Grand Arrival

by
On the weekend of this year’s Macau Grand Prix, Mercedes-Benz launched two of their most exciting new models: the Mercedes-AMG GT and the S-Class Coupé.   The launch event was held on the Friday at the Four Seasons Hotel, followed by a gala dinner at the Venetian Macao on the Saturday night.
 
Special guests included current Mercedes-AMG Driving Academy team drivers Maro Engel and Renger van der Zande, and official AMG spokesperson and two-time Formula One World Champion Mika Hakkinen.  Other guests attending were Mr. Andreas Binder, President & CEO of Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Limited, Mr. Nicholas Speeks, President & CEO of Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Service Co., Ltd., and Mr. Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
 
Triumphantly, Engel and Van der Zande went on to take first and second place in the GT Cup race the following day in their Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3’s.
 
The Hong Kong and Macau region is one of the first markets to receive the all-new AMG GT, after its debut in Germany two months ago.
 
The AMG GT is only the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG, and comes equipped with the newly developed AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, which can generate 462hp and 600Nm of torque, for 0-to-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.8 seconds.  The maximum speed is as high as 310 km/h.  The potent engine is the first sports car engine with internally mounted turbochargers (‘hot inside V’) and dry sump lubrication. 
 
Next to the AMG GT was the S-Class Coupé. With stylistically self-assured presence, exclusive appointments and refined sportiness, this impressive vehicle combines the classic proportions of a large, sporty coupé with modern luxury and pioneering technology.
 
Each headlight is illuminated with 47 pieces of Swarovski crystals, emphasizing its refined nature. With its superb exterior and interior that embody modern luxury, as well as the numerous cutting-edge driver assist systems, this brand new coupé truly shines brightly.
