Mercedes-AMGGT S (C190) 2017 - 2020

　　Mercedes-AMG celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2017 and with that occasion improved or subtly upgraded its entire range, and the GT S coupe was also affected, in a positive way.

　　For the 2018 model year, the GT S received a redesigned front grille with the Panamericana styling, consisting of 15 vertical double-slats. Those in the middle supported the big three-pointed-star badge. Also, the bumper was redesigned with larger exterior air-inlets and the A-shaped lower grille in the apron. A black glossy trim adorned the bottom of the spoiler at the front. On the sides, the air vents placed on the front fenders got the chromed V8 Biturbo lettering on the black horizontal slats. At the back, the car sported dual exhausts integrated into the rear diffuser, also painted in black. Moreover, the Carbon-Fiber styling package was extended for the side skirts and the rear apron.

　　Inside, the carmaker installed sport bucket seats with Alcantara upholstery that provided excellent side support during hard cornering. The driver was spoiled with a three-spoke, flat-bottom steering wheel covered in the same material as the seats. A pair of aluminum shift paddles found their way at the tip of the driver's fingers.

　　But the most important upgrades were for the technical department. The rear axle received a standard limited-slip differential integrated into the transmission housing, increasing the cornering speed. The V8 powerplant received a retune, which brought 12 more hp (9kW) for the GT S version, and it was mated to the seven-speed AMG Speedshift automatic (dual-clutch) gearbox.
