"With the new AMG GT R, we have reached the next level of driving performance. It combines the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3 racing car with the everyday practicality of the AMG GT" - Tobias Moers, AMG CEO We hope you guys enjoyed that speed review of the Beast of the Green Hell! :)
2:14 "It is a better engine in every conceivable way than from the previous naturally aspirated engine" - That's absolutely correct, people criticise the new 4.0L engine a lot, but when you get behind the wheel of one, you start to appreciate just how damn good it is. Instant torque (literally feels like a supercharged engine), incredibly efficient for a V8, loud muscular sound with pops/bangs and when you put your foot down, it just keeps going. It's a very capable engine!
Fluterra you have to drive an AMG with the new engine to truly understand. Also I spoke to an AMG representative about the GT3 model, he stated that the 4.0l engine needs to be approved before Mercedes can use it in the GT3 car - it has nothing to do with reliability or power. The new 4.0l is more than capable enough.
Fluterra the old N/A engine was already homologated for racing in the GT3 series from many seasons ago, while the current twin turbo V8 had not been developed for racing.
I drive both engines frequently, both the AMG GTR and the SLS and the SLS engine is more reactive and lively. It is there right under your foot immediately. The GTR has some good feel within the possibilities for a turbo car, but only 20 % of torque is under your foot immediately..if you need more you will have lag..and I mean at least 0.5 seconds of lag..I have to say however that the work done to make the 4.0 liter engine have a good pedal feel and linear depth was very good. You can explore every cm of the pedal depth until the end..while in the SLS it is more immediate and less deep. Both engines are amazing, the SLS is clearly more crisp. Also, relatively annoying in the new 4.0 is the torque decrease after 5.000 rpms..you do not feel it at 2nd and 3rd gear, but you do feel it in 4th and 5th and 6th and 7th..The SLS engine is an absolute monster and with a ECU only tune it will keep up with AMG GTR side by side all the way accelerating
Great review. I've driven one of these only very briefly, at Millbrook. I'm curious to see how they drive on the roads, because it felt VERY stiff to me. Possibly too much for bumpy B-Roads?
Hope there is a good Black Series with an authentic 'Black Series' theme. Loved all of the other black series, and hope that won't end soon... High standards have been set
great great video. gotta ask as i am considering this vehicle, preowned- did this car turn into a reliability nightmare?? assuming u kept it long enough. i have examined a lot of the service records on these 2018 gtrs and they seem to live in the shop, with all sorts of problems, some having had even transmissions that needed replacement.
I agree, the engine is incredible, but having recently driven a sl 63 with the 6.3(6.2) n/a there is just something about the high pitched whine and the low grumbling exhaust that is truly awesome
Love the AMG GTR, it's a stunning car! Got the chance the drive one recently at Mercedes-Benz World (when you were out in Dubai), absolutely loved it!! The V8 engine is thunderous, it sounds so damn good and the turbo is literally non exinsistant - I'm truly amazed by this, as I've driven the CLS63 AMG with the 5.5 engine which had a fair of turbo lag.
Hello mr amg, I’m looking to purchase a gtr but I can’t find any information regarding the difference between an edition 1 gtr and and a regular gtr. Do you have any idea?
Good review! Question: how would you compare those AMG bucket seats to AMG Performance seats which are also an option for the GTR? EDIT: Found your answer in the 'Two GT R's + SLS' video haha. Thanks!
Raz, great job.... this thing is wild, sounds devilish, and looks stunning especially from aerial views. The mention of the BlackSeries version to come gives me goosebumps. Keep these coming!!
Great review as always. Would be great to have another review of the GTR on track (I mean a 'real' long track like Silverstone and not the one from the Mercedes dealer where you picked up the car).
I upgraded from the old c63 to the new c63s, the only thing the old one has over it is the fact you could rev much louder at a standstill. But anyway no need for you guys to listen to actual owners.
connor Ringland fair enough my bad. Just bored of all the comments from kids about how the old engine was way better when it is not in any measurable way apart from traffic light rev offs
They needa make the black series AWD with drift mood like they r doing for some of the new amgs an they needa make it lighter way lighter an with a hole lot more hp cuz we all know the potential that 4.0 liter v8 has. But other then that i loved the vid keep them coming 👌🏽👍🏽
Is there really gonna be a new version of AMG GT that sits higher than the GTR? Has that been confirmed, if yes when will it be revealed? Because I am going to buy a GTR next week however if that s true I might reconsider. Many thanks.
Mercedes copied the rear end from 1980s or 1990 Porsche 928s. What do you think? It's not a bad thing as that was a great looking car! Don't get me wrong l love Mercedes and have 2. It's the finest vehicle can get!
Just not that impressed, it really sounds obnoxious just another track car that only works on the track representing 2% of buyers In conclusion it’s a 120k dollar garage Queen. Still take a BMW M5 for the price, just as fast, not obnoxiously loud and a far better ride. A drivers car !
A heavy boat a drivers car s lol it’ a luxury car made to drive fast to church or to the movies with your wife lol. The amg gtr is a race car for the street. Handles much better than a m5 could even dream of doing.

