lets take a second to realize the skill of this driver. respect.
Absolutely 100% agree!
Amen
No.
This so underappreciated by most commenters here. You can see in the video the car is very, very good. But two other things really stand out: the tires make almost no noise (so clearly very soft) and Christian is a fantastic driver.
It's weird seeing such a good driver getting around in Auto mode tho!
That AMG GT3 was like 'nice try little brother'
Looking this video, thinking "oh, this is fast". And then "brrrrrrmmm - overtaking by AMG GT3". What a beast!
Charleston Ramos Soeira I thought that's the Aston GT8 but the kights didn't match
I found it more impressive, how long he could stick behind him
LG Work where in this entire thread did anyone say it was?
*But what about AMG GT4?*
It should be street legal already, even though it is weaker than GT3 (and cheaper: GT3 costs about $450K and GT4 is "just" 250K).
I think Christian Gebhardt deserves some respect for that very committed lap.
Everyone who asks about tyres, read the description !
It's Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2.
This car is amazingly fast !
It takes large and hairy balls to drive on this track like that. I get sweaty palms in Forza let alone real life.
I have at least 20 fatal collisions per lap when I drive the Nurburgring in Project Cars.
Again: No slicks or cutted slick-tyres were used for the lap time. AMG will offer two different versions of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for the AMG GT R. A normal one, like it is available for the GT S, and a special one for track driving with a more sticky compound. BUT: Both versions of Cup 2 for the AMG GT R are fully street legal! You can compare the sticky Cup 2 for AMG GT R with the Cup 2 for the Corvette Z06. The grip level feels pretty similar!
sport auto Respect.. How was the Temperatur AT that Day ? Perfect Condition or far away from that?
++++
Respect for the time. but which type of tyres was on the Porsche Spyder and the Ferrari 488?
Is that the reason why the GT R are faster? Or is the only truth that AMG just built an amazing Car?
Sure.... ;-)
Why should a car with more power, more torque, more wheel drive, more aero and the same tires be slower than that wonderful Mercedes...
Amg proved them self once again and this car is seriously fast , love it .
Even the gt3rs with only 520hp did a 6:56. Amg is no match even with 585hp🤷♂️
Mercedes is dominant in F1 For a reason. and the new tech is proving it in road cars. no argument can be made about this.
The way he followed the GT3 car 3:20-4:40 is freaking impressive!
Yeah it is. But it's pretty normal. GTR has no restrictor; so full 580 hp turbo against 550 hp atmo for GT3. And GTR has less aero. It's uphill, so with a good driver who knows the lines, he can keep up, just for that part. But Merc GT3 is so f@cking beautiful :)
yep, but I say that GT R could do that lap 0.5 - 0.9 seconds faster if there wasnt that GT3 passing... I am really curios what time AMG GT3 does its under 7:00 for sure
Funny the merc is clearly on slicks you can even see them at the start, and the GT3 still shits on it.
This was an independent test so why would it have slicks? Where exactly did you see slicks on it? The GT3 race car is about 300kg lighter than the GT R and has massively more aerodynamic grip. A modern day GT3 without success ballast would easily do sub 6:50.
No slicks, road legal cup tyres from merc.
I had no idea this car was gonna be this good. Thats firkin impressive!!
Extremely impressive and fast time. Such a good time form a publication to. Instead of a lot of laptimes with factory employees with laptops changing who knows what.
Fully agree. The only really interesting comparisons are the SA laps! They say a lot more than the factory laps
And the AMG GT3 drive-by was obviously just coincidence.
You can clearly see the employees at 0:22, the only difference with a factory lap is that it's not a factory driver.
I am drooling for that machine
Woooow
Mercedes is the best auto maker on earth,
What a brand,
Holy shit that thing is fast
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mercedes-AMG rulzzzzz.... it has defeated 918 Spyder :)))))
George Gagishvili sorry, not really 918 Spyder did in just 6:57.00 !!! C'mon now...
No, its not. It's slower than a Datsun - 7:08:68.
nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/
Mercedes rear wheel drive! Porsche 4 wheel drive +hyhrid engine!
Does it matter? Regardless of rear wheel or all wheel drive, the time it takes to complete 1 lap is how you logically measure how fast a thing is on this stretch of German made bitumen.
Sehr schöne Runde von Christian, grosses Kompliment!
