I'm SELLING My AMG GT R Pro! The LAST DRIVE Before it's Gone

- The time has come, I'm selling my AMG GT R Pro! After nearly 2 years and lots of fun, with the recent arrivals of the two Black Series cars, it's time for the Pro to head on and here are the reasons why I've made that decision, despite considering to keep it.
Thanks to Latham Steel Security Doors, who have partnered up with @TheShmuseum including providing the secure doors for the front entrance and fire exit. Security is always of paramount importance and if you're looking for the right product, be sure to check out their UK and Australian dealers via: www.lathamssteeldoors.co.uk & www.lathamssteeldoors.com.au.
I collected the limited edition Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro back in late 2019, as an update to my then 2-year old pre-facelift AMG GT R and with intentions to enjoy on track during 2020. However, those outings to Spa, Zandvoort, Ascari and Portimao could not happen with the travel restrictions that quickly came in, but fortunately some good Nurburgring outings were still on the cards.
The Pro has often been a misunderstood car because it's very track focused and really rewards you in that environment. It was very interesting to do some laps in the GT R Roadster more recently and realise quite how significant the difference is. However, while I'd love to keep the 1-of-750 car, with some many AMGs in the garage at the moment it's quite a stretch and hence the decision has been made for it to be sold.
Hence, join me for the last drive, a bit of a farewell to a great car, as it will soon head onwards to a new home to be enjoyed by a new owner.
You may not be aware of the horrendous situation that has affected the area local to the Nurburgring in recent weeks, with shock flooding that has caused immense damage and destruction to local towns. @mgcharoudin and @RobertMitchell with the team at @apexnurburg456 have been working tirelessly to support and help the area affect. They've also set up a bank account for donations to directly help, and you can find further info here:

In the garage for nearly two years, it's incredible how quickly that time has flown by. More track time would have been perfect but 2020 didn't exactly go to plan and now with the arrival of the GT and C63 Black Series models it's time for the Pro to depart. It'll be sad to see it go!
Miłego dnia
😭😭what happened to the TVR Griffith?
Nooooooooo.
That part of Germany got destroyed.... made a donations after seen mishas video
Nooo
I must admit. I actually miss your first renntech GT R a lot.. just because, that was pure V8 sound with no fake sound what so ever...
I agree. Should have kept that.
That was my favourite as well. In black or the yellow wrap.
My favourite too....The most awesome sound...
Never forget how he upgraded to 760 hp, then took it out on the nurbugring circuit in the wet then out on the autobahn later that evening.....
Awesome
@@UBZUKki I still watch that video a couple of times, just because it's so awesome! So completely agree! Haha 😂😉
This is a big move! I certainly remember my drive in your GTR pro on the Nuerburgring and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I understand why you’re selling it but what a masterpiece it was. On to bigger and better things :-)
Hi Robert Hope you and Misha Ok.
Right on! Good work out there guys
We need to see you take the GTBS around the ring!!! See if she stands a chance against the GT2RSMR😉
@@wcmotorheads8814 My initial suspicions Are that when Tim lets me drive the GT black, I will find it to be easier to drive than the GT2
@@RobertMitchell there's a rumor out there that the GT BS has not lost the "easy to push it to the limit" nature of the AMG GT line haha
when shmee said that he has owned the gtr pro for almost 2 years now i legit had to pause and question life, it honestly feels like u just got it a couple of months ago, cant believe 2 years have gone by so fast
Just thinking the same thing 🙄
Yup still remember him taking it to topaz
Cannot believe how long he has had the lt feels only about 2 years
Thank you so much for addressing the floods, and your mates Misha and Robert. You have so much influence and I am proud you are using your platform to draw attention to this issue.
I actually posted the other day on his other channel about it. Shmee responded with he was going to address it and I'm glad he did. I respect Tim for both answering and helping to raise awareness.
@@80wolfmanrob same! Glad this cross-viewership is helping get the word out!
And dont forget belgum and Holland,
Why the need to address it though?
@@80wolfmanrob Well, duh. He wouldn't have said otherwise.
Man delivers more than UPS with these 8pm videos. Good work my guy.
xD
XDDDDDDDDDD
Jest mój komputerm tutaj?
Cenę 4560 zł
I'm going to flip when the STO comes in the garage
It's going to stand out!
