According to a study on theConcept of such carsThe new model came out as an all-purpose weapon. It combines the characteristics of an everyday vehicle for the whole family with those of an excellent sports car. It promises more space and at the same time more power under the hood, with a four-liter biturbo V8 electric motor with 639 hp in the S line. This should be the perfect family car with sports qualities that would be available as a series model.
The perfect sporty family car
The new family orientedSports carappears on the market under the simple name Mercedes-AMG 4-Door GT and is offered in three configurations. Here we briefly summarize the technical data:
- Mercedes AMG 4-door GT 63 S 4-Matic+: 4.0 liter biturbo V8, 3,982 cm3, 639 hp, top speed 310 km/h, acceleration 0-100 3.2 s
- Mercedes AMG 4-door GT 63 4-Matic+: 4.0 liter biturbo V8, 3,982 cm3, 585 hp, top speed 315 km/h, acceleration 0-100 3.4 s
- Mercedes AMG 4-door GT 53 S 4-Matic+: 3.0 liter turbo R6, 2,999 cm3, 435 hp, top speed 285 km/h, acceleration 0-100 4.5 s
The three variants have all-wheel drive, which controls from rear to all-wheel drive and vice versa thanks to the intelligent 4-Matic+ system. Depending on the model, the AMG Speedshift new gear automatic offers up to six programs to choose from: Comfort, Smooth, Sport, Sport+, Race and Individual for manual transmission mode. The S model comes with a “drift mode”, which is also optional in the other versions for an additional charge. The driver can deactivate the ESP system and have more fun in the curves. Thanks to the AMG Ride Control+ air suspension and the improved traction and dynamics, the driver can accelerate out of corners earlier and more powerfully. The four-door coupe has a limited-slip differential on the rear axle, which is electronically controlled and ensures optimal grip. The vehicle remains stable even during braking maneuvers at high speed. All three versions are equipped with brake systems with 6-piston fixed calipers at the front and 1-piston floating calipers at the rear, which vary in color depending on the model variant.
Equipment and optics
The BMW X7 iPerformance - A luxury SUV with a petrol hybrid drive
All BMW fans have waited a long time and the time has already come: the Munich-based company has presented its new XXL SUV. The BMW X7 iPerformance impresses with its six seats, two screens, panoramic roof and a hybrid petrol engine. The six-seater will not be presented until the end of 2018 and will come onto the market in 2019.
Visually, the new Mercedes AMG GT 4-door is strongly reminiscent of the Mercedes CLS. The two are actually based on the E-Class platform, but this has been consistently modified by AMG. At the same time, the AMG variant impresses with several details that were developed specifically for the model and ensure a sporty appearance. In terms of equipment, there are also several highlights such as the Night package with glossy black trim elements, the Chrome package with high-gloss chrome elements and other additional functional elements.
The V8 versions are equipped with two approximately 31 cm displays for controlling the functions in the interior. In the R6 version they are available for an additional charge, otherwise you get the classic round instruments like the Mercedes CLS. Highlights such as a G-Force display as well as power and torque values are intended for sporty drivers. A completely new development is the intuitive performance steering wheel with integrated touch control sensors or optionally with an integrated display. This means that many functions can be operated without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.
The comfortable sports seats and headrests can be individually adjusted and the different positions can be saved. For the rear seats you can choose between a folding rear seat or individual seats. The trunk volume varies up to 435 liters and there are still 40 liters available under the trunk floor. An additional function allows the trunk to be opened using just a foot movement.
In the new model, communication has a high priority. Thanks to Intelligent Drive functions, the driver can benefit from partially automated driving, for example in traffic jams or when parking, make phone calls, adjust the heating, etc. Rounding times are also saved, which can be improved later, as are the accelerator and brake pedals, as well as the acoustics in the coupe can be adjusted with one command. Ambient lighting, ventilation and massage seats also ensure a high level of comfort for passengers.
