2026 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 S E Performance

Elsewhere in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, if a sedan and a coupe wear the same alphanumeric badge, both have four doors, they're mechanically identical, and the latter has a fastback roofline. But when it comes to the AMG GT, "coupe" means just two doors and the sedan is mechanically unrelated. Both cars offer a wide range of engines at an equally broad span of price points, as well as sleek familial sheetmetal.

If you're looking at the AMG GT coupe, the Porsche 911 and Chevrolet Corvette are worth checking out. Both are more focused on performance than the comparatively luxurious AMG GT. And both are available as convertibles; if you want a convertible AMG, you'll have to check out the Mercedes-Benz SL. If you're shopping sedans, you'll also want to take a look at the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe and Porsche Panamera, both of which offer a similar range of powertrains and performance. For 2026, Audi's fastback four-door is only available in maximum-performance RS 7 Performance guise.

The AMG GT coupe and sedan (which Mercedes confusingly refers to as the "4-door Coupe") might share a name and some of their engines, but differences between the two go much deeper than door count. The coupe shares its underpinnings with the SL roadster, while the sedan's structure is derived from that of the previous-generation E-Class sedan. And in the case of the AMG GT 43, the two body styles aren't even powered by the same engine. The AMG GT 43 coupe packs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while the AMG GT 43 sedan gets a turbo 3.0-liter inline-six. Coupe and sedan are similarly thrilling performers, though, so we won't quibble anymore about semantics.
