WELCOME TO THE HIGH LIFE: 2021 MERCEDES AMGGT43 The Mercedes-AMG GT 43 was created to let the lowly folk like Clutch, enter the luxury, high-performance party for a lower price than the GT 53. The retail price of the GT43 is $89,900 which is about $10,000 less than the GT 53. You get almost that same whip...A 3.0L inline-6 Turbo engine with EQ Boost, 362-horsepower (down from 429) and 369 lb-ft or torque (from 384). Us “new to the party” folk, won’t know or feel the difference so it’s a mute Looks: Pick-Up: Handling: Comfort: Passenger Comfort: point. Just LOVE IT! You will be blown away by the incredible hatchback stylings and smooth, sporty design of the GT43. When you slide inside the sporty, yet luxurious cabin, you will feel transported directly into the high life. You’ve got everything you would expect and more, with a killer surround-view camera, fixed panorama roof, heated & ventilated front seats and the super cool MBUX augmented reality video. RATING (out of 5 McFly’s) Access to Controls: Safety & Security: Sound System: Bells & Whistles: Overall: 2021 MERCEDES AMGGT43 Questions? Feedback? Email me at [email protected] • Follow me on The fuel economy of this sporty sedan is 20/25 MPG which is fine for the power but expect it to be on the lower end as you’ll enjoy the drive and find yourself going a little faster than you probably should. The final price tag with all the bells and whistles was $107,995 so the entry price point is still going to put you over the century mark. Either way, the 2021 AMG GT43 is an incredible vehicle and something every one should strive to drive.
