This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 2026 on Saturday the 16th of May, Sywell Aerodrome, Sywell, Northampton, NN6 0BN. , Officially launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 2014, the MercedesAMG GT is historically significant as only the second sports car developed entirely by Affalterbachbased AMG, the first being the SLS AMG. Styled in house by a team headed by Robert Lenik, the MercedesAMG GT restated the traditional 'long bonnet, small cabin, short tail' sports car look in a manner suggesting muscular horsepower whilst retaining all the elegance associated with MercedesBenz. Although it used conventional doors rather than the SLS's 'Gullwing' type the latter first seen on the legendary MercedesBenz 300 SL coup of the 1950s the GT featured numerous styling references to its illustrious distant ancestor and was an instant hit with buyers..Boasting a chassis/body of mainly aluminium construction, the GT is powered by a handbuilt M178 V8 engine. Positioned well back in the wheelbase for better weight distribution, this mighty power plant produces 469bhp in the mainstream model with 515 horsepower on offer in the AMG GTS, as seen here. The transmission consists of a sevenspeed dualclutch gearbox incorporated into a rear transaxle, again with ideal weight distribution in mind (Mercedes claim what it calls an optimum 47/53% front/rear split). Other key mechanical differences the GTS gains over the GT include an electronically controlled limitedslip differential, 'Race Mode' and 'Race Start' settings in the AMG Dynamic Select adaptive drivetrain, AMG Ride Control adaptive suspension, and an AMG Performance Exhaust System.The Premium equipment line enhances the standard GTS specification with several highend features including a Panoramic glass roof, Burmester Surround Sound System, KeylessGo, Reversing Camera/Parktronic, and the Memory Package which includes electrically adjustable seats, steering column, and mirrors with memory functions.This stunning , UKsupplied, righthand drive example dates from 2017 and is superbly presented in Brilliant Blue Metallic over a classic MB black Nappa leather interior and sits on 19inch front and 20inch rear AMG forged crossspoke alloy wheels, fitted with 265/35 and 295/20 tyres respectively. In addition to the 'Premium' package detailed above, it was ordered from new with the AMG Silver Chrome Package (highgloss black air inlet and outlet grilles, bonnet and wing vents, a diamond grille with chrome pins, and silver chrome detailing to the front splitter and rear diffuser) and additionally spec'd with the AMG HighGloss CarbonFibre Trim package which included further silver chrome and carbon fibre detailing. We understand that, when new ,the purchase price was a substantial £116,475.At the time of photography the odometer indicated just 19,444 miles with only 500 of these being covered by our vendor who modestly admits "I purchased the car in July last year, a friend of mine has one and told me how great they are to drive. I must say he was right, the car responds to everything you would wish for, certainly handling and performance being two major ones but, to be frank, its a little bit to fast for me at my age." The car was serviced by the supplying dealer prior to our vendor's purchase (July 2025) and he subsequently had it checked by MercedesBenz at Worcester just to check everything was good. That report will accompany the car together with five service reports (with mileage) from 2018 to 2024. The cars last visit to Mercedes was in February 2026 to fit a new front view camera. The attractive registration number 'AM53 GTS' remains with the car.On the road, the AMG GTS shines with its precise and responsive handling and the driving experience is visceral and engaging, amplified by the V8s intoxicating roar, an intoxicating amalgam of hardcore performance and premium luxury. Guided at less than 50% of its new price, this beautiful, low mileage example seems to offer remarkable value for money.
