The GT's exterior design was kept similar to that of the preceding SLS AMG, with wide wheel arches, lower bodywork, and fastback sloping roofline of the SLS AMG, but using conventional forward-opening doors instead of the iconic gullwing style pioneered by the 300 SL in the 1950s. It also employed an upgraded and shortened version of the Transaxle Spaceframe platform used by the SLS.{{cite web | url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1109798_how-the-mercedes-benz-sls-amg-evolved-into-the-mercedes-amg-gt | title=How the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG evolved into the Mercedes-AMG GT | date=10 April 2017 }}

Shortly after its introduction, Mercedes-AMG CEO at the time, Tobias Moers promised a Black Series variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT.{{cite web |url=http://wot.motortrend.com/1410_amg_boss_mercedes_amg_gt_to_spawn_gt3_race_street_versions.html |last=Ayapana |first=Erick |title=AMG Boss: Mercedes-AMG GT to Spawn GT3 Race, Street Versions |website=Motor Trend |date=24 October 2014 |access-date=25 October 2014}} The new high performance variant was called the AMG GT R.{{cite web |url=http://www.arodmercedesbenz.com/129900-is-the-cost-of-the-new-mercedes-amg-gt-s.html |website=www.arodmercedesbenz.com |title=$129,900 is the cost of the new Mercedes-AMG GT S |type=press release |date=29 January 2015 |access-date=12 February 2015 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20150212135640/http://www.arodmercedesbenz.com/129900-is-the-cost-of-the-new-mercedes-amg-gt-s.html |archive-date=12 February 2015 |url-status=dead }}

The Mercedes-AMG family was given a facelift in 2017, along with the introduction of the GT C roadster variant and the Edition 50 model, which is a limited-edition derivative of the GT C variant. The key improvements made as part of the facelift include increased power output from the M178 engine for the GT and GT S variants (10 kW and 9 kW respectively){{Cite news|last=Lette van Oostvoorne |first=Nick |url=https://www.carwow.co.uk/news/2017-mercedes-amg-gt-facelift-complete-guide-3343|title=2017 Mercedes AMG GT facelift – complete guide|work=carwow|access-date=2020-11-29|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180205000835/https://www.carwow.co.uk/news/2017-mercedes-amg-gt-facelift-complete-guide-3343 |archive-date=2018-02-05}} and the inclusion of the 'Panamericana' grille from the GT3, GT4 and GT R variants as standard equipment for all variants.{{Cite news|url=https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/mercedes-benz/vehicles/passenger-cars/amg-gt/more-sports-cars-from-mercedes-amg-on-50th-anniversary/|title=More sports cars from Mercedes-AMG on 50th anniversary.|date=2017-01-09|work=mercedes-benz.com|access-date=2018-02-04|language=en-US}}{{clear left}}

The GT uses a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with the engine positioned inside of the vehicle's wheelbase (behind the front axis). The spaceframe chassis and body are made out of aluminium alloys, while the trunk lid is made of steel and the hood is made of magnesium. The suspension system is a double wishbone unit at the front and rear, with forged aluminium wishbones and hub carriers.

The car is powered by a 4.0-litre M178 twin-turbocharged V8 engine. The engine is in "hot inside V" configuration—with exhaust manifolds and turbochargers inside the cylinder banks to reduce turbo lag—and uses dry-sump lubrication. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT dual-clutch transmission; the GT S variant employs an electronically controlled mechanical limited-slip differential.{{cite web|url = http://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/DigitalAssets/AboutUs/PressReleases/US_%20Release_%202016_%20Mercedes_AMG_%20GT.pdf |title=The new Mercedes-AMG GT |website=mbusa.com |publisher=Mercedes-Benz USA |date=9 September 2014 |access-date=14 September 2014}} In a road test executed by Car and Driver, the GT S accelerated from 0–{{convert|97|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} in 3.0 seconds, completed the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds and attained a top speed of {{cvt|193|mph|kph|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}.{{cite web |url=http://media.caranddriver.com/files/2016-mercedes-amg-gt-s2016-mercedes-amg-gt-s-comparo.pdf |title=Car and Driver track sheet—Mercedes-AMG GT S V8 biturbo |website=Car and Driver |date=16 March 2015 |access-date=14 July 2015}}

The GT is the entry level variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT family. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of {{cvt|340|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|443|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} of torque, with the key differences between this and its more expensive siblings being a mechanical limited-slip differential, an absorbent glass mat battery, the lack of the "Race Mode" setting in the AMG Dynamic Select adaptive drivetrain system, the lack of the AMG Ride Control adaptive suspensive system, and a passive AMG Sport Exhaust System. Keyless-Go is also an optional feature, as opposed to standard equipment. The GT is equipped with 19-inch wheels at the front and rear.

