Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
The exceptional GT follows in the footsteps of the defunct SLR and SLS. It is now available in Canada in GT, GT S, GT C and GT R versions in coupe and cabriolet configurations. They all get the same twin-turbo 4.0L V8 ranging from 469 to 577 horsepower. In all cases, a seven-speed gearbox transfers power to the rear wheels. The GT R, the most powerful of the foursome, goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds.
