They all happen to have something in common, too! Their maker has never taken a break from pushing the limits.

We love seeing those older cars. They’re classically cool, and very impressive given the context of their cohorts. We’re also super excited about that last one, the Mercedes-AMG GT R. The 2018 model comes out in the summer of 2018 and we can barely wait that long.

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R is powered by a 4.0-liter V8, which produces 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. It’s made of lightweight materials like carbon fiber, making for a great power-to-weight ratio. With masterful aerodynamic engineering, the GT R is sleek and cuts easily through the air, using downforce to gain traction. Its max speed is 198 mph.

Mercedes-AMG took its AMG RIDE CONTROL® and AMG TRACTION CONTROL® systems right from its racecars and put them in the GT R for superior handling and power transfer. It’ll be legal on the roads, but the Mercedes-AMG GT R is race-inspired and will always be ready for a day at the track.

We can’t wait to see this incredible car up close!
