The Mercedes-AMG GT sports car was just updated for 2017, but Mercedes saw fit to give it some fresh DNA from the 4-Door Coupe for 2020. It now features headlights based on those of the 4-Door, and the front and rear fascias have been mildly updated. The biggest news here is that the 10.25-inch infotainment screen now comes as standard equipment as does the AMG Track Pace system that debuted in the 4-Door Coupe as well. There are no powertrain upgrades to speak of, though, so the base model still delivers 469 horsepower while the GT C pumps out 550 horsepower. The GT R carries on with 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

What's New On the Outside?

Well, the update is rather mild, with minor changes here and there for all versions of the AMG GT.

Up front, there are revised headlamps based on those from the four-door version, as well as mildly revised bumpers. Onto the sides, Mercedes added black sill covers for the GT model and optional alloys wheels in Y-spoke design and finished in Titanium Gray. For the AMG GT C, you can get 10-spoke forged wheels.

Mercedes also tweaked the rear bumper and diffuser, but nothing too radical. We can see new tailpipes as well. The AMG GT now has two round outlets, while the AMG GT C features trapezoidal pipes.

What About the Interior?

Likewise, changes aren't that big, and they're mostly borrowed from the four-door model. There is a new sports steering wheel and colored display buttons on the center console, but other than that, it's mostly about new technology.

The instrument cluster now features an entirely new screen design with three AMG-specific display styles: Classic, Sporty, and Supersport.

The AMG Track Pace virtual race engineer, also taken from the four-door, records data when driving on race tracks, and provides more than 80 vehicle-specific sets of data and recorded lap and sector times. The feature is part of the COMAND online infotainment system.

Anything New Under the Hood?

Not really. According to released specs, the GT, GT C, and GT R models continue with the same twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8, and the same power ratings. The base model continues to deliver 469 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque, while the GT C version cranks out 550 horses and 502 pound-feet of torque. These cars hit 60 mph in 3.9 and 3.6 seconds, respectively. Their top speed is locked at 189 and 196 mph respectively.

The most powerful coupe is also the quickest, needing 3.5 clicks to hit 60 mph, on its way to a top speed of 198 mph. There's no word on the GT S model yet, but it should deliver the same 515 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of twist.

New Limited-Edition Model

While there aren't more powerful engines to talk about, Mercedes offers some drivetrain upgrades in the form of a limited-edition model called the AMG GT R Pro.

The revised suspension includes a more adjustable coil-over setup, an adjustable carbon-fiber torsion bar for the front axle, and spherical bearing in the upper wishbones for enhanced driving precision. The GT R Pro is also lighter thanks to the standard carbon-ceramic braking system and a host of carbon-fiber components.

Merc also improved aerodynamics by adding new side flics to the bumper and two air slots in the front fenders to reduce front axle lift. At the rear, clear-coated carbon-fiber aero elements at the wheel arches rise up vertically to decrease rear axle lift as well.

Design-wise, the Pro stands out from the GT R thanks to its standard Carbon Package that adds fins, trim strips, side mirrors, rear spoiler, and diffuser in clear-coated carbon-fiber. It also features unique stripes that run over the hood, roof, and trunk, as well as along the side skirts. But you can delete the stripes if you want a cleaner look.
