The next-generation Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe is one of the automotive industry’s worst-kept secrets. We’ve spied prototypes of the sports car testing on several occasions and today, we have a 3:20-minute clip showing a yellow test car doing rounds on a frozen lake in Scandinavia. The footage finally seems to confirm a V8 engine is going to be available for the new AMG GT.
What’s under the hood has been the biggest mystery surrounding the new model. We’ve heard everything from an electrified 4.0-liter to a turbo-four with or without hybridization. The latter options are still not excluded but the prototype in this new video sounds a lot like a V8-powered car to us. There’s no mistaking the throaty eight-cylinder roar and we will have to wait and see what other powertrains are going to be offered.
