  • It's road trip time! London to the Alps with skis and luggage, 1,052km in a day with the AMG GT R, let's go! After no trouble loading up the boot of the car including a pair of skis, let's hit the roads via the Eurotunnel down through France towards Megeve in the Alps. Do you think there's an AMG GT R out there doing more mileage than mine?
    Having bought this car as very much one that can be used for all purposes and to truly mile crunch across the continent, it seemed only appropriate that as the snow falls in the Alps to get back on the roads to get there and have a few ski days. The AMG GT R ends the day with 6,000km on the clock and this is only the start, more is coming, watch this space.

      Shmee150 can you do a review on the new E-Class

    • @Shmee150

      I've driven both the E63 S and the E43 and you can find those videos on the channel already!

      You should make a live odometer on your page, for all cars and one special when you are traveling with plane. Think you can get to 200 000 in a year?

    • @carguyuk3613
      @carguyuk3613 Před 6 lety +1

      19.6 mpg. My Xkr averaged 23mpg on a long trip with a heavy foot, but you have more power hence lower mpg.

  • @JeS-ii6yp
    @JeS-ii6yp Před 6 lety +133

    You certainly made the right choice with the AMG GT R for the road trips you have planned. It is the perfect GT, trouble free and ready for anything.

    • @stubones
      @stubones Před 6 lety +4

      Apart from the 21mpg, it's a great GT. If the cost of fuel isn't an issue (which is likely for someone who can afford to own a car like this) then it's brilliant!

    • @michaelsieber98
      @michaelsieber98 Před 6 lety +13

      The 21mpg is quite good. If you keep in mind what some normal cars use. Especially SUVs in America

    • @Pablomyers102
      @Pablomyers102 Před 6 lety +7

      21mpg is amazing considering its a V8 near supercar level

    Hey shmee been a fan for the longest time, wanted to personally thank you! My father had a hemorrhagic stroke 2 days ago and I have been so devastated and been with him for 2 days straight, difficult to think or relax about anything else, but ur simple video brought me some mental relief. Thank you mate, keep up the good work.

    Genuinely happy that this year you are not uploading every day. Not because I don't love your videos, I watched every single video last year, but because it means you're focusing on yourself and other things you need to do. As a content creator I know how insane making a video twice a week is let alone a high quality informative video every single day! MASSIVE RESPECT TO YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM TIM!

    Last summer i did 1200 km in my 78hp red little manual Alfa Mito, with no cruise control. From Milan to the Atlantic Ocean in France, it took me 16 hours, of which 12 at the wheel. Totally worth it 😂

      Every summer My family does a 2400km roadtrip with our Audi Q5 to bosnia all the way from Sweden and That’s one route the other route is also 2400km so we do 4800km every year

      I hate driving my mito for long trips cause it only has 5 gears but its so much fun to swing around town

    • @marcog.3488
      @marcog.3488 Před 6 lety

      Aldin Kajevic personally, that would be too much for me. But a Q5 is very comfortable and a great cruiser, so despite being that long of a road trip it shouldn’t be that bad right?

    It is really crazy that car that powerful can be soooooo fuel efficient... 500 kilometers and 60 liters of fuel is equal to 12l/km or 19.6MPG...

    • @raupenimmersatt6906
      @raupenimmersatt6906 Před 6 lety +2

      Enes Alkovic This thing prob. runs at 1,300rpm on the highway haha

    • @stephenboyce8100
      @stephenboyce8100 Před 6 lety

      He said it was 64 litres for 500kms so 22mpg, thats pretty impressive, but i suspect he drove like a granny on the motorways.

    • @saheel1850
      @saheel1850 Před 6 lety

    • @willywillywillywillywilly
      @willywillywillywillywilly Před 6 lety +1

      It’s not that good, man. I’d be impressed with 28mpg US if it was pure highway driving. Half that for fun driving, and half that again for track driving.

    Shmee .. You should prevent using stop start feature for any of your cars even if they are fuel efficient. In short, they will decrease the life span of your starter motor which you dont want that to happen.

    Nice trip to the snow. I guess it is a bit more crazy in Norway at the Team Galag Snowtour

    Love roadtrips, nice video. Just one thing, can you change sometimes view camera? I really like, camera in back of the car, for a complete view of dashboard and street ofc, as if we were all sitting in the back seat. (hope I have expressed myself well).
    ps NOW gtr is really PERFECT! good work.
