Mercedes-AMG GT R 7.10,92 min Nordschleife HOT LAP sport auto World's Exclusive First Test

[@FoolBoyQ]

lets take a second to realize the skill of this driver. respect.

[@youview4796]

Absolutely 100% agree!

[@ceazy1861]

Amen

[@Malc180s]

No.

[@bigtrack3720]

This so underappreciated by most commenters here. You can see in the video the car is very, very good. But two other things really stand out: the tires make almost no noise (so clearly very soft) and Christian is a fantastic driver.

[@SteveReed33]

It's weird seeing such a good driver getting around in Auto mode tho!

[@Charlematic]

That AMG GT3 was like 'nice try little brother'

[@Laxgi89]

Looking this video, thinking "oh, this is fast". And then "brrrrrrmmm - overtaking by AMG GT3". What a beast!

[@zwodziarz]

Charleston Ramos Soeira I thought that's the Aston GT8 but the kights didn't match

[@MrNickelbacker]

I found it more impressive, how long he could stick behind him

[@melo2969]

LG Work where in this entire thread did anyone say it was?

[@StrangerHappened]

*But what about AMG GT4?* It should be street legal already, even though it is weaker than GT3 (and cheaper: GT3 costs about $450K and GT4 is "just" 250K).

[@mrSilwa]

Everyone who asks about tyres, read the description ! It's Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. This car is amazingly fast !

[@Gjeebs]

It takes large and hairy balls to drive on this track like that. I get sweaty palms in Forza let alone real life.

[@ChaseKongoogleplus]

I have at least 20 fatal collisions per lap when I drive the Nurburgring in Project Cars.

[@SportautoDe]

Again: No slicks or cutted slick-tyres were used for the lap time. AMG will offer two different versions of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 for the AMG GT R. A normal one, like it is available for the GT S, and a special one for track driving with a more sticky compound. BUT: Both versions of Cup 2 for the AMG GT R are fully street legal! You can compare the sticky Cup 2 for AMG GT R with the Cup 2 for the Corvette Z06. The grip level feels pretty similar!

[@UTVH21]

sport auto Respect.. How was the Temperatur AT that Day ? Perfect Condition or far away from that?

[@счастье33]

++++

[@vendettavenom]

Respect for the time. but which type of tyres was on the Porsche Spyder and the Ferrari 488? Is that the reason why the GT R are faster? Or is the only truth that AMG just built an amazing Car?

[@yoshope]

Sure.... ;-)

[@yoshope]

Why should a car with more power, more torque, more wheel drive, more aero and the same tires be slower than that wonderful Mercedes...

[@BenJamin-rt7ui]

I think Christian Gebhardt deserves some respect for that very committed lap.

[@Nextchapterinlife101]

Amg proved them self once again and this car is seriously fast , love it .

[@DickeJunge_vonderSchaukel]

Even the gt3rs with only 520hp did a 6:56. Amg is no match even with 585hp🤷‍♂️

[@carsandbikez]

Mercedes is dominant in F1 For a reason. and the new tech is proving it in road cars. no argument can be made about this.

[@onemorelap]

Sehr schöne Runde von Christian, grosses Kompliment!

[@robertmiller1984]

I had no idea this car was gonna be this good. Thats firkin impressive!!

[@tylersanders6703]

Extremely impressive and fast time. Such a good time form a publication to. Instead of a lot of laptimes with factory employees with laptops changing who knows what.

[@connykondylom]

Fully agree. The only really interesting comparisons are the SA laps! They say a lot more than the factory laps

[@JMartinni]

And the AMG GT3 drive-by was obviously just coincidence.

[@Kaisuke971]

You can clearly see the employees at 0:22, the only difference with a factory lap is that it's not a factory driver.

[@Ctrl952]

The way he followed the GT3 car 3:20-4:40 is freaking impressive!

