Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door Coupe X290 (1st Generation)

20182026 · X290 · sedan

Built on the same MRA platform as the W213 E-Class. M256 inline-six (GT 43 / 53), M177 4.0L biturbo V8 (GT 63 / 63 S), and the GT 63 S E Performance — 831-hp plug-in hybrid V8, the most powerful production Mercedes ever when introduced. 4MATIC+ AWD standard. Five-seat configuration; rear bucket layout available.

Watch out: Carbon ceramic brakes (optioned) and tire wear on AMG-spec rubber — both exotic-car-tier service items. M177 V8 broadly very reliable. E Performance PHEV battery cooling and out-of-warranty cost still settling on early-build cars.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
