Recently the German manufacturer was seen testing their upcoming four door super sedan, speculated to be the AMG GT4, on Nürburgring. What’s more, these spy shots caught Mercedes testing the AMG GT4 on public roads.
As seen in the previous set of spy shots, the AMG GT4 gets a full-LED projector unit. The silhouette displays the sedan proportions and the large wheel arches which house the five spoke alloy wheels. The spied test mule we spotted was no different. Behind the alloy wheels are the painted beefy brake callipers are characteristic of the AMG badge worn by this sedan. The GT4 gets a sharp full LED tail lamp unit and a diffuser with quad exhaust tips to enhance its sporty design.
The engine is expected to be aided by a hybrid KERS (Kinetic energy recovery system) borrowed by Mercedes-AMG Formula-One cars. The engine will charge the battery pack of the GT4 only if regenerative braking is not able to top-up the juice in them. The total output with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and the electric motor combined is expected to be 805bhp. All the horses are expected to be delivered to the wheels by Mercedes’s ‘4matic’ all-wheel drive system.
AMG christened the hybrid tech as ‘EQ Power+’ which has also been lifted from their F1 cars and this label will be put on all the performance hybrids made by the manufacturer.
Once its debuted, the Mercedes-AMG GT4 will rival against the Porsche Panamera S and the Aston Martin Rapid S. The Mercedes-AMG GT4 is a strong contender in the segment whereas the closest competitors of the GT4 trail behind by 200bhp.
