The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT43 will serve as the entry point to the GT lineup. Rather than making use of the larger car’s V8, this coupe will use a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (with a 48v mild-hybrid system) to produce 416 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. These specs might sound familiar to those up to speed on their AMG news- it’s the same four-cylinder found in the latest C43, albeit with just a hair more horsepower (14 to be exact). 60 mph is a respectable claimed 3.9 seconds, notably due to the way power is delivered- this Mercedes is rear-wheel drive. The GT43 will also make use of the brand’s 9-speed automatic transmission.

Clean windows are an important part of having a safe driving experience. Reduced visibility from dirty windshields and windows can increase the risk of an accident, especially during nighttime situations. Although it’s likely you wash your windows and glass each time you wash your car, sometimes you need a quick touch-up in between washes.

Nissan seems intent on reaffirming that the GT-R lineup holds the best array of colors this side of a Paint-to-Sample 911 with the debut of two special edition variants this week.
