Set to hit US dealers this summer, the new
Mercedes-AMG GT R will cost upwards of US$ 157,000, in both Coupe and Roadster
form.
The GT R version will take its rightful place on top
of the Mercedes-AMG GT product range, featuring motorsport technology developed
on one of the most demanding race tracks in the world, the Nurburgring
Nordschleife.
Powering the Mercedes-AMG GT R is a 4.0-liter
biturbo V8 engine, rated at 585 PS and 700 Nm of torque. Thanks to these
performance figures, the car is able to accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds before
maxing out at 318 km/h.
In other words, it's faster than the Mercedes-AMG GT
S by 8 km/h and quicker to 100 km/h by 0.2 seconds. Features include the
extensively modified suspension, active aerodynamics, active rear-wheel
steering, nine-way adjustable traction control and intelligent lightweight
construction.