I think this is the best Nordschleife production car lap I've ever seen. Just maximum attack!
Considering the layout of the car, the front axle grip and response of the GTR is just incredible. The car is a total weapon.
I'm impressed by so many things right now! First and foremost the driving, that was damn fine work Mr Gebhardt, secondly the frontal downforce nevermind the traction in general is really amazing, and the time achieved, great stuff.
Batman: "Do you have it in a matt black?"
Who is Matt Black?
I'm definitely not a Mercedes fan. But I genuinely love this car. Insanely quick, beautifully stylish inside and out.
7:10 is hella impressive!
Thanks Sport Auto for putting the tyres used :)
Was ein Zufall! Eben noch darüber geschrieben, was der wohl für eine Zeit erreicht und jetzt dieser Clip! Klasse! :-)
Hallo nochmal!
Wahnsinn, wieviele Leute hier kommentieren!
Dieser Supertest sorgt ja mächtig für Wirbel! Wer hätte das gedacht? ;-)
Respekt Christian!! Sauschnelle Runde als ich nur die Rundenzeit gesehen habe war ich mir sicher die ist von nem Werksfahrer
That's a fast car
Amazing how well the car grips- no tire squeal/squirm or under/oversteer at all almost. Must have a really good set of michelin pilot sport cup 2's.
Un-fucking-believable! Great Job AMG!
let the haters hate !! AMG 4 the win !!
I like mercedes style, showing up in a satin finished green gtr.. appropriate for the green hell.
man, this green monster is really fast! good handling, good stability, and good traction... welldone AMG and driver!
I would not dare to be the passenger. To control a car like the AMG GTR costs soo much skill. The car is soo slippery and almost wants to drift and slide in every corner. Im amazed at how much grip this driver made the car have. SCARY !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
great car, great video! I love the LED on the traction control rotary knob in the middle...
what level was set???
@1:14 adjusts his personal middle sectors settings real quick. What an amazing lap, oh and he did all this without any racing GLOVES people. Now i wanna watch the other Merc's video, that thing was fOOking fast.
Never have I seen someone take the carousel that fast, almost sliding out! must inspire some confidence in the driver
Hut ab! Für Auto und Fahrer! Sehr sehr stramme Runde!
277 Km/h über die Kuppe Schwedenkreuz! Respekt!
Wer kommt denn da Breidscheid noch vorbei geflogen?
Serious driving right there. Well done sir.
10 seconds faster than the 488 GTB. holy moly!
vivalaphill 488 gtb Isnt a Race car like the gtr
488 gtb is a Gran tourismo
@@King-bs4qi hahaha so a small rear wing and 577 hp makes it race car?
@@King-bs4qi how about you say that the amg gtr is based on amg gt and 488 gtb has 90 more horsepower
@@King-bs4qi first 488 GTB is a supercar
Second 488 GTB has more HP than the GTR
How the hell you compare two cars like that ?😃 , Genius
a really fast lap time without any Nurburgring specialised package like the gtr nismo and the lfa packaged times. nothing under the twice of its price can beat its speed
i dont know how the car can go so fast with the enormous weight of this guy's balls on it , damn it takes eggs to drive like that on a car that has realwheel drive with engine in the front , 577 HP and long wheel base , cheers to amg , and my most sincere respect for the driver , you are crazy but you are amazing
ich habe ja mit einer guten Zeit gerechnet, aber eben mal 2 Sekunden schneller als der 918 Spyder? RESPEKT, Christian :D
When you're looking after the last seconds on the ring or the last tenths on a regular track, tires are everything. Everybody remember this crazy frenchie who patiently managed to get under 10' with a tiny Citroen AX diesel (58hp). Aside from his sheer dedication, his two keypoints were the "added lightness", à la Chapman, and the Yokohama Advan A048. Standard cheapo Michelin would have needed at least one MINUTE more...
Props to AMG if they sell this car with that particular compound on the Sport Cup 2's (the tires were nearly silent the entire lap), but clearly the car is extremely capable and Christian's skills are exceptional. Sport Auto: please have a big comparison test with other top contenders soon with Christian driving them all....
Hi Christian, congratulations, amazing lap and no 4 point harness! Did this car have ceramic brakes and AMG Track package with roll cage? We will be testing and playing with our AMG GTR at the ring next spring and summer.
p.s. I look forward to you having another go with 488 GTB, I think (and I am ready to bet) you can do quicker lap than 7.21.
