AMG 4.0 litre V8 biturbo engine has been electrified here with an EQ Boost starter alternator and a 48 volt on board electrical system to deliver a particularly immediate response at start up. The base model delivers an output of 420 kW (571 hp), the S variant an impressive 450 kW (612 hp). Impressive agility is guaranteed by the AMG Ride Control+ air sprung suspension with AMG Active Ride Control roll stabilisation on a 48 volt basis, the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all wheel drive and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G 9 speed automatic transmission.

The AMG specific radiator grille visually accentuates the CoupÃ©'s membership of the AMG model family. And of course this versatile athlete still also offers all the advantages of a Mercedes SUV: a comprehensive range of safety features and effortlessly superior traction even on a damp or sandy surface and in winter road conditions. The design idiom of the exterior is the embodiment of hallmark AMG Driving Performance. Membership of the Affalterbach model family is obvious at first glance thanks to the AMG specific radiator grille in high gloss chrome.

The stylish and striking coupÃ© silhouette makes for a self assured appearance, with design lines that clearly convey the passion for performance. As a typical feature of the Performance models, the front apron in a dynamic jet wing design is painted in the vehicle colour and has black air intakes. Imposing powerdomes in the bonnet and the front splitter in silver chrome emphasise the sharper coupÃ© design all round. The side skirts, exterior mirror housings and flared wheel arches are painted in the vehicle colour, and seamlessly blend into the muscular overall look.

The base model is shod with 21 inch light alloy wheels with AMG lettering as standard, while the S variant comes with 22 inch wheels ex factory. Other wheel variants with diameters from 21 to 22 inches are optionally available. The newly designed rear apron with AMG specific details such as a striking diffuser in black and a trim strip in silver chrome visually accentuate the vehicle's width. he special AMG exhaust system with two rectangular high gloss chrome plated twin tailpipe trim elements completes the sportily dominant look. ■
