This model exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and cutting-edge technology that AMG is renowned for. Every element has been crafted to deliver a driving experience that is as thrilling as it is refined.
The AMG GT R is widely recognized as Mercedes-Benz and AMG’s elite performance car. CarSales places this sports car between the Porsche 911 GT3 and the BMW M3 in terms of price, but on par with the 911 for performance, which is a significant statement. The V8 twin-turbo engine is considered one of the modern classic engines and has defined AMG sports cars for many years. It is fast becoming a collectible as we approach an EV future.
The AMG GT R pushes the boundaries by realizing the engine’s full potential, showcasing state-of-the-art suspension and best-in-class handling. This enables some of the most torque you’ll experience both in a straight line and around a track. Relative to its price compared to other more expensive supercars, it offers unmatched bang for buck.
Combine that performance with the stylish interior that AMG has dominated the market with over the last decade, and it’s safe to say this car ticks all the boxes that collectors, enthusiasts, and investors look for. It rates above 9/10 on all reputable car review sources and is overall one of the best cars we have ever seen. No exaggeration.
At the heart of the AMG GT R lies a powerful 4.0L V8 twin-turbo engine, producing an impressive 430 kW and 700 Nm of torque. This potent combination allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.6 seconds, showcasing the raw power and responsiveness that AMG is famous for. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures that gear shifts are both rapid and smooth, enhancing the driving experience whether you’re navigating city streets or taking on winding country roads.
The AMG GT R is engineered for performance enthusiasts who appreciate precision and control. Its rear-wheel drive configuration, coupled with an adaptive suspension system, provides exceptional handling characteristics. The vehicle responds intuitively to driver input, allowing for confident cornering and stability at high speeds. This car is as much at home on the racetrack as it is on the open road, making it a versatile choice for those who seek both thrill and sophistication.
Aesthetically, the AMG GT R is a visual statement, featuring an aggressive front fascia and aerodynamic lines that enhance its sporty profile. The striking Designo Iridium Silver exterior finish sets it apart, while extensive carbon fiber options—including the Carbon Fibre Exterior Package 2, Carbon Fibre Spoiler, and Carbon Fibre Side Mirrors—not only contribute to the car’s aggressive look but also aid in reducing weight and increasing downforce. The prominent rear wing is designed to provide optimal stability at speed, ensuring that performance is matched by functionality.
Step inside the AMG GT R and you are welcomed by a driver-focused cockpit, meticulously crafted with premium materials. The AMG Matt Black Carbon Fibre Interior Pack adds a modern touch to the interior, while carbon fiber door sills enhance both aesthetics and functionality. The seats are upholstered in high-quality leather, offering both comfort and support during spirited drives. The interior layout prioritizes functionality, featuring an intuitive infotainment system that keeps essential controls within easy reach. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster provides real-time information at a glance, while advanced driver assistance systems enhance safety without compromising the thrill of driving.
This highly spec’d car includes a range of modern technological features that enhance the driving experience. The AMG Performance Exhaust System delivers a spine-tingling soundtrack that elevates the excitement of every drive.
Dynamic Select allows drivers to choose from multiple driving modes, tailoring the vehicle’s dynamics to suit their preferences and road conditions. Additionally, the car is equipped with the AMG Track Package, which includes a roll cage, making it ready for track days, though it’s worth noting that this car has never been tracked. The vehicle also features Carbon Ceramic Brakes, which provide superior stopping power and durability.
This particular model has been meticulously maintained, reflecting a commitment to quality that is evident in both its mechanical performance and aesthetic condition. With only 23,000 km on the odometer, it presents an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a nearly-new sports car experience.
