Although Mercedes-AMG continues to develop the GT with exciting new upgrades and variants, the tuning scene for the model is also rapidly expanding.
The latest tuner to get its mitts on the Mercedes-AMG GT is German company Luethen Motorsport. As with most before it, the brand has modified the car on a number of fronts, from aesthetics and aerodynamics to its engine.
Starting with the most obvious change, the body kit, it is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber and includes a fixed rear wing, aggressive front splitter with small winglets, side skirts and a new diffuser. These elements don’t just add presence to the car but also downforce, promising to make it even more capable on a racetrack. Completing the upgrades are forged wheels available in 20-inch and 21-inch sizes as well as sports springs that marginally lower the ride height.
As for the engine, Luethen have fitted the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with a custom ECU that increases power from the 503 HP of the AMG GT S up to 612 hp and 780 Nm of torque. Additionally, the top speed limiter has been removed, allowing the model to accelerate through to 330 km/h (205 mph).