Honestly, looking at the lap, it could've been even better. Being passed by the GT3 car there was some time lost. If it were hotter there would have probably been more grip... Maybe I'm wrong, but I definitely feel there's more time in the car. Outstanding.
It the car in automatic transmission mode for this ? I never see fingers moving on the right side paddle ?
Though I could see some movement on the left side
Mad cornering speed. Props to both mercedes-amg and to the driver, christian gebhardt.
i have a question , do they still look at the indicator which gear they are in or they just know it during downshifting ?
This car became a Legend because of this. I never understood why they depreciate as they do. Amg are great fun cars.
An incredible ride. Congratulations.
Very cool... no mistakes and smooth as hell.... talented knowledgeable man indeed
Hammer Runde. RESPEKT!!!
Irre wie lange der GT3 sichtbar bleibt!
omg imagine what will be the speed pf the hypercar they are doing with expected 1000 hp AMG is growing fast
bmw and audi fans will be on a suicide watch if that happens xD
Mohamed where are you from?
ali alakbar egy bro
You have a good plenty of informations about cars ! (Y)
ali alakbar i love cars thank you bro
Cant hear them Audi and BMW fanboys, where are youuuuu? :(
the AMG GT-R isn't a supercar it's a sport car ! and it's the 5th faster road legal car on the Lap ! also the fastest RWD street legal car on the Lap
***** Hey I cant see a single R8 near the GT-R. Not even going to talk BMW because uh oh. You guys just got raped by both Stuttgart and Ingolstadt
Would say the same.... hahahaa.... GREAT comment!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))
at least bayern has a better football club than stuttgart and ingolstadt!
The Truth yes I agree with you the AMG GT-R is faster than any R8 in the track and more fun to drive because AMG sound + RWD and better in daily drive
Amg traction control level is a masterpiece ! Cant wait to buy one maybe a e63 s though
Nice driving ! The gearbox is incredibly fast ! Is he using paddles or automatic mode ? Because I don't see his fingers moving
Amazing lap
I think that long straight at the end slowed it down a bit. But Never the less. It did reall good.
Can't stop watching this video
Best sounding engine I ever heared. The GT3 overtake spoiled the magic a bit
Klasse Runde!
Wie im Quali zu den 24h im Opel...nur schneller. Liebe Grüße.
Mercedes is absolutely amazing...
Wow. Amazing hot lap. Good time. I can't this time in simulator. Lol. Good Job.
Sehr geil gefahren! Ist ein Mercedes Werksfahrer in der Lage 14 oder mehr Sekunden noch rauszuholen?
Is it possible a Mercedes Benz testdriver makes it 14 seconds faster?
The small switch unter the navi-screen is the traction control, as far as i know. and it flashes nearly all the time... doesn't look like the car could handle it's power on it's own...?
awesome car, but the flashing light from traction control kind of annoys a bit :D
Wow that's an insanely fast lap.
Wunderschön Runde !
impressive time plese do a lap with the 991.2 turbo s
Official Mercedes Time in perfect Condition must be under 7 Min..
No way they can shove 11 seconds off of that even with Lewis himself driving.
How can Porsche 16 Sec?
BOB BOB They didn't babysit Sport Auto
Wait until next Spring.. than you will eat your Words again.. I told ya 3 Month ago that this AMG will Do a 7.10.. everybody was laughing.. what now BITCH ? Please fuck off.. Next Year AMG HYPERCAR will Do under 6.30.. Wanna bet ?
BOB BOB 3 months you trippin' man i never seen you before. And 6:30 is 17 seconds faster than the Zonda R on slicks so i'm not convinced...
And Aston got that new Red Bull Hypercar anyway so chill.
Si può disattivare l'elettronica in quest'auto o deve guidare sempre lei?
The Beast of the Green Hell is king of Nurburgring, it's best performance, it drives like a V12, loud ass machine. Germany really made one hell of a car
Mercedes Rules as always! Mercedes can't anyone stop now, except Porsche, Lamborghini etc., but Mercedes does not end with this amazing car, there is soon also coming the new C63 Black Series Coupe or the Hypercar AMG R50, which will destroy definitely anything, the other two competitors (Bmw, Audi) are no more opponents in the sportscar area for Mercedes! This is an absolute fact!
