Is it the end of the road for the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe? A report says production of the German supercar will come to an end in December 2021.

According to Spanish outlet Motor.Es, production of the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe will come to an end in December 2021 and the order books have already closed. While nothing official has been confirmed by Mercedes-AMG itself, the brand’s track record of launching of Black Series derivative is followed by the end of production.

With the flagship Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series out and about, and a few confirmed for South Africa, the writing is on the wall. The Mercedes-AMG GT has been quite the car for the German carmaker. Designed as a rival to the ultra-successful Porsche 911, it couldn’t quite match the heritage, but it ran Stuttgart’s finest very close as far as performance went. With its incredible looks and the 4.0-litre biturbo petrol V8 on duty, this was a special vehicle. There were quite a few derivatives on offer, catering for all needs. You could get a base coupe, a stylish cabriolet as well as some hardcore track-focused monsters.

The Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe also proved to be a great platform to show off just how versatile that V8 engine was. In its lowest state of tune, you had 345 kW on tap. Before the Black Series was unveiled, the performance AMG GT R Pro packed 430 kW. With some substantial modifications under the bonnet, including a flat-plane crankshaft, the AMG GT Black Series punched out 537 kW!

Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe to be replaced by SL?

So, where to from here? We do not know if there will be a successor to the AMG GT coupe/convertible. We do know the 4-door will be around for a bit longer, evidenced by the launch of the first AMG performance plug-in hybrid. The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E sounds ballistic, thanks to its 4.0-litre biturbo V8 with electrical assistance, delivering a crazy 620 kW and 1 400 Nm.

What if you were aiming for a two-door stylish yet sporty Mercedes-Benz product? We have good news as the all-new Mercedes-Benz SL is almost ready to be revealed and we expect the covers to be whipped off before the end of 2021, if not sooner. As before, there’ll be an assortment of powertrains on offer, including flagship AMG offerings. There’s no South African ETA on the new Mercedes-Benz SL, but if you’re after a special two-door coupe, then dive into our listings for a low-mileage AMG GT.
