Full spotlight on the Mercedes AMG GT R

You know the Mercedes-AMG GT. Now, let's meet the Mercedes-AMG GT R. Just one extra letter, but it makes all the difference! The Mercedes-AMG GT R is none other than the enhanced version of the AMG GT S, designed to rival the Porsche 911 GT3. Let's take a closer look at this supercar, which deserves a place in a custom-built garage by Innova-Box!

A restyling for a unique design

A few years ago, the Mercedes-AMG GT was the sportiest version in the range with its 510 horsepower, but today the picture has changed. Mercedes is expanding its lineup and demonstrating the full extent of its capabilities with the facelifted Mercedes-AMG GT. To achieve this, the brand's designers drew inspiration from the past, as well as from the influence of the famous American muscle cars of the 1960s. With the Mercedes-AMG GT R, aerodynamics are more prominent than ever. Motorized louvers behind the grille, a movable carbon fiber flap under the engine, a redesigned rear suspension… The AMG GT R looks ready to pounce like a predator. It features an active air control system not only for aerodynamics but also to cool the mechanical components.

Its dimensions? 4.55 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.28 meters high. The Mercedes-AMG GT R is a rear-wheel-drive sports car with a 4.0-liter V8 engine. To boost this sports car, the manufacturer revised the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8. Indeed, while the power output was 510 hp in the GT S, it has been increased to 585 hp in this restyled model. Its performance is just as impressive as the previous version. At startup, its titanium exhausts produce an incredible sound. Its timbre is even more throaty than that of the AMG GT S, and in addition to this incomparable sound, the Mercedes-AMG GT R accelerates like a dragster.

Mercedes AMG GT R: a subtle evolution

Even though the facelift of the sports car is successful, it must be said that the evolution is relatively subtle. The headlights have been subtly redesigned, the rear of the AMG GT adopts a new diffuser, and the exhaust outlets have been revised. To improve its performance on the track, its weight has also been reduced, with the use of carbon fiber for the roof and rear wing. Weighing in at 1,630 kg, the AMG GT R is 15 kg lighter. The aerodynamics are also more pronounced. But, beyond all these details, the Mercedes-AMG GT R looks very similar to the AMG GT.

The restyling is also focused on the interior of this 100% sporty machine. The most significant change concerns the instrumentation, as the Mercedes-AMG GT R goes fully digital. A 12.3-inch screen, visual effects, a touchscreen on the center console… The equipment is significantly more technologically advanced. The Mercedes-AMG GT R is also equipped with manually adjustable bucket seats that give the driver a truly sporty driving position. Finally, everything is controlled from inside: suspension firmness, exhaust note, and so on.

A treasure to preserve

The German manufacturer has truly outdone itself with the facelift of the Mercedes-AMG GT. Style, sound, and performance have all been enhanced, much to the delight of sports car enthusiasts. If you own such a gem, you know it will spend more time in the garage than on the road. As a true connoisseur of high-performance vehicles, you've given it a special place in your garage.
