Battery-electric vehicles are our likely future. However, before the batteries take over, automakers will continue to produce combustion-powered cars. That’s true at Mercedes as it prepares to launch the 2024 AMG GT Coupe, which displayed its raucous exhaust note in a new spy video that captured several two-door test vehicles roaring around the Nurburgring race track.
The powertrain range remains a mystery, but we expect an E Performance version to sit at the top of the range that pairs a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine with an electric motor. The entire setup produces a bonkers 831 horsepower and over 1,000 pound-feet of torque in the four-door Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance and could be as potent in the coupe. Previous spy shots revealed a charging port on the model’s rear bumper.
