There is something so special and captivating about the AMG GTR🤓, and I have a number of reasons as to why I would choose it, but I’m not narrow minded to the truth that the Porsche GT3 and RS version are more of the drivers car than the AMG GTR, I applaud Porsche 👏🏾👏🏾😁
I love the way he is able to gesture with his hands without ever taking them off of the wheel. I am completely incapable of doing this.
I would take the Gtr because it can be daily driven and I like road tripping my car. I also like tuning cars and the Gtr being a turbo car they are making 700hp with downpipes and a tune.
I've seen one at the Mercedes Benz dealership and was like "Wow"..Looks so much more awesome in person
instant classic AMG. Enjoy the v8 biturbo before AMG changes to hybrid engines and all electric.
In Denmark -base prise is 3185000 kr. In dollars, that would be 498.000$!!. So around 200.000$ with alot of extras is a bargain!. That's it, I'm moving!:)...
This guy is the not broke edition Daddy demuro

I like the idea of a TC dial cause you can fine tune it. Kinda like a tone knob on a guitar when you're first learning you only really notice the difference at the two extremes. But the longer you play the more sensitive you become to it. Meaning the more you drive the car the more fun you can have with it🙃
The smiley is me after I turned the TC knob all the way to zero.
When I started watching Paul’s “Supercars of London” he had the GT and that’s when I loved the car.
The dog is awesome !
i drive my gtr same color green everywhere in town ! love it
When I was in CA, GT3 were a dime a dozen. Honestly, so many Porsches it was kind of dull... Hence I would get the GTR in Green Hell Magno. :)
But I'm not rich. So I won't. LOL.
Excellent episode! Thank you
I love both, lean more to GT3... But still waiting for NSX TYPE R.... Awesome review by the way again, and I love your show. You and Alex on Auto are two ✌ of my favourite reviewers.
Good review. Mercedes did an awesome job with that car. it is right up there with the 911 as far as specs.
It’s Newton metres for structural rigidity or pounds per square inch I think in the old language for Americans, non metric countries. I never learned this at school.
well this is the pinnacle of AMG
not in terms of sound, that's for sure. driven one yesterday and that turbo sound is just weak
@@hazardeur blame the government and their regulations?
@@shotsfiredandmissed9068 believe me, i do. but be the reason what it may, this driving experience is NOT the pinnacle of AMG. Maybe in terms of performance but overall? definitely not.
@@hazardeur guess its the CLK-GTR then
It's a track car for the track as it should be. A track car for the street is a track car with a license plate.
That big shiny black center console already looks dated. Wonder if you can get it leather wrapped? Looks amazing and sounds great even through my crap speakers.
nah it doesnt sound great. that slight rumble you hear is literally all you get. that plus those stupid farts. no high revs, no drama, no loudness. it's way too tame. the car looks like 250k and sounds like 50k. i blame the turbos for it. compare this to a NA engine sound, it's not even fair
The color may be called green hell because you will need a hell of a lot of "green" to pay for it. But it is great. The seat movement though....
Yes why is that seat moving around?
Broken ?
GT3 RS. USA, Athens, Georgia. I drive a BMW M235i.
naibafabdulkobor ha! Because Porsche. Accept no substitute. :-) I had a 944 back in the 1990s and still miss that car. The AMG strikes me as an awesome GT car that would also track well. But the GT3 RS, that’s a race car you could still enjoy on the street. I just couldn’t pass up a chance at another Porsche.
As far as the lowly bmw, I love that car too, but it’s my wife’s. It’s got 360 hp with a Dinan chip and a nice backseat. It’s not lowly at all. It’s what we can afford, does everything a daily needs to do, and will do 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. My daily is a 2003 Passat with 169k miles. I would gladly trade up to a GT3 RS or the AMG!
@@Jono2113 i just love these stupid commercial slogans. how can i accept no substitute if there's a Merc and then everything else? yeah, it doesn't add up does it. props to BMW for that though, at least they ignore the dick measuring word contest and just advertise the joy to drive
What is the future for the sport car considering: Ever increasing traffic in metropolitan areas, draconian speed enforcement, displacement shrinkage, and skyrocketing prices? Are we destined to only have bimbo cars: those only trotted out for a hot lap on race day and then housed until you can flip them or trade up.
