A Thrill in Every Drive: 2026 Mercedes-AMG® GT 4-Door Coupe Performance Highlights

Electrified Performance with a Hybrid-Boosted Inline-6  

At the heart of the 2026 Mercedes-AMG® GT 4-Door Coupe is a 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine with hybrid assist. This powertrain embodies AMG®’s dedication to innovation and performance. Producing 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, it delivers smooth yet commanding acceleration. The Integrated Starter-Generator contributes an extra 21 horsepower while recapturing energy during deceleration. Drivers can enjoy fuel-free coasting or an instant burst of torque when needed, offering a refined yet thrilling driving experience.  

Intelligent Hybrid Integration  

Adding to its powertrain innovation, the Hybrid Integrated Starter-Generator works with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery to supply power to critical systems. Components like the air-conditioning compressor and water pump now draw electric power, reducing weight and improving responsiveness. The electric boost adds immediate torque, providing that AMG® signature punch without delay. This system gives the coupe its unique blend of strength and efficiency, keeping performance alive with every press of the accelerator.

AMG® SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G Transmission  

Every gear change in the 2026 AMG® GT 4-Door Coupe feels sharp and responsive thanks to the AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9G transmission.

The moment you lift your foot off the brake, the engine restarts instantly, keeping the drive flowing smoothly. This intelligent system enhances the vehicle’s efficiency while preserving the AMG® spirit of power and agility.