[@Bergermans2]

Yeah it is. But it's pretty normal. GTR has no restrictor; so full 580 hp turbo against 550 hp atmo for GT3. And GTR has less aero. It's uphill, so with a good driver who knows the lines, he can keep up, just for that part. But Merc GT3 is so f@cking beautiful :)

[@enesalkovicguitar]

yep, but I say that GT R could do that lap 0.5 - 0.9 seconds faster if there wasnt that GT3 passing... I am really curios what time AMG GT3 does its under 7:00 for sure

[@TheDementation]

Funny the merc is clearly on slicks you can even see them at the start, and the GT3 still shits on it.

[@Ctrl952]

This was an independent test so why would it have slicks? Where exactly did you see slicks on it? The GT3 race car is about 300kg lighter than the GT R and has massively more aerodynamic grip. A modern day GT3 without success ballast would easily do sub 6:50.

[@frankgeiger7949]

No slicks, road legal cup tyres from merc.

[@MegaSasukeAmaterasu]

Thanks Sport Auto for putting the tyres used :)

[@RedfishCarolina]

I'm definitely not a Mercedes fan. But I genuinely love this car. Insanely quick, beautifully stylish inside and out.

[@denniskwok7613]

I think this is the best Nordschleife production car lap I've ever seen. Just maximum attack! Considering the layout of the car, the front axle grip and response of the GTR is just incredible. The car is a total weapon.

[@ponygt6629]

I am drooling for that machine Woooow Mercedes is the best auto maker on earth, What a brand,

[@ImOldGregg]

Holy shit that thing is fast

[@Yojikman]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mercedes-AMG rulzzzzz.... it has defeated 918 Spyder :)))))

[@ghost91977]

George Gagishvili sorry, not really 918 Spyder did in just 6:57.00 !!! C'mon now...

[@H0LDENSUX]

No, its not. It's slower than a Datsun - 7:08:68. nurburgringlaptimes.com/lap-times-top-100/

[@plus8580]

Mercedes rear wheel drive! Porsche 4 wheel drive +hyhrid engine!

[@H0LDENSUX]

Does it matter? Regardless of rear wheel or all wheel drive, the time it takes to complete 1 lap is how you logically measure how fast a thing is on this stretch of German made bitumen.

[@hamlettelmah441]

@1:14 adjusts his personal middle sectors settings real quick. What an amazing lap, oh and he did all this without any racing GLOVES people. Now i wanna watch the other Merc's video, that thing was fOOking fast.

[@n4tsume826]

man, this green monster is really fast! good handling, good stability, and good traction... welldone AMG and driver!

[@sandymclea]

Batman: "Do you have it in a matt black?"

[@Bungle]

[@edwatters5788]

Amazing how well the car grips- no tire squeal/squirm or under/oversteer at all almost. Must have a really good set of michelin pilot sport cup 2's.

[@feli0to0the0x]

[@PorscheGTRSWeissach]

Hallo nochmal! Wahnsinn, wieviele Leute hier kommentieren! Dieser Supertest sorgt ja mächtig für Wirbel! Wer hätte das gedacht? ;-)

[@stephanelecreux6840]

When you're looking after the last seconds on the ring or the last tenths on a regular track, tires are everything. Everybody remember this crazy frenchie who patiently managed to get under 10' with a tiny Citroen AX diesel (58hp). Aside from his sheer dedication, his two keypoints were the "added lightness", à la Chapman, and the Yokohama Advan A048. Standard cheapo Michelin would have needed at least one MINUTE more...

[@Mike-vv9xt]

I like mercedes style, showing up in a satin finished green gtr.. appropriate for the green hell.

[@mandela_explains]

The Beast of the Green Hell is king of Nurburgring, it's best performance, it drives like a V12, loud ass machine. Germany really made one hell of a car

[@amariamg63]

[@ajunta2270]

Honestly, looking at the lap, it could've been even better. Being passed by the GT3 car there was some time lost. If it were hotter there would have probably been more grip... Maybe I'm wrong, but I definitely feel there's more time in the car. Outstanding.

