Detailed overview
Few modern road cars carry their motorsport lineage as openly as the GT R. Revealed at Goodwood in 2016 and shaped by AMG’s GT3 racing programme, it lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:10.92 and quickly became known as the “Beast of the Green Hell”. Its hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 is mounted behind the front axle and develops 585PS and 700Nm, with drive going to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 0-62mph takes 3.6 seconds and top speed is 198mph.
This car carries the chassis specification enthusiasts seek out: AMG Rear Axle Steering, manually adjustable AMG coil-over suspension with adaptive damping, an electronically controlled rear limited-slip differential and AMG Active Engine Mounts, with a titanium sport exhaust system providing a rich, characterful soundtrack. The MANUFAKTUR Magnetite Black Metallic paint is complemented by yellow brake calipers and a lightweight carbon fibre roof, while the interior is trimmed in Black/Anthracite microfibre and imitation leather, with AMG bucket seats, the AMG microfibre Performance steering wheel, the AMG Interior Night Package, black piano lacquer trim, automatic climate control and a black fabric headliner.
