Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Rental
Affalterbach's own sports car, a two-seat coupe and a four-door fastback sharing a name and an engine.
Overview
The Mercedes-AMG GT is Affalterbach's own sports car, engineered apart from the standard Mercedes-Benz range, and it runs as four cars under one name, the two-seat rear-drive GT R coupe plus the four-door GT 63 and GT 53 fastbacks that seat four with luggage. It goes to a renter who already has comfort covered and wants attitude instead.
How It Drives
Turbocharged pull arrives flat and immediate from low in the rev range, and the steering sharpens below 60 mph as the rear wheels turn against the fronts. The GT R suits a canyon run or a track day, while the GT 63 and GT 53 ride on air and seat four people in suits.
Who Rents It
The Mercedes-AMG GT R goes to a renter who wants the noise and a corner-carving chassis for a canyon run or a track day and has no need for a back seat, since there is not one. The GT 63 goes to a renter who wants a car that arrives like a performance machine but still seats four people in suits, useful when a G-Wagon reads as too loud and an S-Class as too quiet. The GT 53 is the quiet AMG, an inline six under the same body, chosen by a renter who wants the shape and the badge without the V8 or its price. All three suit a renter who already has comfort covered and wants attitude instead.
Trim Breakdown
Mercedes-AMG built the GT as a two-seat coupe and as a four-door fastback, with six-cylinder and V8 versions across both bodies. Prometheus Exotics runs three of them, the GT 53, the GT 63 and the GT R.
AMG GT 43 and GT 53
The Mercedes-AMG GT 43 and GT 53 are the six-cylinder versions of the four-door fastback, using a turbocharged inline six with mild hybrid assistance in place of a V8. Prometheus Exotics runs a GT 53. The ride is smoother, the cabin is quieter, and the exhaust cracks on an upshift instead of rumbling constantly underneath.
AMG GT and GT S
The Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S are the entry two-seat coupes, sharing the 4.0 liter twin-turbo V8 at lower output than the cars above them, with a long hood and a rear-mounted transaxle. Prometheus Exotics does not run either one. Both were also sold as roadsters with a folding fabric roof over the same two seats.
AMG GT C
The Mercedes-AMG GT C sits between the GT S and the GT R, adding a wider rear body, rear-axle steering and an electronic rear differential. Prometheus Exotics does not run a GT C. It is the two-seat AMG GT that gets most of the GT R hardware without the fixed rear wing bolted on top of the tail.
AMG GT R
The Mercedes-AMG GT R is the two-seat trim Prometheus Exotics runs, a 577 hp coupe with coilover suspension, rear-axle steering and a 9 stage traction dial that only wakes up with stability control switched off. There is no back seat and the trunk is shallow, so it suits two people and light luggage rather than a group.
AMG GT 63
The Mercedes-AMG GT 63 is the V8 four-door fastback and the other version Prometheus Exotics runs, carrying the same engine family as the GT R into a car with a usable back seat and air suspension. Above it sit the GT 63 S, the track-built GT R Pro and the Black Series, none of which we run.
