Mercedes-AMG GT R

The AMG GT R is Mercedes-Benz's current top-of-the-line flagship sports car. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter AMG twin-turbo V8 producing 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It makes the launch from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 198 mph. Power is distributed to the rear wheels through a seven-speed AMG Speedshift dual-clutch. Its carbon fiber rear wing, extensive use of carbon fiber, and more aggressive styling set the GT R apart physically from the other AMG GT trim levels. The example above is featured in Mercedes-AMG's signature Green Hell Magno, which suits the vehicle very well. Pricing for the Mercedes-AMG GT R starts at a shade under $160,000, with option packages increasing the total to around $200,000. In a nutshell, this vehicle looks, feels, and sounds incredible despite not being on the same level as some mid-engine exotics like the Ferrari 488 and Lamborghini Huracan in terms of performance and polarity.