Draconian speed limits suck! Hard to have fun these days.
You’re right, but the future of the sports car doesn’t change. It’s not about whether you can use it or not.
B Bee you are obviously the life of the party. Let's try to not be so doom and gloom
It’s all about the experience , feel and your perception of car specs. And power underneath your foot , much more than just driving fast or taking risks on public roads . There are several reviews online on PRIUS’S and VOLVO’S
Blake Swan , No doom nor gloom, other than what plainly lies on the horizon. Like the burrowing owl, true sport cars may live but their habitat, the unencumbered open road, is rapidly being churned away. And the owls that survive are not the same free spirits of the air, rather caged gourmet chickens, overpriced and underflavored. Feel Better yet?
This color or GT-C in Solar is art on 4 wheels.
Hi Motoman, great review as ever. Of course youtube videos don't convey the subtleties of a $9,900 paint job. Could you explain a little more about it please?
you had me at LEGO
If I could spec a AMG GTR right now I’d either get it in Designó Diamond White Metallic Metallic, or Designó Selenite Grey Magno 😍🤗
Great review!
Review the 812 superfast
was anyone worried about him hitting the car with the spanner at start.......merc over a beetle
This channel needs more views.
That is the best pre-purchase tip ever - delete sway bar to fir missile:) AND anyone who sells a 911 for a sewing machine doens't desevre to be a passenger is such a fine vehicle. let alone be allowed to drive it.
I'd get the paint, and skip all the other options. Or maybe a wrap, which is actually cheaper.
The correct answer is GTR and GT3. They're both so different, and so magnificent. I've driven each of their little brothers (the 911 GTS and the AMG GT-S) and they're both incredible. I'd have a hard time choosing on or the other, they're both so fantastic. What they don't tell you though is that the 911 is like driving a greenhouse while the GT is like driving a coffin. The AMG has terrible visibility and you really ride "in" it, but it has a supreme road presence. If you had a gun to my head I'd chose the GT3 to drive more daily, the GTR for the weekend.
GT3/RS is far more refined.
Traded a 911 GTS for an AMG GT C Coupe.....I would choose the GT R
If this was offered with a manual transmission option, it would be a future classic.
My advice to Mercedes, go back to the 1954 300sl parameters. Of course update and modernize. Put either a kompressor or turbocharger on the straight six and watch the weight. People would sacrifice to have a car like that. At the moment, most cars are too complex and heavy.
Nothing is better than a naturally asprirated engine that revs up to 9000rpm.
ooooooh yeah lexus LFA
A GT3RS any day
monster and power
AMG GTR + GT3 Manual for me thanks 🔥🔥🔥
$10,000 for a paint job is too much no matter how good the paint is. The car is worth about 170k to me though. I'd rather save the money and get the Shelby gt350.
I can't believe your "so called mate" sold a porsche for a damn tesla POS. >:(
Would this have better resale value than a GT3?
Not. A. Chance.
then i guess my answer is GT3
Isn't it the 9 fastest car the Nurburgring
Price for this car and options are just stupid.
Makes my 2018 E coupe sound like a bargain.
You will loose exactly 7,5 % of "Torsionssteifigkeit" if you remove the crossbar :-)
No.
GT3!!!!☺👍💙
Nowhere near gt3
This
shame on you matt XD
I think the car would look better in gray or dark blue.
GT3 on its own planet ... GTR is a super daily
GT3 Touring with manual gearbox, back seats, PCM, standard door handles, tahoe blue with beige leather interior, i wouldn't look at AMG GT.
Merc over a beetle for sure 🤙🏽
youngprankster94 You'd be CRAZY not to take this over a Volkswagen. Now, a Porche GT3 is a different.
Too bad you can't afford it.
Bis später😂👍
Ho Hum ..... another MB, Porsche, or BMW review......