Also the SF
Also the Emira
Thank you very much for mentioning the flooding in Germany. We've been praying for all those affected. ❤🙏❤🙏❤
Really appreciating the new calmer presenting style 👍🏻
So much easier to watch 👀
@Pedro Henrique Exactly, like there’s no change as to all his previous videos😂
You are right…if you listen carefully, he sounds a lot more calm than in the US videos which were becoming hard to watch. Tim is much better now he is more relaxed.🙂🙂
@@HQBProductions he was just being enthusiastic. Nothing wrong with that. If you actually think that's annoying, there's something wrong with ya'll
I actually sat in a GTR Pro at Goodwood FoS 2019. Loved that grey/lime combo but I was a little too big for the bolstering on those seats.
I love how the Pro looks and the wheels. Sad to see it go
Thank you Tim for taking the time to bring light to what is happening in Germany. I've been posting to everyone that has done laps around the ring to try and get more people talking about it. Misha and the Apex family have been working hard to help everyone. I'm so happy I started watching him and I don't think I would have if it would t have been for Shmee so thank you. Was your place in Germany affected at all?
This was my exact old route to go for a quick drive when I lived around there. Glad you're enjoying the roads out from the Shmooseum!
Would love to see a 911 or something with a V12 come to the garage!
He says it on the late brake show. That he doesn't really like 911. Them not being so exclusive etc
@@dparag14 yeah he had one and sold it
@@Yourmyhero1 when did he have a carrera?
With the V12 I can see where you're pointing at 😉
The most desirable Naturally Aspirated V12 on the market right now... the V12 with glorious sound & got shmee impressed quickly.
shmee all time car is ferrari f50 with v12 he needs saving up for one ☺
Thanx for finally mentioning the situation at the Nürburgring! You have such a big audience which can make a huge difference when helping the region affected with just a small amount. 👌
One of my favourite Shmee cars . Never got enough air time. . It makes sense now the black series is here .
I also wish that I could go over to Germany to help in any way possible, Tim. I have followed the story on Micha's channel since it broke and each upload is more worrying than the previous. The work that Micha and Apex are doing in the cleanup effort is just amazing along with everyone else and the emergency services. The camaraderie and teamwork of the people from the Eifel area is a wonder to behold and should act as a model for other nations to follow.
All government weather control.
The longer sheeple 🐑 continue to support their evil government you can expect this crap to continue.
Damn. Haven't watched micha video in a few months. Didn't know it was this bad.
Okay
It’s been a great addition while it lasted and you always make it clear to viewers about your plans regarding permanent vs temp shmeemobiles which I sure do appreciate!
Hi Shmee! Curious. Has the Shmuseum been installed with some kind of fire suppression system? Might be a worthy install for piece of mind and protection of the vehicles and memorabilia.
I tip my hat to you tim for drawing focus to pressing points in the car world and world in general.
Always near me and never see you about!
Glad you took time to mention what is going on in Germany I’m trying to get over there myself once we’re aloud to try and help where and if I can! I can also show you some great little roads around here if you’d like sometime 👍🏻
Hey sir is there any updates on the sf90 specifications we will love to know
I haven't completed the spec yet, just some ideas, maybe in a month or two
Can you pls tell us how much percentage you got for the car. Im curious how different the market is in comparrison to normal people cars
Wow it’s already been nearly 2 years with the PRO geez time flys. This outro caught me off guard 21:02 😂
This was my favorite of the AMGs in the Shmee collection. I never thought a white color with black stripe could look this good.
Good video , thankyou for uploading ❤️❤️
Thanks for adding the details to help the Apex guys out with their relief efforts. The situation over there is way worse than has been reported in the UK as you stated.
Man 2 years went by so fast the AMG GTR Pro is an amazing car but I’m really looking forward to seeing how the AMG GT Black Series perform especially on the Nurburgring!
Tim you are going to have a tuff challenge to get all your cars round the ring your collection keeps growing
Any update on the Tycan now that you have a place to charge it?
Does the Shmeemuseum have three phase power supply for future electric charging?
YES I was just thinking about grabbing some steel security doors!!
I saw you on the M25 Clockwise today, gave you a thumbs up in my Ford Ranger. Curious as to what you were towing in the G wagon or is it a secret? 🤐
I think it was the correct decision a question I wondered over why make the GT Black series more user friendly then the pro when that car is supposed to be more extreme what is your thoughts around this I don't get that design decision really?