The GT S is a more highly equipped variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of {{cvt|375|kW|PS hp}} and {{cvt|480|lbft|Nm|0|order=flip}} of torque. The key mechanical differences the GT S gains over the GT include an electronically controlled limited-slip differential, "Race Mode" and "Race Start" mode settings in the AMG Dynamic Select adaptive drivetrain system, AMG Ride Control adaptive suspensive system, an AMG Performance Exhaust System with dynamic flaps, and a lithium-ion battery. Keyless-Go is standard equipment, as is a staggered set of wheels (19-inch at the front, 20-inch at the rear).

As with many other recent Mercedes-AMGs, at the time of introduction a limited production "Edition 1" series was issued of the GT S. 375 examples were sold worldwide, and include a gloss black aerodynamic set including a front splitter, lower wheelwell extensions, a carbon fibre roof, a fixed rear wing, red interior accents and red brake calipers, and various other extras.{{cite web | work = Automobile | url = http://www.automobilemag.com/news/2016-mercedes-amg-gt-kicks-off-with-edition-1-model/ | first = Joseph | last = Capparella | title = 2016 Mercedes-AMG GT Kicks Off with Edition 1 Model | date = 2014-10-06 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171229233302/http://www.automobilemag.com/news/2016-mercedes-amg-gt-kicks-off-with-edition-1-model/ | archive-date = 2017-12-29 | publisher = TEN Publishing }}

The GT C is a performance oriented variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of {{cvt|410|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} and {{cvt|502|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}} of torque. While the GT C retains the key mechanical differences the GT S gains over the GT, it also has a wider body ({{cvt|79|in|mm|0|abbr=on|order=flip}}) and active rear steering, which the GT S does not have (even as options). In the United States, the Lane Tracking and AMG Dynamic Plus option packages are standard equipment on the GT C.

A limited-edition model, the Edition 50, was released as part of the debut of the GT C variant at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The Edition 50 features: a choice of two shades of matte paint known as designo Graphite Grey Magno and designo Cashmere White Magno; black chrome exterior trim, headlight surrounds and forged / cross-spoke wheels; a two-tone silver pearl or black against grey quilted-leather interior which features a micro-suede wrapped steering wheel; and, "Edition 50" and "1 of 500" lettering on the steering wheel bezel and 12 o'clock mark in silver pearl. In the United States, the Edition 50 is limited in production to 50 coupes and 50 roadsters. Globally, the Edition 50 is limited to 500 units, which explains the "1 of 500" on the steering wheel.{{cite web|url=https://www.pistonheads.com/news/mercedes/mercedes-amg-gt-c-edition-50-review/36717|title=Mercedes-AMG GT C Edition 50: Review {{!}} PistonHeads|website=www.pistonheads.com|access-date=2018-02-04}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.caranddriver.com/news/2018-mercedes-amg-gt-gt-c-gt-s-photos-and-info-news|title=2018 Mercedes-AMG GT / GT C / GT S Photos and Info – News – Car and Driver|work=Car and Driver|access-date=2018-02-04|language=en}}

The GT R is a high-performance variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT and was introduced at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 24 June 2016. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of {{convert|430|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,250 rpm and {{convert|700|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 5,500 rpm. The GT R accelerates from 0 to {{convert|100|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in 3.6 seconds and has a claimed top speed of {{convert|198|mph|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-amg-gt-r-revealed|title=Mercedes-AMG GT R revealed|date=24 June 2016|first=Greg|last=Kable|publisher=Autocar|access-date=24 June 2016}}

While the GT R retains the key mechanical differences the GT C gains over the GT S, it also gains manually adjustable coilover springs (in conjunction with the AMG Ride Control suspension of the base models), an active underbody fairing, a manually adjustable rear wing, and a 9-mode AMG Traction Control system. As befitting of a high-performance variant, the GT R loses Keyless-Go, the integrated garage-door opener, the heated and power-folding side mirrors, the auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors and reverts to the basic light-weight 4-speaker audio system that the GT comes with, but these features can still be added as options.

