About the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (C190)

Mercedes-AMG describes the AMG GT as the second sports car it developed entirely in-house, after the SLS AMG, and it follows that car’s layout: the engine sits behind the front axle and a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT dual-clutch gearbox is mounted at the rear as a transaxle, for a 47:53 front-to-rear weight split. The structure is an aluminum spaceframe.

Its hand-built 4.0-liter V8, the M178, was the first AMG sports-car engine to combine turbochargers mounted inside the vee with dry-sump lubrication, which lets it sit lower in the chassis. Versions of the same V8 without the dry sump also power the W205 C63 and the GLC63.

The GT S coupe arrived first, followed by the base GT, the Roadster, the GT C and the GT R. With the 2018 facelift the base GT and GT S gained the AMG Panamericana grille.

On a 2022 car, Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 469 hp and 480 lb-ft to 650 hp and 670 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 675 hp and 685 lb-ft. The gearbox has its own controller and torque limits, so the optional TCU tune raises them to match, with sharper shifts and stronger clutch clamping.

FAQ

AMG GT (C190) tuning questions

More answers in our FAQ

Which years of the AMG GT (C190) does this tune fit?

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2015–2022 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (C190) models. Choose your year at the top of the page; figures and prices for each year are shown in the table above.

Is the AMG GT 4-Door Coupé the same car?

No. The four-door AMG GT 63 and GT 63 S (X290) share the name and a 4.0-liter V8 but are different cars, with all-wheel drive, a nine-speed MCT and room for four or five. This two-door AMG GT is a two-seat sports car with a dry-sump engine and a rear transaxle. The four-door models have their own pages.

Does this page cover the GT S, GT C and GT R?

Our catalog lists the two-door AMG GT as a single entry, with the factory figure shown in the table. The GT S, GT C and GT R left the factory with more power than the base GT, so contact us to confirm what is available for yours before ordering.

What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 on the AMG GT (C190)?

Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2022 car, Stage 1 takes it from 469 hp to 650 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 675 hp.

Do I need a TCU tune for the AMG GT (C190)?

A TCU tune is available as an add-on ($2,399). It raises the transmission’s torque limits and sharpens the shifts so the gearbox can handle the extra power. Ship your TCU in the same box as your ECU.
