The Mercedes-AMG GT 43 is an entry-level version of the brand’s flagship sports coupe, and it’s slower than an A45 S despite having the same engine. Read on for everything you need to know.

• New Mercedes-AMG GT 43 revealed
• Entry-level model gets four-cylinder engine from A45 S
• 421hp and 500Nm of torque
• 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds
• Toned-down styling over the 63 S
• Likely to cost over £100,000

This is the new Mercedes-AMG GT 43, and it’s the new entry point to the AMG GT range. Powered by the same 2.0-litre engine as the AMG A45 S, it’s actually slower to 60mph than the hot hatch.
