Description
With just 6,080 km, this 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT R presents a rare opportunity to experience one of the marque’s most focused modern performance cars. Developed extensively at the Nürburgring, the GT R was created as a road-going machine with genuine track capability, and its dramatic proportions, Panamericana grille, wide stance, fixed rear wing, and muscular bodywork reflect that purpose.
Behind the front axle sits a handcrafted 4.0 litre twin turbocharged V8 producing 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, or 700 Nm. Power reaches the rear wheels through a rapid seven speed dual clutch automatic transmission, delivering a factory claimed 0 to 60 mph time of approximately 3.5 seconds and a top speed near 198 mph. Its petrol powertrain combines ferocious acceleration with the deep, unmistakable voice that has become a signature of AMG.
The GT R’s engineering goes well beyond its engine. Active rear axle steering improves agility at lower speeds and stability when moving quickly, while electronically controlled traction management, an electronically controlled limited slip differential, and adjustable suspension help tailor the car to the road or circuit. Active aerodynamics manage airflow beneath the car, and the manually adjustable rear wing adds downforce at speed. Lightweight construction keeps listed curb weight near 3,594 pounds, helping sharpen every steering response.
Mercedes-AMG produced approximately 750 GT R examples worldwide for 2019, making this car genuinely exclusive, with fewer than 10,000 built that year. It is a significant chapter in AMG history, combining motorsport inspired technology, rear wheel drive balance, and everyday road presence in a two seat coupe designed to make every drive feel like an event.
