AMG GT R: The Definitive AMG Fan Review! | SPEED REVIEW

THIS is the AMG Beast of the Green Hell in action, in our new short review series! Quick BUT action packed, hosted by @rokenr of Instagram, this Review features:

- AMG GT R origins
- Design
- Power & Performance

The flagship of the AMG GT Family, the GT R is a rabid track beast, but one that is equally at home as a daily driver. My car is fitted with the AMG Track Package, giving added roll cage and four point harness, just like in the new F1 Safety car version; yet the car loses no practicality with this.

I discuss what makes this one of the best supercars in the world, as well as news about the new rumoured AMG GT R Clubsport, and the eventual return of Black Series in the AMG GT Black!

Up next on on RBR is the Full Review of the M4 CS!! Subscribe to see it first! Also follow us on Instagram below for daily content!

"With the new AMG GT R, we have reached the next level of driving performance. It combines the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3 racing car with the everyday practicality of the AMG GT" - Tobias Moers, AMG CEO

We hope you guys enjoyed that speed review of the Beast of the Green Hell! :)

Love the shorter videos bruh. Seeing a 20 odd min video can be a deterrent sometimes. Good content, keep it coming !

2:14 "It is a better engine in every conceivable way than from the previous naturally aspirated engine" - That's absolutely correct, people criticise the new 4.0L engine a lot, but when you get behind the wheel of one, you start to appreciate just how damn good it is. Instant torque (literally feels like a supercharged engine), incredibly efficient for a V8, loud muscular sound with pops/bangs and when you put your foot down, it just keeps going. It's a very capable engine!

Hope there is a good Black Series with an authentic 'Black Series' theme. Loved all of the other black series, and hope that won't end soon... High standards have been set

Excellent review, opinion, and camera angles abound. Thanks! Love that green GTR.

[TobiasHenreich]

GT R is fast. And around corners quick. Sound is amazing and the looks are sick.

[JayEmmOnCars]

Great review. I've driven one of these only very briefly, at Millbrook. I'm curious to see how they drive on the roads, because it felt VERY stiff to me. Possibly too much for bumpy B-Roads?

[SidNorth]

Love these short sweet reviews Raz 👍🏽. Keep them coming 🙌🏽

[DanielSadjadian]

Love the AMG GTR, it's a stunning car! Got the chance the drive one recently at Mercedes-Benz World (when you were out in Dubai), absolutely loved it!! The V8 engine is thunderous, it sounds so damn good and the turbo is literally non exinsistant - I'm truly amazed by this, as I've driven the CLS63 AMG with the 5.5 engine which had a fair of turbo lag.

[averageafrican]

I agree, the engine is incredible, but having recently driven a sl 63 with the 6.3(6.2) n/a there is just something about the high pitched whine and the low grumbling exhaust that is truly awesome

[DanielSadjadian]

Do you think we'll see the '73' version in the GT lineup or current models updated in the future with the upcoming V8 Hybrid powertrain?

[GohardGTRSCars]

Great review as always. Would be great to have another review of the GTR on track (I mean a 'real' long track like Silverstone and not the one from the Mercedes dealer where you picked up the car).

[dannymccaig]

Sounds nearly as loud as my C43 😂.
(Joke) this sounds insane !

[Tampanda]

I agree with you on all of it but the sound. That 6.2l sounded much better. Deeper, more gnarly grunt.

[davidnimmo]

First time watching your channel really enjoyed it.I also love the drone footage cool episode 👍

[westpalmdoc]

great great video. gotta ask as i am considering this vehicle, preowned- did this car turn into a reliability nightmare?? assuming u kept it long enough. i have examined a lot of the service records on these 2018 gtrs and they seem to live in the shop, with all sorts of problems, some having had even transmissions that needed replacement.

[thecat-]

Good review! Question: how would you compare those AMG bucket seats to AMG Performance seats which are also an option for the GTR? EDIT: Found your answer in the 'Two GT R's + SLS' video haha. Thanks!

[mikev]

I would love to see you review Aston Martin Vantage!👍

[jaredgreen]

RAZ will you ever get your GTR tuned by like Renntech or something?? They have a 835bhp GTR package..

[danielyionline]

Hello mr amg, I’m looking to purchase a gtr but I can’t find any information regarding the difference between an edition 1 gtr and and a regular gtr. Do you have any idea?
