a J1772 connector. It is the only plug-in hybrid in the lineup and the only trim with a charging port.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Cabin Space, Seating, and Cargo

The 43 and 63 PRO list cargo capacity up to 23.8 cu ft, while the 63 S E PERFORMANCE’s hybrid hardware reduces cargo space to 7.2 cu ft. Front occupants in every trim get 37.8 inches of headroom, 42.7 inches of legroom, and 56.3 inches of shoulder room, dimensions that accommodate taller drivers comfortably. Heated power front seats with memory, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a heated AMG Performance steering wheel round out the comfort experience.

Striking AMG® GT Coupe Design

Bold, low, and unmistakably purposeful, the 2027 AMG® GT Coupe makes a visual statement whether it is parked or pulling onto the road. The coupe measures 186.1 inches long and stands 53.5 inches tall on the 43 and 53.3 inches on the 55, 63, 63 PRO, and 63 S E PERFORMANCE, giving each variant a planted stance. DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps with projection function sharpen the front end, and buyers who want a more aggressive look can choose the AMG Night Package or the AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Package. The MANUFAKTUR program extends the paint palette to exclusive finishes such as MANUFAKTUR Night Black Magno.

Technology to Keep You Connected

Every 2027 AMG® GT Coupe is anchored by third-generation MBUX, presented on a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch central touchscreen. MBUX intelligent voice control responds to natural language and learns your habits over time, and the Mercedes-Benz App adds remote start from your phone. A Burmester® Surround Sound System is standard, with the Burmester® High-End 3D Surround Sound System available. Drivers who want more can add the AMG Head-Up Display and MBUX Augmented Video for Navigation.

Driver Assistance and Safety

Every trim includes dual front, front side, knee, and overhead curtain airbags, along with the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call system. For long highway stretches toward San Diego, the available Driver Assistance Package adds:

• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®, which can bring the car to a full stop in traffic and resume after brief stops
• Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Function
• Active Lane Keeping Assist
• Active Lane Change Assist
• Active Speed Limit Assist

A Surround View camera system is also available to simplify parking in tight spaces.

Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.

Warranty and Electrified Battery Coverage

The 2027 AMG® GT Coupe is backed by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which covers 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Roadside Assistance is included for the same 4-year/50,000-mile period. For the 63 S E PERFORMANCE, the plug-in hybrid high-voltage battery carries its own limited warranty of 6 years or 62,000 miles. In California and certain other states, Mercedes-Benz extends that high-voltage battery coverage to 10 years or 150,000 miles, added reassurance for El Cajon-area buyers who plan to own their vehicle long term.
