The Mercedes-AMG GT-R<\/a> is an absolute monster thanks to its 4.0-litre V8 engine producing 585 hp that is capable of reaching 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and onto a top speed of 198 mph. The AMG GT R was developed at Nurburgring and gets aggressive (wider) fenders at the front and rear and a 57 mm wider track which should aid its handling. A large double diffuser and spoiler combination at the back make it an altogether more menacing looking machine than the AMG GT S<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overall, it looks like an AMG GT3 race car to our eyes and that\u2019s not a bad thing. Larger openings create better cooling for the V8 engine. The changes aren\u2019t just fixed either. Many of the aerodynamics are active including a venturi tunnel hidden beneath the front skirt. Vertical louvres can also be opened and closed to improve airflow. The roof of the AMG GT-R is carbon fiber.<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 has been boosted 585bhp and 513lb ft of torque thanks to upgraded turbos running a higher boost pressure. As before, power is sent to the rear via a transaxle seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Both the software and the ratios have been updated to aid in performance and drivability. All new adaptive coilovers, thicker rear anti-roll bar and 390mm front\/360mm rear brake discs (larger carbon ceramics are optional) with fade-resistant pads round out the package.<\/p>\n

\"2017<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The GT R employs various weight saving strategies, including but not limited to the use of carbon fiber in the construction of the front wings, a carbon fiber prop-shaft and forged wheels.<\/p>\n