When it was launched, the GT R had several cosmetic changes compared with the standard car, notably the vertical slats in the front grille, an adjustable rear wing, new front air intakes and new front and rear diffusers. The styling of the GT R is more comparable to that of the AMG GT3 race car. However, the base GT variant gained several of these cosmetic changes as part of a mild facelift in the 2017 model year. The GT R went on sale in November 2016, with deliveries beginning in 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.topspeed.com/cars/mercedes/2018-mercedes-amg-gt-r/ |title=2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R |publisher=Top Speed |date=2017-04-06 |access-date=2018-08-04}} For the 2018 Formula One World Championship, the GT R became the official Formula 1 safety car. During the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix, the Safety Car ran a red livery rather than the traditional silver to commemorate Scuderia Ferrari's 1,000th Grand Prix start. For the 2021 F1 season, the GT R Safety Car permanently wears a red livery (along with the Mercedes F1 Team's sponsor CrowdStrike) rather than the traditional silver to increase the chances of drivers seeing the Safety Car in poor visibility. It will also share the role with the Aston Martin Vantage.

It completed a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife track in 7:10.92, in a test conducted by German magazine Sport Auto,{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AtXzca-zSY | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211117/7AtXzca-zSY| archive-date=2021-11-17 | url-status=live|title=Mercedes-AMG GT R 7.10,92 min Nordschleife HOT LAP sport auto World's Exclusive First Test |publisher=YouTube |date=31 August 2016 |access-date=4 August 2018}}{{cbignore}} making it the fastest rear wheel driven road-legal production car around the track at the time{{cite web | url=https://www.evo.co.uk/mercedes/amg-gt-r/18585/mercedes-amg-gt-r-sets-new-sports-car-record-at-the-n-rburgring | title=Mercedes-AMG GT R sets new sports car record at the Nürburgring }} and the 5th fastest lap time for a road-legal production vehicle around the track at the time.{{Citation needed|date=March 2020}}

Mercedes-AMG introduced the GT R Pro at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. The GT R Pro is a more track focused variant of the AMG GT line up and based on the GT R. This variant would be limited for 750 units worldwide with a starting price tag of USD $200,645. The GT R Pro retains all key mechanical differences of the GT R gains over the GT C with other minor upgrades, the GT R Pro uses the same engine and power output of the GT R, which is rated at {{convert|430|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,250 rpm and {{convert|700|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 5,500 rpm. And retains the same 0 to {{convert|100|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} time 3.6 seconds and the top speed of {{convert|319|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

New upgrades includes, new manually adjustable coil-over suspension setup, lightweight anti-roll bars, electronically controlled dynamic engine and transmission mounts, GT R's optional carbon-fiber roof and carbon ceramic brakes became standard, new carbon-fibre bucket seats, lightweight forged wheels 19-inch on front and 20-inch on rear which were exclusive for the GT R Pro, same Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 semi-slick tires which were also used in the GT R, new carbon-fibre braced active aerodynamic front splitter and canards, new front fenders with GT3 inspired vents, new rear diffuser with canards, new side skirts, updated rear wing with a small gurney for increase downforce while reducing weight.

Interior upgrades includes, a 10.25-inch digital instrument binnacle and infotainment system, a Burmester surround sound system, keyless go and parking assist. On exterior, new racing stripes offered in Gloss Light Green when combined with the Selenite Gray Magno color exterior, or stripes in Matte Dark Gray with all other exterior colors. The unique accent stripes can also offered for the GT R Pro.

For the GT R Pro, Mercedes-AMG also offered an optional track package which adds a full steel roll-cage, four-point harnesses and a 2 kg fire extinguisher. With all these upgrades curb weight has been reduced by {{convert|25|kg|lb|abbr=on}}, and with track package equipped {{convert|40|kg|lb|abbr=on}} of weight reduced over the GT R.

