The AMG GT VIN encodes everything from chassis code and engine family through to factory options, production plant and model year.

A few things worth knowing about the AMG GT

The AMG GT replaced the SLS AMG in 2014 and was the second clean-sheet AMG design. The 2020 AMG GT Black Series, with 720 hp from a flat-plane-crank version of the M178 V8, set the production-car Nürburgring lap record at 6:43.616 in 2020, a record later beaten by the Mercedes-AMG One.

How to decode a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT VIN

Every Mercedes-Benz VIN built since 1981 follows the ISO 3779 standard. That gives you 17 alphanumeric characters split into three blocks: the World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1 to 3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4 to 9) and the Vehicle Identifier Section (positions 10 to 17). Here’s what each chunk tells you about your AMG GT.

Positions 1 to 3: World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

WDD on the C190; W1K on the C192 (second generation, 2024+).

Positions 4 to 8: Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS)

C190 (coupe), R190 (roadster), X290 (four-door) chassis codes appear in VDS positions 4 to 8.

Position 9: Check Digit

The check digit comes from a weighted sum of the other 16 characters. Think of it as a self-validating control. If you mistype any single character on your AMG GT VIN, the check digit won’t match and the VIN is flagged as invalid.

Position 10: Model Year

Position 10 tells you the model year using a rolling alphanumeric scheme. A quick Mercedes-Benz cheat sheet: S = 1995, Y = 2000, 5 = 2005, A = 2010, F = 2015, L = 2020, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025, T = 2026.

Position 11: Assembly Plant

Position 11 is typically 'F' (Affalterbach via Sindelfingen).

Positions 12 to 17: Production Sequence Number

The final six digits are the unique serial number stamped on your specific AMG GT as it rolled off the assembly line.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT engine codes

Over the years the AMG GT has been offered with the following engine families: M178 4.0L biturbo V8, M139 four-cylinder hybrid (entry trims), M254 hybrid. Mercedes-Benz engine codes follow a tight naming convention. The letter ‘M‘ denotes a petrol/gasoline engine (think M256, M177, M139), while ‘OM‘ (Oel-Motor) flags a diesel (OM651, OM654, OM656 and so on). Want to know exactly which engine sits under your AMG GT? Decode the VIN above. VDS positions 4 to 8 will give you the exact engine variant.