You're making the right decision. Seems to be a bit chaotic out in 'the real world'. Lol @ Q4, awesome! I may end up storing the items at work for that very car at some point...
Makes sense I always thought this car was unnecessary in the amg gt line
Shmee is a low key car flipper. Can’t tell me he doesn’t know what he’s doing. 675, Porsche, the merc, and others, all would’ve been flipped for way more
@@deezelkane He sold the blue 675lt because the spider was coming which was the version he wanted but they hadn't said that they were making one.
He sold the porsche because it wasn't really his thing and he needed 250k for the Ford GT deposit.
The Mercedes he has had for 2 years now and lost probably half of the value so I wouldn't call that car flipping.
@@deezelkane the gtr pro hes lost about 50k on it as they sell for around 150k second hand at the moment
@@deezelkane you clearly have no idea what you are talking abou
@@emilbergman3296 what Porsche did he have? Also why was the bmw m8 sold? I saw a quick comment about it being registered in another country, but couldn’t the registration be changed / transferred?
out of interest how much would the GT R Pro go for as used ? Anyone know ?
You can’t beat a good old driving video!! Beautiful, beautiful car!!
Genuine question. I am buying a car in the U.K. that uses Premium petrol (or super). Is there an easy way to find petrol stations that have this type of petrol? Only had to deal the usual petrol (95) before.
Amazing collection!! I would buy it from you if I could! Thanks for the great content. Cheers
Hey Tim when the restrictions ease off please plan a trip to India you will be amazed by some amazing roads and landscape and also recently India opened the Asia's largest test facility with 11 km oval high-speed track
Shmee, fancy doing a straight swop for my 2006 Nissan Micra...?
Woah that is me on the bike at 10:34 ! The car looked great and it is a shame to see it go
Are you not allowed to take your GT8 to circuits in UK then? If they have strict sound regulation? Cuz it sounds so dramatic 😃
What is your next hyper car Tim and what's the next upgrade to the yaris
I don’t suppose you’ll end up thinking about racks before the office area gets constructed?
I’ve got multiple PCs that look similar to what’s being used on the Sega Rally, I’m sure it’s a dell optiplex but if you can tell me the 3 numbers after ex optiplex 380 id be happy to send you a fully functional pc or a great parts pc
Hey shmee will you respray your C63 black series to your choice of color or it will stay white
It might well change but no decision is yet made
#GETPÜPPIATARGA
Nooooooooooo! The Pro is literally the best of the Mercs - the most stunning!!! My second favourite Shmee-mobile to the Ford GT.
Yes it was the best one
Shmee you are by far my favorite youtuber. You actually respond to comments as well as Instagram posts and run 2 channels while uploading every day. Full Send!
Pleasure, thanks for watching
You do know he has a whole team working behind the scenes? So it's not just him who responds to all the comments etc
@@YRN3 doesn't matter. At least they take the time to respond. So thank you entire Shmee150 team. I appreciate it
@@2jehz Yes of course, just pointed it out
Is your amg Gt black series ppf'd?
So what are you going to replace it with
I am waiting to see your first drive review of the Huracan STO and the 992 GT3
It’s sad to see the GTR Pro go, but it is awesome to see the GT Black Series, SLS Black Series, GTR Roadster, G63, and C63 Black Series in the garage! Can’t wait to see what the new Black Series cars and what the GTR Roadster does.
Dont forget the SLS!
@@yeetensberg I did forget that. Oops!
@@yeetensberg I fixed it, thanks for telling me I forgot it.
@@dopeyanteater117 while you're at it, maybe throw the G63 in aswell? Not really the same but still an AMG?
@@yeetensberg I’ll add that too 😂
Hey shmee I thought you would keep pro till your GT black series turns solarbeam yellow
There's a same spec gtr pro for sale in Germany, is it yours?
A cool car! The future owner will be happy for sure with this awesome AMG GT R Pro. Thoughts on an AMG A45 for Püppi150, the new Shmuseumobile.
Thank you Shmee, onwards and upwards!
The GTR pro colour is definitely a shade darker than the C63, i noticed it just before you said it hahah!
Kinda not sad to see this go if I’m completely honest. With both the roadster and black series, it seemed a little redundant in the fleet. And we all know the room it’s leaving will allow something we don’t know about to fill it.
