Mercedes-AMG continues to grow and is expanding
the top end of its product range with the introduction
of the new AMG GT R. “Our sports-car and performance
brand AMG has its roots in motorsport and, ever since its
formation, has repeatedly faced up to the competition
on the racetrack.
These genes are particularly prevalent in the new AMG
GT R. Boasting a wealth of technological innovations,
the new top-of-the-range model is proof of the close
collaboration between our constructors of racing cars
and road-going vehicles,” states Professor Thomas Weber,
Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG,
responsible for Group Research and Mercedes Benz Cars
Development.
“With the new AMG GT R, we have reached the next level
of driving performance. This road-going sports car with
motor-racing genes and innovative technical solutions
o ffers an ultimate driving experience that allows people
to feel our motorsport origins in every fibre. It combines
the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3 racing car with the
everyday practicality of the AMG GT. Those with petrol
in their veins will be thrilled by the radical longitudinal
and lateral acceleration, the precise turn-in, and the
sensational grip. We have modified all performancerelevant components and linked them together
intelligently for maximum driving dynamics,” says Tobias
Moers, CEO of Mercedes AMG GmbH.
