Drive is sent to the rear via a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch transmission (DCT), enabling it to rocket from 0-100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds before reaching an electronically-limited top speed of 310 km/h.

The GT S is priced from a cool RM1,150,000, rising to RM1,200,000 for the limited-run [color=#9900 !important] Edition 1. Both prices are on-the-road, inclusive of [color=#9900 !important] GST, without insurance. Standard equipment includes an AMG performance exhaust with fully-variable flaps, AMG Ride Control variable damping and an electronic locking differential. Spec the Edition 1 and you get the Dynamic Package thrown in as well. This incorporates dynamic engine and transmission mounts, a “Race” mode for the AMG Dynamic Select system, stiffer suspension, higher negative camber on the front wheels as well as sports speed-sensitive steering. Also included with the Edition 1 is a black aerodynamic package (larger front splitter, front wheel arch flics, black side sill trim and an enormous fixed rear wing), a carbon-fibre roof, an exterior Night package (high-gloss black diamond grille, wing mirrors, rear wing, tailpipes) and the wheels finished in black with a high-sheen finish.