Leety McLeet if you a Bmw or Audi Fanboy you must agree! If not, then you are an envious fanboy who imagine arguments to ignore this fact.
Leety McLeet lol From bmw you can not buy anyway because they have no supercars ;D. Otherwise thats your opinion, but i think Mercedes built very good supercars, you can also see the Nurburgring-Laptime of AMG GTR which is simply very good, even better than the fastest stock Porsche ever built (918 Spyder), I do not understand why you would not buy a supercar from Mercedes, thats inexplicable to me.
Leety McLeet
Porsche 918 Spyder: 7:13
Mercedes AMG-GTR: 7:10
;)
I will say it not only based on the F1 success of Mercedes, when you have a look at the Nürburging lap times, you will see that Mercedes can play well at the top, to example SLS Black Series: 7:25 this lap time was not reached or beaten by any Bmw or Audi model up to now and a few more, and I said that only "Bmw and Audi are no more opponents for Mercedes "EXCEPT" Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini etc."read exactly what I wrote, you mean Ford and Jaguar opponents as Mercedes in the sports car category? LMFAO :D. Thats ridiculous to compare these two brands in this category with Mercedes, and especially "FORD" wtf?!? How many sports cars did they have? And how many good lap times or successes did they have on Tracks? LOOL
Leety McLeet LOL this is the Laptime of the Porsche 918 Spyder with "Weissach package tuning" (lighter, more horsepower), the regular (stock) Laptime of Porsche 918 Spyder on Nürburgring is 7:13, and besides the AMG GTR had not even slicks on it only normal road tires, i am sure it will create with Slicks the laptime under 7 minutes, inform you better before you play here the "smart aleck", wish you a nice 2017 ;)
Samet Tikiz the Königsegg and other Ultracars will destroy the new Hypercar of Mercedes
Beautiful. This is art.
Wonder what a GTS or GTC would do on the ring?
this driver put himself on his limitation. Great driver
Under the air vents is the blinking sign of TC activity? Nice driving and level of grip seems really high for Cup 2s
Special Cup2s like the Corvette has. You can buy them from AMG. Street legal. But i guess more grip than the "!normal" Cup2 from the Porsche 918!
Man that's a damn good looking car... best of the GT3 variants if you'd ask me. Yes, much better looking than that kit car GT3RS and the 675LT
wow juste incroyable
Fantastic AMG-Power
maaan, skill on the wheel, nice
Der SLS-Motor als der GT3 vorbeizieht....😍
That grip is insane!
This car has just beaten my favourite porsche gt3rs and gt3. Wow
I always liked mercedes especially in the last 5 years the build quality and interior has improved leaps and bounds. Best car manufacturer for the money
Wie schnell war Röhrl mit dem Porsche?
I remember this is the top 10 best record video. But just saw he is passed by amg gt3. Am I seeing anything wrong?
Would like to see that car on the dyno! the wick was turned up! I'd say that thing was producing 650 hp! Impressive all the same!!
Super fast time for a RWD car. I bet RWS shaved off 15 seconds off the lap time. Amazing!!!
so this thing is faster than gt2rs an d 918spider?
What brakes were used? Are they the same as the GTS?
Same carbon ceramics I'm guessing. This car is probably specced with Carbon Ceramics and the track package which include the stickier Sport Cup 2's
#Fahrbarkeit
Respekt an AMG und sport auto!
Amazing result by amg
Great driver.
FANTASTIC!!!
Which car was overtaking GTR in the video?
Another AMG GT, but race tuned
Damn that's impressive.
The Mercedes reaches the same top speed as the 918 on the döttinger Höhe+the driver is a bit more aggressive than mr von saurma in the 918 supertest lap+tire development is super fast these days. Just remember the zr1, it did a lot of lap records in it's last production year when it got the then new Michelins
Mercedes Benz you amaze me!!!!
Gorgeous!
Wow!!! Mehr davon
this car is really killer!
respect- yhis man know how to drive......crazy
I would like to learn to drive like this👌🏼
Fast time. Impressive car. Good job AMG.
I need to get this deal where commenting on how awesome BMW's are and hating on every other vehicles gets me a discount on a Bimmer.
Calm down guys. BMW may not have something this fast at the moment but I'm sure they'll come up with something. Please don't compare this to an M4 GTS. I find it interesting that Porsche fans/drivers aren't on here throwing shade....Maybe it's a class thing.
