Several prototypes of the next-generation Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe have been caught at the Green Hell during final testing. Judging by the quad exhaust tip design and the aggressive engine soundtrack, they all seemed to be V8 versions meant to compete with the Porsche 911 Turbo / Turbo S. However, the peeps from Affalterbach are also working on lesser versions, likely with an inline-six as offered in the "53"-badged models.
We are also not ruling out a four-cylinder, plug-in hybrid setup considering the mechanically related SL roadster has an electrified 2.0-liter for the base "43" version. This video is a good opportunity to see the top-tier flavors in action, together with their electrically deployable rear spoiler. As shown below, other prototypes have been spotted carrying a fixed rear wing.
