Mercedes-benz Amg gt43 problems

mercedes-benz logo

The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is an executive car (E-segment) introduced in 2018 by Mercedes-AMG. It is marketed as a five-door variant of the AMG GT two-door sports car. Despite the name and style, the GT 4-Door Coupé is closely related to E63 wagon with its performance chassis, and is featured by the AMG-specific rear frame and a different front axle for better kinematics.

Specifications

The design of the GT 4-Door Coupé was mainly influenced by the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Concept introduced a few years before series production. The AMG GT 4-Door Coupé uses a front-engine layout with rear-wheel-drive or 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel-drive (rear-biased), and is available with either a 3.0 L M256 turbo/supercharged inline-six engine or a 4.0 L M177 twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The inline-six engine features a conventional turbocharger as well as a mild hybrid system that Mercedes-Benz calls "EQ Boost", which uses an electrically driven supercharger and a 48 volt electric motor that when combined, produce an extra 21 hp (16 kW) and 184 lb⋅ft (249 N⋅m) of torque in addition to the petrol engine when it is not powering the electrical system. This system traces its roots back to the Mercedes CLS 53. The car utilises the rear anti-roll bar to increase chassis stiffness, as well as active aero, including an electronically adjustable rear spoiler and electronically operated front louvers in the front grille, that can open and close to manage airflow through the radiator from the AMG GT R flagship sports car.

Variants

Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4MATIC+ & Mercedes-AMG GT 50 4MATIC+

The GT 43 and the GT 50 are the entry-level variants of the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé and both feature the same M256 3.0L Twincharged inline-six and the 4MATIC+ AWD system. The engine produces 270 kW (362 hp; 367 PS) and 500 N⋅m (369 lbf⋅ft) of torque and the EQ Boost starter-alternator delivers additional short-term output and torque of 16 kW (21 hp) and 250 N⋅m (184 lbf⋅ft), respectively. It can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 4.9 seconds, with a claimed top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph). The GT43 and GT50 are the same car (GT43 is the worldwide version, GT50 is the China only version).

Common Mercedes-benz Amg gt43 problems

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 is a high-performance sedan that shares its inline-six-cylinder engine with the GT53 model. This engine features a turbocharger, an intercooler, an electric supercharger, and a small electric motor, which together provide a combined 429 horsepower in the GT53 model.

Another issue that some GT43 and GT53 owners have reported is a problem with the 48V battery. Some owners have experienced a check engine light with an error code indicating a "hybrid battery depleted" issue, which was not immediately resolved even after replacing the 48V battery.

The infotainment system in the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 is another area where some owners have reported issues. While the system is impressively capable and features a large 12.3-inch screen, it can be complicated and frustrating to use.

In terms of safety and driver-assistance features, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 comes standard with automatic high-beams, parking sensors, Mercedes Pre-Safe system, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.

Finally, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 comes with a four-year or 50,000-mile warranty, which matches the warranty duration of the Porsche Panamera and BMW 8-series models. This may be a consideration for owners who are looking for a high-performance sedan that offers long-term value and peace of mind.

What is the top speed of AMG gt43?

174-mph

Losing half of the displacement and ditching half of the cylinders doesn't mean giving up half of the output, luckily, and AMG quotes a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.5 seconds on to a 174-mph top speed. AMG notes that a 48-volt-powered electric turbocharger ensures excellent throttle response across the full rev range.
