The redesigned Mercedes-AMG GT is getting ready for its big debut and the company is offering members of the AMG Private Lounge a sneak preview.
The event will be held at AMG headquarters and fans will be treated to a “unique presentation of the AMG GT by a product expert who will show you all the highlights of the coupe, before the world premiere.” Besides checking out the car, visitors can grab lunch and partake in the AMG Factory Experience. They can then go on a “guided drive” in a C 63 S E Performance, SL 63 or EQE 53.
Mercedes-AMG is hosting previews from the 10th to 13th of July and each daily session is limited to 24 people. The event costs €450 ($491 / £389), although most spots have already been booked as of this writing.

Putting the event aside, Mercedes released the first teaser of the redesigned AMG GT. However, there isn’t much to see as the car is shown beneath a form-fitting cover.
That doesn’t matter much as spy photographers have caught the model on numerous occasions and the car will follow in the footsteps of the SL. That being said, the GT features a larger and more aggressive grille, unique headlights, and a modified front bumper with vertical air curtains. Coupe fans will also find unique front fender vents and an updated rear end with slender taillights.

More notably, the GT will adopt a slightly more practical 2+2 interior. We can also expect a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch infotainment system.
Engine options should carryover from the convertible and this means we can expect a GT 55 with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 pumping out 469 hp (350 kW / 476 PS) and 516 lb-ft (699 Nm) of torque. The GT 63 should increase those numbers to 577 hp (430 kW / 585 PS) and 590 lb-ft (799 Nm). They’ll eventually be joined by performance-focused plug-in hybrids.