[@abdjr.247]

[@MrJereJo-Gaming]

I would not dare to be the passenger. To control a car like the AMG GTR costs soo much skill. The car is soo slippery and almost wants to drift and slide in every corner. Im amazed at how much grip this driver made the car have. SCARY !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@janiron1899]

Mad cornering speed. Props to both mercedes-amg and to the driver, christian gebhardt.

[@bigtrack3720]

Props to AMG if they sell this car with that particular compound on the Sport Cup 2's (the tires were nearly silent the entire lap), but clearly the car is extremely capable and Christian's skills are exceptional. Sport Auto: please have a big comparison test with other top contenders soon with Christian driving them all....

[@gtamotorsport9777]

Hi Christian, congratulations, amazing lap and no 4 point harness! Did this car have ceramic brakes and AMG Track package with roll cage? We will be testing and playing with our AMG GTR at the ring next spring and summer. p.s. I look forward to you having another go with 488 GTB, I think (and I am ready to bet) you can do quicker lap than 7.21.

[@Thor86-]

Mercedes Rules as always! Mercedes can't anyone stop now, except Porsche, Lamborghini etc., but Mercedes does not end with this amazing car, there is soon also coming the new C63 Black Series Coupe or the Hypercar AMG R50, which will destroy definitely anything, the other two competitors (Bmw, Audi) are no more opponents in the sportscar area for Mercedes! This is an absolute fact!

[@Thor86-]

Leety McLeet if you a Bmw or Audi Fanboy you must agree! If not, then you are an envious fanboy who imagine arguments to ignore this fact.

[@Thor86-]

Leety McLeet lol From bmw you can not buy anyway because they have no supercars ;D. Otherwise thats your opinion, but i think Mercedes built very good supercars, you can also see the Nurburgring-Laptime of AMG GTR which is simply very good, even better than the fastest stock Porsche ever built (918 Spyder), I do not understand why you would not buy a supercar from Mercedes, thats inexplicable to me.

[@Thor86-]

Leety McLeet Porsche 918 Spyder: 7:13 Mercedes AMG-GTR: 7:10 ;) I will say it not only based on the F1 success of Mercedes, when you have a look at the Nürburging lap times, you will see that Mercedes can play well at the top, to example SLS Black Series: 7:25 this lap time was not reached or beaten by any Bmw or Audi model up to now and a few more, and I said that only "Bmw and Audi are no more opponents for Mercedes "EXCEPT" Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini etc."read exactly what I wrote, you mean Ford and Jaguar opponents as Mercedes in the sports car category? LMFAO :D. Thats ridiculous to compare these two brands in this category with Mercedes, and especially "FORD" wtf?!? How many sports cars did they have? And how many good lap times or successes did they have on Tracks? LOOL

[@Thor86-]

Leety McLeet LOL this is the Laptime of the Porsche 918 Spyder with "Weissach package tuning" (lighter, more horsepower), the regular (stock) Laptime of Porsche 918 Spyder on Nürburgring is 7:13, and besides the AMG GTR had not even slicks on it only normal road tires, i am sure it will create with Slicks the laptime under 7 minutes, inform you better before you play here the "smart aleck", wish you a nice 2017 ;)

[@GohardGTRSCars]

[@Kaisuke971]

BOB BOB 3 months you trippin' man i never seen you before. And 6:30 is 17 seconds faster than the Zonda R on slicks so i'm not convinced... And Aston got that new Red Bull Hypercar anyway so chill.

[@BasuSatwik]

All the butthurts complaining it had the Slicks because it just beat the 918 (as per this magazine's lap records) with all the hybrid tech, awd and around 5 times the price.

