<\/a><\/p>\n As part of Mercedes-Benz <\/a>Media Night at the Paris Motor Show 2014<\/a>, the Mercedes-AMG GT Edition 1 has been introduced. Distinguished from the regular AMG GT models with a selection of visual modifications, it is understood that the Edition 1 will be available in both GT and GT S specifications. We went in for a closer look.<\/p>\n Some of the new visual parts which separate the AMG GT Edition 1 from the regular model are a new front splitter, new carbon fibre side skirts, a fixed rear wing and brand new 10-spoke alloy wheels. In the cabin, the AMG GT Edition 1 is adorned with new badges.<\/p>\r\n Order books for the car will open soon and preliminary predictions indicate it will cost about 10,000 pounds more than the existing AMG GT S model. As with previous Edition 1 variants, the AMG GT Edition 1s will be the first variants of the AMG GT offered to the public.<\/p>\n As a reminder, the entry-level Mercedes-AMG GT delivers a total of 462 hp from its brand new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. By comparison, the AMG GTS pumps out 503 hp. As a result, zero to 100 km\/h is possible in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 310 km\/h. The V8 is particularly ground breaking for its use of dry sump lubrication and its integrally mounted turbochargers. The transmission is a seven-speed dual clutch unit fettled by AMG engineers.<\/p>\n
