2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Spied Yet Again

The upcoming 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT set to be revealed in the coming months has been spied testing yet again.

This particular prototype was spotted by GTspirit reader Tomas Mouton and is likely one of the earlier prototypes considering the heavy camouflage it has. The most recent prototypes have only sported a light panel tight camouflage compared to the bulging one pictured here.

We recently confirmed that contrary to some recent reports, the AMG GT will not feature a V6 engine. Instead, it will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine expected to be available in a host of different tunes including a Black Series version. One of the primary aims of the AMG GT is for it to act as Mercedes-Benz’s rival to the Porsche 911 range. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out!

Importantly, Mercedes-Benz will also focus heavily on reducing the weight of the AMG GT compared to the SLS AMG and thanks to a smaller body and a new aluminium spaceframe, it should weigh at least 300 pounds less.

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is due for its public debut during the second half of this year, likely at the Paris Motor Show 2014, and first customer deliveries can be expected next year.
