Mercedes-Benz's enthusiast performance vehicle line, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is a grand tourer with performance to match with supercars. It has been produced from 2014 to the present day. The AMG GT derives its pedigree from the likes of the SLS AMG, SLR McLaren, and the 300 SL. From 2014 to 2022 was its first generation before being supplanted by the AMG GT Black Series. Ten variants were built throughout the first generation, with the GT Black Series being its most powerful variant. Up for grabs is a face-lifted high-performance 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R with just 19,200 miles on the odometer and some under-the-hood subtle upgrades to eke out every single hp of power from the car.

Exterior and Interior

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R was available in two standard colors as well as 10 premium or Designo colors. The coupe featured in this listing boasts the Designo Selenite Gray Magno exterior finish. According to the seller, a ceramic coating has been applied to the PPF, interior, and wheels to provide an additional layer of protection. The AMG Matte Carbon Fiber Trim adorns the front splitter, wing fins, side sill trim strips, and diffuser with carbon fiber elements, while the AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Package II includes a carbon fiber rear fixed wing with lateral plates in carbon fiber. The brake calipers are painted in Bronze with a black AMG script, and the AMG 10-spoke forged wheels feature a black high-sheen finish rim flange. Upon entry to the interior, the AMG Carbon Fiber Sill Covers are a striking feature. The interior features exclusive DINAMICA leather upholstery in black with yellow top stitch, complemented by AMG Matte Carbon Fiber trim in place of the standard Black Piano Lacquer trim. The AMG Performance seats offer power functions, heating, and memory options. The Convenience Package includes a garage door opener, auto-dimming mirrors, power-folding exterior mirrors, and keyless go options. Other notable features and options include a matte carbon fiber rear crossbar, DISTRONIC Plus, and a Burmester Surround Sound System with ten speakers.

Engine

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that generates an impressive 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 198 mph, both of which are factory specifications. However, with the addition of the Eurocharged Stage 2 ECU tune, catless downpipes, and Black Boost intakes, we anticipate that performance will be elevated even further. The AMG Carbon Ceramic Braking System enhances stopping power and ensures optimal safety.
