No shared platform, no borrowed sheet metal — the C190 AMG GT was Mercedes-AMG's first ground-up sports car, a front-mid-engined coupé built to remind the world that Affalterbach could do more than tune sedans.
Unveiled in 2014, the C190 AMG GT mounted a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 behind the front axle and sent power to the rear wheels through a transaxle layout that optimized weight distribution. The aluminum spaceframe chassis, long bonnet, and fastback tail evoked the 300 SL without pastiche; inside, the rotary drive-mode controller and performance-focused cockpit made the car's intentions clear. AMG variants from the GT to the GT R and GT Black Series expanded the range from grand tourer to track weapon.
The C190 AMG GT Coupé redefined Mercedes-AMG as a sports-car manufacturer in its own right — a dedicated chassis that sits alongside the SL and SLS in the company's performance pantheon and evolved through successive AMG performance grades.

- 2018
- The AMG GT R reached the US with 577 hp, active rear-wheel steering, wider bodywork, coil-over suspension, active underbody aerodynamics and nine-stage traction control.
- The GT C coupé joined with the GT R’s wider rear body and rear-wheel steering; Edition 50 marked AMG’s anniversary.
- 2020
- The range-wide update adopted the vertical-bar Panamericana grille, revised LED lighting, a digital instrument cluster, new center-console display buttons and AMG DYNAMICS.
- 2021
- The 720-hp AMG GT Black Series introduced a flat-plane-crank M178 LS2 V8, extensive adjustable aerodynamics, carbon-fiber body components and track-focused suspension.