In November 2018, Mercedes-AMG conducted a test at Nürburgring Nordschleife for the new GT R Pro, and the car completed a lap time, driven by Maro Engel, set a lap time of 7:04.632 minutes around the track, making it the 8th fastest lap time for a road-legal production vehicle around the track at the time.{{Cite web|title=New hardcore Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro prices announced|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/amg-gt/103082/new-mercedes-amg-gt-r-pro-prices-and-specifications-announced|access-date=2021-09-12|website=Auto Express|language=en}}{{Cite web|title=2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro priced from ‭$200,645|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1120033_2020-mercedes-amg-gt-r-pro-priced-from-200645|access-date=2021-09-12|website=Motor Authority|date=16 July 2019 |language=en}}

The GT Black Series is a high-performance variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT and was officially revealed on Mercedes-AMG's YouTube channel on 9 July 2020. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of {{convert|537|kW|PS hp|0|abbr=on}} at 6,700–6,900 rpm and {{convert|800|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 2,000–6,000 rpm. Referred to as the M178 LS2, the engine has a slightly higher redline at 7,200 rpm compared to the GT R's 7,000 rpm, and uses a flat-plane crankshaft instead of a cross-plane crankshaft, turning out in different firing order. Additionally, the M178 LS2 uses a smaller compressor wheel, resulting in an increase in boost from the GT R's {{convert|19.6|to|24.6|psi|disp=flip|abbr=on}}.

The suspension is unique, with a carbon-fibre anti-roll bar with two adjustment settings for the front axle, and an iron anti-roll bar with three adjustment settings for the rear axle. Like previous Black Series vehicles, the camber is manually adjustable for both the front and rear axles. Handling has been improved with carbon-fibre panels at the front and rear, as well as carbon-ceramic brake rotors and Black Series specific brake pads. The wing has an active aero flap, and contributes to a total maximum downforce of more than {{convert|882|lb|kg|abbr=on|order=flip}} at {{convert|155|mph|km/h|abbr=on|order=flip}}. The Michelin Pilot Cup 2 R tires are specific to the car, and are available in M01A soft and M02 hard compounds.{{Cite web |last=Kierstein |first=Alex |date=14 July 2020 |title=2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series First Look: Meet the Most Powerful AMG V-8 to Date |url=https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-mercedes-amg-gt-black-series-first-look-photos-details-specs/ |access-date=16 July 2020 |work=Motor Trend}}

Carbon-fibre is used extensively for most of the body, including the hood, roof, hatch and underbody. The exterior gains an enlarged grille, based on the Mercedes-AMG GT3, large air outlets on the hood, manually adjustable front splitter, and upgraded rear wing as part of a major aerodynamic kit. The interior features standard AMG performance bucket seats, and uses microfiber for the steering wheel, door and instrument panels.{{Cite web |last=Szymkowski |first=Sean |date=14 July 2020 |title=2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series busts in with 730 hp and GT3-derived aero |url=https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2021-mercedes-amg-gt-black-series-hp-gt3-aero/ |access-date=16 July 2020 |work=Roadshow by CNET}}

The second generation AMG GT was unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance on 19 August 2023, eleven months after the previous generation was discontinued, and production began the following month. It is offered as a coupe, and uses the same platform as the new SL roadster. It is longer than its predecessor, which allows for a 2+2 cabin setup.

At launch, a 4.0 L V8 engine was offered in two variants, the 469 hp GT55, and the 577 hp GT63, both with four-wheel drive. In 2024, two powertrains were added: a plug-in hybrid version of the V8 (GT 63 S E Performance) with four-wheel drive, and a 2.0 L four-cylinder (GT43) with rear-wheel drive. All powertrains are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.

An updated version of the GT3 was introduced at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in June 2019 for the 2020 season of the FIA GT3 category. New technologies include an automatic data logger and analysis system, a function to automatically start the engine when the car is lowered from its in-built air jacks along with new brake and traction control systems. The design was also updated in line with the design of the new design update of the AMG GT road car with the changes being the new headlamps and the grille with the latter providing better protection for the radiator. The front splitter and rear wing were tweaked in order for faster adjustments. The car uses the same 6.2-litre V8 engine as the previous model rather than the 4.0-litre V8 engine of the road car, its engineers stating the user friendliness and reliability of the engine as the main factor of its retention.{{cite web|url=https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1123722_mercedes-amg-rolls-out-a-sharper-gt3-race-car-for-2020-motorsport-season|title=Mercedes-AMG rolls out a sharper GT3 race car for 2020 motorsport season|date=21 June 2019|first=Viknesh|last=Vijayenthiran|publisher=Motor Authority|access-date=7 July 2019}}
