Key Features
Engine: The heart of the GT R is a handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 twin-turbocharged engine with dry-sump lubrication, producing 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.
Performance: It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h).
Aerodynamics: The car features advanced, active aerodynamics, including an active front underbody profile that automatically moves downward at speed to create a Venturi effect, reducing front-axle lift and "sucking" the car to the road. It also has an active air management system with vertical louvers and a large, manually adjustable rear wing to optimize downforce and cooling.
Chassis and Handling: The GT R utilizes an intelligent mix of lightweight materials, including aluminum alloys for the chassis and body, carbon fiber for the front fenders, roof, and a stiffening tunnel brace, and magnesium for the front deck. It features an AMG coil-over suspension with adaptive damping and, a first for an AMG model, active rear-wheel steering for enhanced agility and stability.
Traction Control: The car is equipped with a motorsports-derived, nine-stage AMG Traction Control system, which allows the driver to precisely control rear-axle slip in "ESP OFF" mode.
Design: It is visually distinguished by a wider body, flared wheel arches, and the aggressive AMG Panamericana grille with 15 vertical fins, inspired by the AMG GT3 race car. The interior features a driver-focused cockpit with AMG Performance seats and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel.
The Mercedes-AMG GT R is essentially a street-legal race car, bringing a significant amount of motorsport technology and feel to a production vehicle.
