Overview

The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With 2 trims on offer, the Mercedes-AMG GT R has a base MSRP of $162,900, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $199,650, competing directly with the Aston Martin Vantage, the Jaguar F-Type R, and the BMW M8. Only a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, the AMG GT R maintains a combined fuel economy of 17 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG GT R in 13 stunning colors, with the AMG Solar Beam Yellow Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. 

Buying Advice

If your budget has the capacity to afford the Mercedes-AMG GT R then we suggest sticking with the normal GT R version unless you are a collector who can’t pass on the latest AMG GT R Pro model which has only 750 units for global sale.
