Mercedes Benz has unveiled a new version of its AMG GT Coupe, the Mercedes AMG GT 43 Coupe the car comes with a 2.0-litre turbo engine that produces 421 horsepower or 310 kW, the car is rear-wheel drive and is designed for dynamic driving.
The AMG 2.0-litre turbocharged engine comes with 500 Nm of torque, and features an innovative electric exhaust gas turbocharger borrowed from Formula 1™, ensuring quick response across all speeds. The new AMG GT 43 enhances driving dynamics and efficiency, using a 48-volt system to power the turbocharger and a belt-driven starter generator.
This setup provides an additional boost of 10 kW (14 hp) and introduces mild hybrid capabilities for improved efficiency through coasting and recuperation. Additionally, the 48-volt technology smooths out start-stop and coasting transitions, enhancing comfort.
The electric exhaust gas turbocharger, inspired by technology used by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, incorporates a compact, roughly four-centimetre electric motor within the turbocharger’s shaft, situated between the turbine and compressor wheels. This setup, controlled electronically, pre-activates the turbocharger’s shaft, enhancing the compressor wheel’s speed before the exhaust gas flow assumes its traditional role.
