Mercedes-Benz’s in-house tuning brand, AMG, has never built its own four-door car before.
There’s no question they’ve gained plenty of notoriety, and made plenty of money by taking Mercedes-Benz’s more conservative offerings and dialing them up to 11 and beyond, and it has made two coupes of its own, but it never had a four-door to call its own.

That all changed with the GT 4-Door Coupe it showed at the Geneva International Motor Show today, complete with a storming 315km/h supercar-hunting top speed.
Visually based on the AMG GT range of coupes, the GT 4-Door family is actually engineered around the same MRA modular architecture that sits beneath the E-Class, the C-Class and the CLS.
AMG engineers go-fast versions of all of them, so the chassis, suspension and power train development wasn’t exceptionally difficult for the brand, except for attaching some carbon-fiber (CFRP) reinforcement in the center and the rear end (similar to what Audi and Lamborghini have done with the R8/Hurucan twins).
It’s another in the European premium auto industry’s attempts at richening up their model mixes, with AMG intentionally pricing and positioning the GT 4-Door Coupes to sit well above Benz’s E-Class and its just-launched CLS.
