The car can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in a highly impressive 4 seconds, and offers a top speed of 304 km/h. One of the secrets to the Mercedes Benz AMG GT's impressive specs is its special lightweight aluminum construction as well as its broad-shouldered shape and narrow tail, which make it both muscular and aerodynamic while giving it a dramatic and aggressive appearance. The car also has a low center of gravity and a double-wishbone suspension system that allows for agile handling and high speeds turning corners.
