Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With a standalone trim on offer, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R has a base MSRP of $159,350 and competes directly with the Nissan GT-R NISMO, the Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe, and the Acura NSX. Only a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine is offered, mated to a 7-speed auto-manual 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 12 stunning colors, with the AMG Green Hell Magno being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

With no-nonsense character, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT R knows how to keep the ride quality engaging throughout. For this very exact reason, we recommend pairing the GT R with the optional AMG’s High-Performance Ceramic Composite Braking System and the AMG Exterior Carbon Fiber package for even better performance.
