Mercedes-AMG has confirmed pricing for its most fearsome AMG GT car yet, with the limited-edition 2020 GT R PRO set to command a hefty tag if you want to get your hands on the keys. Only 750 of the 577 horsepower cars will be produced worldwide, the automaker has confirmed.
Mercedes-AMG recently unveiled the all-new M139 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. It’s a complete redesign of the previous-gen M133 four-cylinder motor in the outgoing Mercedes-AMG A45, CLA45, and GLA45. And, with up to 415 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque available, the M139 earns the title of the most powerful four-cylinder engine in the world.
Just how far can you squeeze a turbo-four? If you're Mercedes-AMG, then the answer is to record-setting levels, with the new M139 hailed as the world’s most powerful series-production turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four. That's found a home under the shapely hood of the new AMG CLA 45, where it's good for 382 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. For those keeping track, that’s 7 hp more than the the first-generation CLA 45.
Feast your eyes on the Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 4Matic Shooting Brake, a car that won't come to the U.S. Not that Mercedes specifically said no for the U.S., but we never get the slick Shooting Brakes stateside. The car has an AMG-spec radiator grille and AMG Line front apron with flics around the front air inlet grilles and front splitter.
Sometimes it's the little changes which make the biggest difference, something that definitely holds true for the EQ Boost system in the 2019 Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 Coupe. The newest CLS keeps the four-door-coupe styling but injects a dash of electrification, for a mild hybrid that's all about performance rather than green credentials.
Mercedes-AMG is said to be considering a move to only all-wheel drive rides. Rumors suggest that the next-gen of Mercedes-AMG models, including the AMG GT, could come with all-wheel drive as standard. Word of the possibility came from AMG head Tobias Moers. The exec also said that smaller engines are in the cards for the Mercedes-AMG models as more electrification is used.
Mercedes-AMG is giving the GLC 63 line-up a revamp, with new exterior lighting, sharper driving dynamics, and a tech bump for the cabin. Making their debut at the New York Auto Show 2019 this week, and headed to dealerships later this year, the new 2020 AMG GLC 63 SUV and 2020 GLC 63 Coupe now get Mercedes' brand new MBUX infotainment system, which first appeared last year.
The Porsche 911 remains the epitome of the everyday sort of sports car - and, depending on the trim, the everyday supercar as well - but the title of best German sports car is getting a serious challenge by the updated 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT. Now offered in four trim levels, from the GT, and GT C, through the GT R, and finally the track-focused GT R Pro, it's the latter, most intense version of AMG's fearsome coupe that should be giving Porsche some sleepless nights.
Mercedes pulled the wraps off the Mercedes-AMG CLA 35 4Matic this week, and it looks enough like the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic that you may need a double take. The CLA 35 4Matic is a four-door coupe according to Mercedes, and it shares the same engine as the A 35 uses.
Mercedes-AMG has been unveiling lots of new performance cars in recent months, including the slick GLE 53. The latest car is the Mercedes-AMG A 35 4Matic Saloon, which is the second car in the new Mercedes compact car platform from Mercedes-AMG. The automaker says that this is the first choice for customers wanting comfortable space and sportiness.
Mercedes has unveiled a new version of the sweet AMG GT called the AMG GT R Roadster. Mercedes is aiming the car at track day fans and those who want a sports car for the streets that is fun and attractive. The GT R Roadster is a limited edition version of the car with only 750 units being made globally.
Mercedes-AMG has unveiled a new performance SUV with the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ debuting. The heart of the performance SUV is a 3.0L in-line six-cylinder engine that makes 435hp and 520 Nm of torque. That gas engine is paired with a 48V onboard electrical system.
