“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.
Exterior and Interior
The 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT R takes clear inspiration from the SLS AMG, sharing its long-hood, wide-stance proportions and fastback roofline while adding its own aggressive identity. Unique elements include the vertical-slat Panamericana grille, enlarged air intakes, revised diffusers, and an adjustable rear wing — all of which underscore its track-focused character. Stripped of some luxury features to save weight, the GT R offers a purer driving experience while still allowing buyers to add back select options. This example was specified with both AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber Packages I & II, a Matte Carbon Fiber Crossbar, and Matte Carbon Fiber Interior Trim, blending motorsport style with everyday usability. Finished in Jupiter Red with red seat belts and a black Nappa/Dinamica Exclusive interior, it stands out visually while performance options like the AMG High-Performance Composite Braking System and 19”/20” forged twin 5-spoke wheels ensure capability on the track. Comfort and convenience are not forgotten, with the Burmester Surround Sound System, Convenience Package, and Active Distance Assist Distronic making it as enjoyable for road trips as it is for spirited drives.
Engine
The GT R isn’t just a standard GT with some extra carbon fiber on it. For starters, the handcrafted M178 4.0L BiTurbo V8 produces significantly more horsepower. It has the exhaust manifolds and turbocharges mounted between the 2 cylinder banks of the engine to minimize turbo lag. This engine, combined with the AMG Speedshift DCT 7-speed transmission gets the GT R to 60mph in a (factory claimed) 3.5s. The weight shedding, suspension upgrades and new aerodynamic components help it to handle well through the corners as well.
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.
AMG seems to be doing a fine job these days, especially if parent company Mercedes-Benz has deemed them worthy enough to enjoy their own model line-up. Impressive for a tuner company that started off as independent in 1967, and was totally absorbed by Mercedes-Benz in 2005. The Mercedes-AMG GT is a sports car and grand tourer that was produced between 2014 and 2021, and the first of the Mercedes-AMG line. The car enjoyed a prominent role as the official Safety Car for Formula 1 from 2015 onwards, with the GT R variant prevailing in the role from 2018. If you’re looking for one, here’s a 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe with just 11,017 miles on the clock that’s ready for action.

The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
This 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 2LT Z51 represents the C7 generation at its most enthusiast-focused, pairing unmistakable Corvette styling with the added performance hardware of the Z51 package. Finished in Shark Gray Metallic over a Jet Black interior, this example is equipped with the 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, Performance Data & Video Recorder, Carbon Flash badging, and black aluminum wheels. With just 14,860 miles showing, it brings together low mileage, desirable factory equipment, and the naturally aspirated V8 character that has long defined the Corvette.
The 2025 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe 3LT Z51 takes the already exotic mid-engine C8 formula and sharpens it into a more focused performance car without giving up the comfort and technology expected from a 3LT. Showing just 4,243 miles, this example is finished in Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat over a Sky Cool Gray interior and is equipped with the desirable Z51 Performance Package, forged 20-spoke wheels, front lift with memory, performance exhaust, and the Body-Color Dual Roof Package. Additional upgrades include a K&N air filter, carbon-fiber engine bay trim, radiator protection grilles, jacking pucks, paint protection film, and ceramic coating. With its low mileage, naturally aspirated V8, dual-clutch transmission, and thoughtfully selected performance and protection upgrades, this Corvette offers a compelling blend of supercar-style engineering and everyday usability.
This 2012 Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro R-Tronic Spyder brings together naturally aspirated V8 performance, open-top driving, and Audi’s aluminum-intensive supercar construction in one of the most distinctive configurations of the first-generation R8. Showing approximately 24,962 miles, this example is finished in Daytona Gray Pearl Effect with a black roof and a black leather interior accented by Lunar Silver contrast stitching. It is equipped with desirable features including the Enhanced Leather Package, Audi Navigation System Plus with MMI, Bang & Olufsen audio, the Convenience Package, and titanium-finish 19-inch forged wheels, giving it a strong blend of performance, technology, and luxury.
