The plant will be manufacturing the 4-door version of the AMG GT, both as ICE and hybrid versions. The start of production is scheduled for the second half of 2023 at the Uusikaupunki car plant.

ArrayValmet Automotive has already started AMG GT-related manufacturing engineering. As part of the project, the paint shop process will be revised to allow several special coatings.

Valmet Automotive is proud to have received this order because the Mercedes-Benz brand stands for the most desirable vehicles in the world. With the Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, Uusikaupunki is continuing a long tradition as a manufacturer of high-quality sports cars and further diversifying its cooperation with the Mercedes-Benz Group. The AMG GT 4-Door Coupé is the fourth model that Valmet Automotive produces for Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
