2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO 4.0L V8 7AT RWD (585 HP)

Vehicle Overview

There are so many letters to name a car that, in fact, is a race car with number plates on it. We heard that before many times, but this is serious. The amount of carbon-fiber used for this vehicle is far beyond a lot of other sports cars.

The limited-edition Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO had a further improved driving dynamics, in particular on the racetrack. The experience gained from the AMG GT3 and AMG GT4 racing cars was influential in its development. The improvements from motorsport can be clustered in four areas: suspension, lightweight construction, aerodynamics and appearance.

Every aerodynamic detail is functional: from the front and rear splitter to the air-extracting vents on the front fenders and the adjustable wing. Every detail is fully functional.

The suspension can be adjusted in stiffness and height, the brakes are carbo-ceramic and inside, behind the fixed carbon-fiber seats, there is a roll-cage. Underneath the car, there are some shields and carbon-fiber parts to stiffen the bodywork even more. The front anti-roll bar is made out of carbon-fiber and it is adjustable. The rear one was kept as steel, to balance the vehicle. That is also adjustable. The roof is carbon fiber, not for the stiffer body but to reduce weight, especially on the upper part of the vehicle. This car is not made for shopping, but for lapping race-tracks. It even comes with its own fire-extinguisher!
