Today at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the latest in its AMG line, the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe—and yes, that’s the full actual name. Mercedes is getting ultra-specific these days.

This is the first four-door sports coupe from Mercedes’ high-performance Affalterbach division. It’s also the latest car in a recent trend of automakers making and naming four-door vehicles “coupes,” a term that has historically referred to two-door contraptions. (Today in Geneva, BMW debuted the M8 Gran Coupe concept, which also has four doors.)
