The production of the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT Coupé in Sindelfingen was jointly agreed with the works council as part of the transformation plan in 2014. By 2020, Daimler will invest about 1.5 billion Euros in the Mercedes-Benz plant Sindelfingen as part of this safeguarding of the future. The plant will be modernised comprehensively and put on a sustainable foundation. In addition, another 600 million Euros will be invested in research and development at the Sindelfingen location. This means total investments in the location of about 2.1 billion Euros.
The vehicle is the third sports car developed in-house by Mercedes-AMG following the SLS AMG and the AMG GT. Longitudinal and lateral dynamics as well as a striking profile with classic proportions mean that the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé slots into the model range alongside its two-door brothers. As the first four-door AMG GT model, it furthermore combines high everyday comfort with many options for individualisation and the very latest in sports car engineering. The market launch starts in October 2018.
