SOLD - 2018 MERCEDES AMG GT R

WELCOME TO THE GREEN HELL

No phrase conjures up more anticipation, fear and excitement in a car enthusiast than "The Green Hell". First coined by Formula One legend Sir Jackie Stewart to describe the fantastically challenging 181-turn Nürburgring circuit in Germany, this Mercedes-AMG GT R shares more than its colour’s name with this racing mecca.

Finished in striking AMG Green Hell Magno metallic, this low kilometre 2018 AMG GT R debuted to the world at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed. With approximately 150 AMG GT Rs sold in Australia and believed to be just 30 in Green Hell Magno, this car is one for the collector and enthusiast alike.

Exterior

PERFORMANCE DESIGN TURNED UP TO 11

Born of the Mercedes-AMG GT which first debuted at the 2014 Paris Motorshow, R variants took the sleek two-door, grand tourer, coupe’s design and turned up the performance wick to 11. Featuring a redesigned exterior to increase the vehicles overall track abilities, the AMG GT R sits lower and wider than its donor vehicle and adds a substantive aerodynamic package to keep the performance coupe glued to the track.

Interior

HIGH-END MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY

Befitting the track focussed nature of the AMG GT R the interior of the car features a sporty cockpit that envelopes the driver in high-end materials and technology. From the finest Nappa leather and microfibre inserts to the multifunction steering wheel and expansive driver aids, the AMG GT R’s cabin has been designed to support the driver do what they do best – drive.

MECHANICAL

BAHN STORMING POWER

Born of the Motor Show runway and honed on the track, the AMG GT R’s mechanical package leverages the best of Mercedes’ performance division and borrows a bit of tech from its F1 exploits. The performance coupe’s lightweight, 4.0 litre, twin-turbo V8 develops a Bahn storming 430kW of power with a monumental 700Nm of torque. For maximum weight distribution, power is sent to the rear via a carbon fibre driveshaft mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. In short, it is a mechanical marvel.

EXTERIOR

DESIGN PEDIGREE

Penned by Mercedes’ Mark Fetherston, who was also responsible for the SLS AMG and CLA-Class, the AMG GT R was designed to leverage the marques rich motorsport history. From its long, wide and low stance inspired by the AMG SLS, to its substantive aerodynamic package and the venerable slatted Panamericana grille – which pays homage to the brand’s 1952 300SL race car.

EXTERIOR

AERODYNAMICS STAR ON THE ‘R’

From the carbon fibre lip spoiler which descends at speeds of 80km\h to reduce lift on the front axle while funnelling cold air into the brakes to the electronically controlled louvres that channel air to maximise performance and minimise drag, the AMG GT R is a race car for the road. Completing the GT R’s aero package is a signature, adjustable rear wing which can be tailored to the driver’s requirement be that on the road or the track.

INTERIOR

THE INSIDE WORD ON DESIGN

Described by its head of design as the most beautiful vehicle Mercedes has ever made, the interior of the AMG GT R takes inspiration from the world of aviation. To land this theme, interior designer Jan Kaul wished to incorporate overhead buttons into the cabin, while the turbine-like air vents and an avionics-style module for the centre console carry the theme through the cabin and ensure all functions are close to hand.

INTERIOR

HIGH-QUALITY TECH INSIDE

From the Nappa leather to the high-definition display screens, the GT R’s cockpit blends high-quality with high-tech. Commanding and communicating the vehicle’s tech-rich functionality is a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 10.2-inch infotainment system. Core onboard features can be controlled by Mercedes’ touchpad, the AMG Performance steering wheel, or MBUX voice command – just like your own pit crew onboard.

MECHANICAL

THE M178 IS A HOT VEE

The GT R features a hand-built, AMG fettled 4.0 litre, twin-turbo, V8 featuring a ‘hot V’ configuration. With the exhaust manifold and turbochargers residing inside the cylinder banks, this configuration reduces turbo lag and allows for efficient packaging of the engine. Boasting racing components such as a dry sump, the M178 engine pumps out 430kW at 6,250rpm and an astounding 700Nm of torque spread across a wide 1,900-5,500rpm range. This imbues the GT R with a train-like acceleration of 3.6 seconds to 100km/h along the way to a claimed 319km/h top speed.

MECHANICAL

A CHASSIS OF BALANCE

Befitting its performance focus, the AMG GT R features a raft of chassis enhancements over its road-going counterpart. Starting with its 231kg aluminium space frame, the GT R features a wider stance, active-rear-steer and manually adjustable coil-over suspension paired with AMG’s Ride Control system. Combined with the GT R’s near-perfect 47:53 weight distribution the 1,590kg vehicle set the fifth fastest lap for a road-legal car around the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, just 7 minutes 10.92 seconds.

MECHANICAL

A DRIVETRAIN OF TWO

The Mercedes-AMG GT R is a beast of balance, with its dynamic abilities attributed to its race-car-like transaxle architecture. The transaxle consists of a fixed carbon-composite transaxle that connects its 209 kg, all-alloy, 4.0L engine at the front to its rear-mounted seven-speed dual-clutch transmission via a carbon-fibre driveshaft that weighs just 4kg. By adopting this layout, Mercedes-AMG engineers were able to spread the drivetrain’s weight across the vehicle, while mounting it as low as possible within the car for ultimate handling prowess.

MECHANICAL

POWER TO STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS

The Mercedes-AMG GT R has a high-performance brake system featuring 390mm ventilated and perforated disks front, with 360mm ventilated and perforated discs rear gripped by colour coded callipers. Supported by a 9-mode AMG Traction Control brake performance can be tailored to any conditions be it road or track.

BACKGROUND

A CAR OF THE TRACK

The Mercedes AMG GT wowed spectators on its debut at the 2015 Australian Formula One Grand Prix. Since 2018, Formula One Safety Car duties have been handled by the AMG GT R. During this time the GT R has plied some of the world’s most famous tracks, including the Nürburgring and lapping the famed Mt Panorama Circuit in a road car record time of 2 minutes 16.5 seconds at the hands of international race driver Bernd Schneider.