Love the shorter videos bruh. Seeing a 20 odd min video can be a deterrent sometimes. Good content, keep it coming !
*Totally agree! : )*

Most people actually dont criticize the new engine and actually say it's very impressive for a turbocharged engine
Fluterra the old N/A engine was already homologated for racing in the GT3 series from many seasons ago, while the current twin turbo V8 had not been developed for racing.
Fluterra no everyone says it doesn't feel like a turbocharged engine

Excellent review, opinion, and camera angles abound. Thanks! Love that green GTR.
One of my dream cars
*Me toooo*
Great review. I've driven one of these only very briefly, at Millbrook. I'm curious to see how they drive on the roads, because it felt VERY stiff to me. Possibly too much for bumpy B-Roads?
Parking in multi-story car-parks is more of an issue.
IMO amg has the best exhaust crackle
Hope there is a good Black Series with an authentic 'Black Series' theme. Loved all of the other black series, and hope that won't end soon... High standards have been set
GT R is fast. And around corners quick. Sound is amazing and the looks are sick.
😂 Nice poem dude
*True that -* 😂
Love these short sweet reviews Raz 👍🏽. Keep them coming 🙌🏽
Thanks Sid! Loved the Abarth video :)
great great video. gotta ask as i am considering this vehicle, preowned- did this car turn into a reliability nightmare?? assuming u kept it long enough. i have examined a lot of the service records on these 2018 gtrs and they seem to live in the shop, with all sorts of problems, some having had even transmissions that needed replacement.

First time watching your channel really enjoyed it.I also love the drone footage cool episode 👍
Do you think we'll see the '73' version in the GT lineup or current models updated in the future with the upcoming V8 Hybrid powertrain?
Love the AMG GTR, it's a stunning car! Got the chance the drive one recently at Mercedes-Benz World (when you were out in Dubai), absolutely loved it!!

The L.U.i DOES SALUTE YOU !!!
Sounds nearly as loud as my C43 😂.
(Joke) this sounds insane !
*That exhaust sounds great!!!*
Hello mr amg, I’m looking to purchase a gtr but I can’t find any information regarding the difference between an edition 1 gtr and and a regular gtr. Do you have any idea?
I agree with you on all of it but the sound. That 6.2l sounded much better. Deeper, more gnarly grunt.
Good review! Question: how would you compare those AMG bucket seats to AMG Performance seats which are also an option for the GTR? EDIT: Found your answer in the 'Two GT R's + SLS' video haha. Thanks!
it’s look good and sound amazing from the exhaust.
Lol that safety belt is hilarious
Raz, great job.... this thing is wild, sounds devilish, and looks stunning especially from aerial views. The mention of the BlackSeries version to come gives me goosebumps. Keep these coming!!
Great review as always. Would be great to have another review of the GTR on track (I mean a 'real' long track like Silverstone and not the one from the Mercedes dealer where you picked up the car).
RAZ will you ever get your GTR tuned by like Renntech or something?? They have a 835bhp GTR package..
As much as I love the 4.0 V8 my heart will always love the 6.2 V8 from the C63 black. Now that thing was a beast and sounded so much better
I upgraded from the old c63 to the new c63s, the only thing the old one has over it is the fact you could rev much louder at a standstill. But anyway no need for you guys to listen to actual owners.
Who said I wasn't listening. I was merely making an opinion
connor Ringland fair enough my bad. Just bored of all the comments from kids about how the old engine was way better when it is not in any measurable way apart from traffic light rev offs
I would love to see you review Aston Martin Vantage!👍
Hoping to do this very soon :)
Decent review. Nice one.
They needa make the black series AWD with drift mood like they r doing for some of the new amgs an they needa make it lighter way lighter an with a hole lot more hp cuz we all know the potential that 4.0 liter v8 has. But other then that i loved the vid keep them coming 👌🏽👍🏽
My bad i meant *mode 😂
100k. AMG GT R or facelift AMG GT C coupe?
Why it would be impossible to order a 911 GT3?
No better sounding v8? Have you heard of perhaps a…..458?
Good luck getting one now...
I’ve never heard say they like that their supercar isn’t too fast.
Is there really gonna be a new version of AMG GT that sits higher than the GTR? Has that been confirmed, if yes when will it be revealed? Because I am going to buy a GTR next week however if that s true I might reconsider. Many thanks.
Hello?? Yooo
Listen carefully to the video and you will have the answer!
This is by far my dream car of you gave me around 220k to spend
220k? What country do you live in? In most it's around 150k (asking price).
Daniel Sadjadian I’m in the US, but I was looking at some used ones all speced out and it was actually more towards 200k not 220 sorry
*I wish, even at 150k*
Where is the M4cs? Would like to see an in depth review on it please.
Filmed! Coming next week
Remove Before Race great, I'm looking forward to watching that.
Mercedes copied the rear end from 1980s or 1990 Porsche 928s. What do you think? It's not a bad thing as that was a great looking car! Don't get me wrong l love Mercedes and have 2. It's the finest vehicle can get!
Sounds fake
Anyways Miltek rs6 sounds way better than any amg
bullshit coment
Benz lol u never heard Miltek that’s why you say so
Tadas Simasevicius RS sound better than amg? Buhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah
Taras Buljba yep because you amg fan
Just not that impressed, it really sounds obnoxious just another track car that only works on the track representing 2% of buyers
In conclusion it’s a 120k dollar garage Queen.
Still take a BMW M5 for the price, just as fast, not obnoxiously loud and a far better ride. A drivers car !
KEVIN MANSFIELD Than e63. M5 is boring and nothing new
A heavy boat a drivers car s lol it’ a luxury car made to drive fast to church or to the movies with your wife lol. The amg gtr is a race car for the street. Handles much better than a m5 could even dream of doing.
