Mercedes-AMG GT Priced as Much as a Porsche 911 C4S in Germany

Mercedes has just announced pricing for their new AMG GT coupe and AMG C63 sports cars in Germany.

The least you’ll have to pay to get a piece of the new Mercedes four-liter biturbo V8 is €76,100. That’s how much the standard version of the new AMG C63 costs, and prices only go up from there should you want the C63 S or any of the two AMG GT variants.

The C63 S, which gains 33 hp over the basic C63, also adds another €8,271 to the price, bringing it up to €84,371. Between the estate and sedan body styles available, plus the S or non-S option, the C63 can be had in a total of four distinct variants. The dearest is obviously the S Estate which costs €86,037 – if you want a specced up “Edition 1” model, that brings up the price even more. In S Estate trim, it comes close to the €100,000 mark.

The AMG GT has a very similar range, with S and non-S, as well as Edition 1. It kicks off at €115,430 and tops off at €134,351. For reference, the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S starts from €112,313 in Germany, and since you might ask, the same car costs $105,630 in the US.

The following statement was issued by Tobias Moer, the CEO of Mercedes-AMG.

“For us, the sales start of the Mercedes-AMG GT and C 63 is the start of a new era which is also highlighted by the new nomenclature. In this way we are positioning Mercedes-AMG even more aggressively than before as a dynamic sports car brand,” he remarked, adding that “when sales start, both models will already be available as particularly dynamic S-models. I am quite certain of this: the driving dynamics, agility and sportiness will thrill our AMG customers. With these two high-performance models we are further reinforcing our brand claim of “Driving Performance.”

The first cars are expected to hit (German) showrooms in February/the first quarter of 2015.
