Similarly to the GT63 and GT55, the GT53 will have simulated engine sounds and transmission action. However, unlike those cars that reproduce V8 noises to some degree, the GT53 is meant to sound like a six-cylinder. Specifically, it's supposed to mimic the soundtrack of the old turbocharged and supercharged 3.0-liter engine from the AMG E53 (and other models), which is sort of neat. While there's obviously no engine under the hood of the AMG GT53, Mercedes did do its best to harness the noise of the E53 Coupe, recording its engine sounds with 16 microphones mounted inside and outside the car. Mercedes-AMGThe GT53 also gets the simulated gear changes, and they're operated by the same steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles.