SF90
In my opinion he should also get rid of the GT roadster also seems redundant with the black series.
@@graysonsewell2801 He will, it’s only a matter of time. That car has absolutely zero reason to be in his collection.
@@graysonsewell2801 He will, it’s only a matter of time. That car has absolutely zero reason to be in his collection.
Its been a great and fun little journey with it!
Agree with what others said, thanks for mentioning the situation in SW Germany.
Thanks for the explanation. I never knew why you had so many GTs. But that makes sense now I know it's a face lift.
One of the most beautiful cars in the collection.
Stunning livery.
Cheers 🍺
Love that car I understand why you sold it still a beast though
I always did admire that white, sure am gonna miss it
Thanks for highlighting the issues over in the Nurburg region. Misha Charoudin and his crew have been total warriors battling on the front line to support badly affected families. I do hope that you can reach out further to your community to find a way to help. Thank you.
I guess my feedback would be - none of the other AMG’s come close to the Red Roadster, if Jessica Rabbit was alive today she’d be driving one. To me it’s the sweet spot, more money = less appealing car.
i agree with you
Maybe I missed it; but where is this car for sale?
When are bucketseats coming for the GT R roadster?
Not surprised at all. You bought into the GTR, GTR-pro, GTR-pro vert to get in line for the black series we all knew was coming. Time to let one of the Pros go and you tend to be a fan of the verts so I knew that the GTR-pro vert was gonna be staying for a while longer. Looking forward to see if you can complete your black series collection with the other 3 BS cars. Waiting for the GTR BS to get the break in mileage done with so you can take it out for a spirited drive finally. I know it has to be painful to hold back for these miles.
Glad to see the updated comments on the flooding watching Misha's video it looks absolutely horrific. Terrible for Germany. However in the videos I do see a good sense of community making the best of a bad time.
Would love to see a Singer Porsche added to the collection ;) Just for the classic bit
It was a shame I couldn’t stop n have a chat while trying to squeeze through that tight road in the rolls!! Haha
Which charger do you use for your EVs, Tim? You never seem to mention it...
I wonder how hard is it to import a GT R Pro to Australia?
Sorry to hear but I think it's the best decision considering you have the dream trio of Black Series now.
Would you buy the pro back in the future as a collectable?
Agree the GTR Pro is redundant now that the Black Series is in the garage. The GTR Roadster can be used now that the speed software glitch has been resolved. It should be a nice car to drive on the rare sunny days in the UK or to take to the south of France or Spain.
Are you thinking about getting one of every black series models that would be mad wonder how many people in the world have that as a collection also who is puppi who was in the video driving the senna
A sharp car, sad to see it go, but as you say, it makes sense.
Wish I could buy that from you. Perfect color and great build! 🤍
Sad to see the GT R Pro go. But I’m happy it got a proper send off! Some cars just disappear from your collection and I’m not the biggest fan of that
Why don't you use the race tracks around the UK?
Yes ! The gtr pro DOES look a little darker than the c63 y thought i was tripping but when you mentioned it o knew i was right
We understand the need to change out the AMG GT R Pro, but we are also pleased that we got to learn about the car. Thanks, Shmee 150.
will you ever complete the whole black series collection?
Time to catch em' all and get the remaining 3 black series!
We should start a drink game for every time Tim says "Black Series".... lol we'd be pretty drunk by the end of each video....
How many GTR roadsters is it?
We say goodbye to the Stormtrooper, no not mine Tim’s. Lol 😂
any update on the GT500?
In absolute awe of this collection, you must be an incredibly successful person.
The Audi looks nice, I have a new q2 s line on order and should be here end of august, not even close to your cars but I’m looking forward to my first Audi
Sad to see it go. Such a beautiful machine.
The depreciation on the AMG still seems much higher than it’s competitors!
How much would you take for it shmee? Would you sell it at a discount to a subscriber?
How much depreciation in% to new?
That depends what it sells for
Really Really sad to see this one go, I've started to follow the channel up close once you got this because at the time I was working at Mercedes and saw a GT-R Pro that I fell in love with, and I have always loved yours as well. Very sad but on to bigger and better things, but bring the GTBS to Portimao and Estoril since the Pro couldn't make it hahaha
Cheers 💪🏽😁
I must admit I do like the pro a lot but I’m glad to see it go and hopefully some more older cars will come in with the pro going.
