Love at first sight: Mercedes-AMG GT R

Are you a Mercedes (AMG) fan? In that case you must enjoy the all the spots and news that you are seeing on our site. Today we are putting a spot of the AMG GT R in the spotlight. This Green Hell Magno colored GT R was spotted in Zurich, and it looks amazing! Once again, the visionaries in Affalterbach have driven a stake into the ground and set the new benchmark for racetrack-bred performance.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R is designed as a track car off the showroom floor, with sinister aesthetics and adrenaline-pumping performance dynamics to match. Its handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine with "hot inside V" configuration grinds out 577 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, and the all-new AMG TRACTION CONTROL with 9 input levels is literally at your fingertips in the center console.

The motorsports technology goes beyond just the engine. Active rear-axle steering turns up to 1.5 degrees of toe angle for increased cornering response and high-speed stability. The light dual-mass flywheel is responsive and ready to handle rigorous torque spikes of transmission kickdowns on-track. Forged cylinder heads are durable and more resistant to heat. And a sophisticated engine management system adapts based on your driving style, reading your throttle inputs, g-force indicators and more.
