Renowned Mercedes-Benz aftermarket tuners AMG did such a good job on the firm’s models, that they were absorbed by Mercedes-Benz in 2005, and now have the honor of their models being known as Mercedes-AMG vehicles. That’s indeed a great achievement, and if you want to know why, this 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe is a great way to learn. Produced from 2014 onwards, the AMG GT series is a fine grand tourer that can be had as a fastback coupe, or a roadster. The R variant is the higher performance variant of this already high performance car, and this example comes to you with just 3,469 miles since new.
Wearing a Green Hell Magno paint job, this 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe simply looks menacing, and out for a fight with anything that so much as looks at it the wrong way. AMG matte carbon fiber trim and staggered AMG twin five spoke forged wheels in black only add to its fearsome looks. These wheels are 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear, all wrapped in extreme performance sport tires. Yellow AMG brake calipers peek out from behind the spokes. Climb aboard the cabin, stepping over the AMG illuminated door sill panel and this two-seat accommodation is actually very comfortable, and luxurious as one would expect in a Mercedes-Benz. A multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control, Burmester high end surround sound system, convenience package, lane tracking package and Distronic Plus are some of the tech toys you can enjoy in this black nappa leather with yellow stitching themed interior, while held firmly in your seats by yellow seat belts, that’s also got the exclusive interior package. The cross bar is also done in matte carbon fiber.
Gone are the six-plus liter V12 engines of the Mercedes-Benz AMG era that preceded this 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe. In their place is the automaker’s much-lauded M178 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine that’s rated for 577hp and 516lb-ft in this R variant. Sending drive to the rear wheels via a 7-speed AMG Speedshift dual clutch transmission, it’s all good for zero to sixty in just 3.6 seconds, and head all the way up to 198mph. Massive ventilated and drilled disc brakes are on hand for steady stops when it’s time to snap back to reality.

“Mercedes-AMG GT R” is one of the sportiest names a sports car could have. Of course, choosing such a name sets the bar very high, but AMG is a company that knows what they are doing, and the GT R lives up to all expectations. The base version of the car, the Mercedes-AMG GT, is a grand tourer (as suggested by the name), meaning that it was quick but was less performance-oriented, aiming at a good compromise between performance and luxury (and comfort). The GT R is the high-performance version, removing the “unnecessary” pieces of convenience and luxury in favor of better performance. This is very clearly a driver’s (or racer’s) car. It may not be the version you want to daily drive, but it’s definitely the car you want to be in on a track day.
Mercedes Benz wowed us with their AMG GT R when it debuted in 2017 notably with its menacing looks and competitive specs. It appears as though Mercedes let their stylists go mental and the performance engineers wanted a free hand too. It makes a compelling case against many of the established sports cars and for the 2020 model year, it only got better. Three versions were introduced, two being limited edition models. The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Roadster, like the example we are showing here, is limited to only 750 units. This specimen shows 24,250 miles on its odometer and currently resides in New York.

Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes. This was during an 18-year production run that spanned 1971 to 1989. Impressive as the figure may be for a luxury car, it’s even more admirable when you consider that just over 300,000 were made in total! In fact, more R107 SLs found homes Stateside than they did in Germany or anywhere else in the world. Today, there’s no shortage of fine examples, thanks to the car’s superb Mercedes-Benz build quality. Hence, this Texas-based 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a rather sensible purchase to make, even if you have no idea about classic cars. With its 5.6-liter V8, 4-speed automatic gearbox and aftermarket Kenwood stereo unit, it’s a sound choice. Don’t worry about the 142,000 miles on the odometer, these cars are built to go the distance if maintained well.
In 1971, Mercedes-Benz revealed the R107 generation of their popular SL-Class luxury grand tourer. It took over from the W113 ‘Pagoda’ which defined Sixties Mercedes-Benz two-door cars in Europe and North America. The R107 brought new design, updated engineering, and a removable hardtop as key features. It would be made until 1989, with 300,175 units produced during this time. Interestingly, over 204,000 of those units came to the United States, representing a 68% share of total production! Now, you can still find many of these cars running happily, because they were built during a time when planned obsolescence wasn’t even conceived of. That’s why they are the perfect starter classic, even for a younger person. Today’s 1976 Mercedes-Benz 450SL comes from Boulder and has a low 31,000 miles on the clock. With its 4.5-liter fuel-injected V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox it’s already ticking the right boxes for a classic car. Add the Becker Mexico cassette stereo into the mix, and you’ve got a winner!
