Mercedes-AMG Unveils Next-Level GT R at 2018 L.A. Auto Show<\/h2>\n

The Mercedes-AMG GT R is the German automaker\u2019s line-topping model, and an improved version of the flagship sports car was recently unveiled at the 2018 L.A. Auto Show. Presented in a motorsport-inspired livery and dubbed the \u2018GT R Pro\u2019, this new iteration is a limited-production, more track-focused variant of the aforementioned.<\/p>\n

Most trackday junkies will appreciate that the differences are obvious at a quick glance, with the GT R Pro benefiting from significant changes which alter the original car\u2019s silhouette. Up front, the GT R Pro is now sporting a massive front splitter and front bumper canards<\/i>, while fender vents<\/i>, a new rear wing and diffuser<\/i>, and carbon fiber wheels<\/i> assert the car\u2019s purpose of existing.<\/p>\n

The new GT R Pro is more than just a fancy (yet functional) bodykit and is also the beneficiary of upgrades that aren\u2019t as easily seen, such as redesigned mechanically adjustable coilovers, carbon ceramic brakes, a carbon fiber torsion bar, and dynamic engine and transmission mounts. <\/i>The GT R Pro continues to employ the same powertrain used in the standard car – a 4.0L V8 twin-turbocharged engine<\/b> which produces 577-horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque<\/b>, good for 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds<\/b> and a top speed of 198 mph<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Mercedes-AMG says that all of the changes made for the GTR Pro are functional, and they\u2019re a step ahead putting in good word to that claim, having already taken the prototype around the Nurburgring Nordschleife and managing an impressive lap time of 7:04.63<\/b><\/a> in spite of less than ideal weather conditions. This is 6 seconds faster than the \u2018normal\u2019 GT R, which set a 7:10.92 lap at the Green Hell back in 2016.<\/p>\n

While there is no word yet on final production numbers, the new 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro looks to be calling out the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Ferrari 488 GTB and McLaren 720S; we expect that pricing is likely to reflect this, when more details on a release date are revealed early next year.<\/p>\n
