2021 Mercedes-AMG GT 53 Exterior
Mercedes hasn't made any changes to the GT 53's appearance and there was no need to. While BMW regularly has to dig deep to conjure up creative explanations for why its newer models look the way they do, the Mercedes design brief seems to be shockingly simple by comparison: just make it pretty. The taut lines of the GT 53 work beautifully from just about every angle. Some of the AMG touches that give it more presence include the Panamericana grille, the multi-stage active rear spoiler, circular quad-exit exhaust outlets, and those fetching 19-inch AMG 10-spoke wheels. The exterior lighting uses LED technology and a power sunroof is standard. A panorama roof and larger 20- or 21-inch wheels are available. The AMG GT 53 and four-door coupes like the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe are reminders of why the concept has only grown in popularity over the last couple of years.

Dimensions
The GT 53's long, wide stance isn't an optical illusion - the dimensions show that it really is, well, long and wide. It measures 199.2 inches in length and has a 116.2-inch wheelbase, which is actually longer than the E-Class wagon on which it's based. Among its competitors, the 4-door GT 53 is marginally longer than the Porsche Panamera. Without the mirrors, it is 76.9 inches wide, but the width grows to 81.5 inches when the GT 53's mirrors are in their usual extended position. The height works out to 57.3 inches. An AMG it may be, but the GT 53's curb weight of 4,553 pounds isn't what you'd associate with a traditional sports car.

Exterior Colors
An expressive vehicle such as this deserves an interesting color palette, and the new 2021 AMG GT 53 has just enough options to satisfy most tastes. The only standard colors are Polar White and Jupiter Red, followed by several metallics that cost $720 each. These are Obsidian Black, Cirrus Silver (a new addition this year), Graphite Grey, and Brilliant Blue. The designo range of colors sees a sharp increase in the price, beginning with Diamond White metallic at $1,515. For $3,950, customers can opt for Selenite Grey Magno, Brilliant Blue Magno, or Graphite Grey Magno. When paired with darker optional wheels, the designo Diamond White metallic looks sensational, but Brilliant Blue is by far the most standout option.
