    I think the AMG GT R hit the depreciation curve hard in late 2020. Now everyone is realizing the value with it and the R8 V10+.

      I drive over them roads practically every week they are a five minute drive from where I live... Those roads always give me a good laugh when I drive over them towards Langsett so much fun in any car. You always get a good mix of compressions corners and little lumps in the road where you nearly take off. They'll highlight any deficiencies in any car provided you don't get stuck behind some Sunday driver doing 5mph although, I usually get past them with a bit of clear road you have to be careful though some of the roads around there are bloody narrow.

    Nice review Matt. The AMG GT R is excellent value at £95000. It has a great engine that doesn't even sound like it's turbo-charged! It has great build quality, it looks fantastic in green or black (and especially sunbeam yellow), but that long long bonnet just doesn't do it for me. You also touched on the steering which is also a weak point. I think this car comes into its own in Florida or California where they have bigger, wider roads. For the UK I would rather have a 991 GT3 for the same money.

  • @caxsfSpeedster
    @caxsfSpeedster 2 роки тому +1

    This car could be a nice car if AMG would have had the same team that developed the 6.2 NA engine. This engine throttle response in low revs and high revs is far from uniform, the acceleration pedal seems mushy and irresponsive in many situations and driving it slowly the lack of crispiness in the engine response makes it a dull experience, plus the poorly programmed steering wheel feedback, that is excessively heavy. Also the engine sound is something just made for showing up in the low mid range. The engine sound looses interest as it reaches the higher revs, and at low rpm the sound seems to expressive compared to the engine response and as you progress it becomes less and less interesting. They should take some lessons from Porsche or from other high end car specialists. Or even maybe their previous engineers. It is a shame that these types of details were poorly engineered and designed for an AMG car...
