To further augment the driving experience, the GT 43 comes with active aerodynamics, including an Airpanel system and a retractable rear spoiler, adjusting airflow as needed for enhanced dynamics and efficiency. The chassis, featuring multi-link front and rear axles and lightweight construction, ensures superior handling and stability at high speeds.
For those seeking an even more personalized touch, the GT 43 offers a range of optional features, including the AMG Dynamic Plus package and rear-axle steering, allowing drivers to tailor the vehicle to their preferred driving style.
The exterior design of the GT 43 sets it apart, with its elegant front apron, large air inlets, and distinctive tailpipe trims, encapsulating the vehicle’s dynamic nature.
