A sports car full of fierceness, as a four-door coupe, the AMG GT is not good to drive

The history of the automobile traces back to nothing more than the word Mercedes-Benz, the historical development process of Mercedes-Benz in the past century can create a huge automobile empire, and then in the large and small fields of the car industry, we can almost all see the figure of Mercedes-Benz. As the core of Mercedes-Benz performance, AMG is a series that is competitive with power, and in this field, many models are continued.
Most of the models in the AMG series are based on Mercedes-Benz sedans or SUVs to enhance power, but one model is the AMG GT. The answer is clear from the way this model is named, it is a Mercedes-Benz GT sports car with performance at its core, and its true character is only revealed in galloping.
At present, the 22, 21, 20 and 19 models of the AMG GT belong to the same stage of sale, the difference is that each revamped model will have some differences in power. Among them, the 50 and 53 versions are both powered by the 3.0T V6, but in addition, the GT version and the 63 version have been powertrained and appeared as a 4.0T V8.
But if the model is to be used in the way of a street car, the 53 version will be a good choice. Among the existing models on sale, only the 2020 model still retains 53 versions. This version offers more power than the 50 version, with 435 hp and 520 Nm of torque, as well as a 48V mix and an electronic supercharger.
In fact, looking at the three model versions of the 2020 model alone, the official guidance price of the 50 version is 984,800 yuan, the official guidance price of the 53 version is 1,461,800 yuan, and the official guidance price of the 63 S is 2,046,800 yuan. So compared to the price of the 50 version, the 53 version has 477,000 more in terms of price, but it is not as prominent as the 63 S 4.0T V8 in terms of power.
Therefore, the actual position of the 53 version in the market will be more embarrassing, but this still does not hinder the model's AMG identity. Its handling texture has the effect of the original car, after all, the weight of this model is more than 2 tons, the body length size is 5054mm, and the wheelbase size is 2951mm, which is not small.
In fact, as a GT sports car, the handling texture of this model does not have an abrupt bursting effect, so the power output of the model will not make people feel very rude, but has a more controllable linear sense. The reason why it can give such a sense of control at a relatively large displacement is because of part of the role played by its light mixing system.
Because the model uses a turbocharged engine, the characteristics of the turbine are destined to have a half-second reaction period in the initial stage. However, there is a light mix to intervene in the driving state at the first time, which can well connect the response of the engine, which makes its power response more sensitive, but will not have an abrupt sense of power explosion.
And this light mixing system will also play an auxiliary role in the process of lifting and lowering gears, which also increases the smoothness of the transmission process. Therefore, when you are in the car to control this model, its acceleration effect will be more smooth, which will lead to the feeling of acceleration is weakened, and then make the driver want to step on the accelerator deeply.
At the same time, the power reserve provided by the model is very deep, no matter what kind of speed range the engine is in, it can show enough re-acceleration capability. However, the chassis texture of the model is very tough, and it can even be said that it is very hard, and its filter effect is almost out of the comfort that Mercedes-Benz has always emphasized, and it will be more inclined to sportiness in terms of chassis texture.
summary:
Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 4MATIC+ four-door sports car even in the name of GT, positioned in a four-door coupe, but it still does not have much comfort to speak of, a large part of which comes from chassis tuning, even in the face of flat asphalt, it will still bring this grainy feeling of fine vibration into the car. But in addition to comfort, the aggressiveness of the model in sport mode will be ready to come out, and the roar will be very obvious after one foot on the accelerator. In sport mode, the hard chassis is not so abrupt, at least it will be very compatible with the throttle response.