[@Kaisuke971]

It's not about being butthurt, 99,99% of us can't afford this car or a class of its league, we don't work at Porsche, Ferrari or Nissan, and this really doesn't have any direct impact on our lives. We have absolutely no reason to be butthurt, we're not kids idolatring a brand like it's a sport team or something. It's just that we are car guys, and it's really intriguing that this car is claimed to be faster around the Nordschleife than a track-focused 1600kg mid-engined 887hp AWD hybrid hypercar in what are presented as "similar conditions". On paper it doesn't make any form of sense. And it's not even like when the GT-R's laps didn't make sense, because in fact the electronics at the time were beyond anything in its segment. You could argue that AMG built a revolutionary car tech-wise, but there is no tech used here that is clearly superior to what Porsche had back in 2012, nothing at all. The 918 couldn't have ran out of juice, because it has a 6.8kwH battery and energy recovery, and it has probably been designed exclusively to be able to do a full lap at the Nürb. Now here are the explanations: these aren't similar conditions. The Track has been repaved in some parts, it's not the same driver, the 918 was driven in an hotter day (the 918's batteries heat up a lot) and as far as i know AMG did more adjustment on the car here than Porsche at the time. I'm not trying to the take credit from Mercedes, just clarifying.

[@BasuSatwik]

Kaisuke971 I respect your opinion. It may look like it doesn't have much tech but you have to go through all the official videos of it to see all the gizmos it has. Also 50-80% of the total downforce is produced by the underbody and merc has really concentrated on it. Ask a F1 aero expert about how good is an exhaust blown double diffuser is, he will tell you that it is the most efficient and effective way to produce downforce with negligible drag plus it has a CF stiffening structure stuck on it's chassis. I dont think anything in the current market offers any of this. There is also has an active aero element at the front end which lowers itself at higher speed to again produce downforce without drag.

[@BasuSatwik]

Do some research on aerodynamics then you will know the importance and effectiveness of these devices. Also on a side note, The holy trinity of hybrid hypercars aren't really that good with aero, downforce and mechanical grip compared to real racecars. That's why the Viper ACR even though it's not nearly as powerful but is on par with them.

[@Kaisuke971]

Satwik Basu I'm not saying it doesn't have much tech, because obviously this car got a massive diffuser and i reckon the wing has a bigger surface than the ones on the sort of 911 GT3 or Viper TA 2.0, plus it has all wheel steering, great engine this 4.0 and probably GT3-derived suspensions. Technologically speaking, this is probably the most advanced sport car on the market right now, it seems to have that one step above the GT3RS, but it's not hypercar level though. Could you compare this to the P1 ? No. The 918 Weissach ? no. It's still one step below, these cars have carbon tubs, mid engine setups, the P1 has a completely unique suspension, the 918 has the best hybrid system yet... That's what i'm saying. It's not like this car has something the others don't, the element that would make me and many others go "Oh that's why". And the 7 Series has "carbon core" i reckon what you're talking about is a similar technique. But it's still inferior to a full carbon chassis. And the P1 has the second best downforce on the market so it's not bad either. I think right after it is the 918 as well.

[@BasuSatwik]

Kaisuke971 Yes, that is true. It doesn't have the oomph factor of the hypercars. So we just have to wait for the factory results for the final numbers.

[@lh1690]

The Mercedes reaches the same top speed as the 918 on the döttinger Höhe+the driver is a bit more aggressive than mr von saurma in the 918 supertest lap+tire development is super fast these days. Just remember the zr1, it did a lot of lap records in it's last production year when it got the then new Michelins

Fast time. Impressive car. Good job AMG. I need to get this deal where commenting on how awesome BMW's are and hating on every other vehicles gets me a discount on a Bimmer. Calm down guys. BMW may not have something this fast at the moment but I'm sure they'll come up with something. Please don't compare this to an M4 GTS. I find it interesting that Porsche fans/drivers aren't on here throwing shade....Maybe it's a class thing.

Great lap, great car but man I hate it how people don't start and end the lap at the same exact spot. Seriously great lap though!

[@teamracing07]

That's the way they have always done laps round the ring. The lap starts right before the first corner and ends right after the last corner

[@v_alexiadis]

teamracing07 Not always. I've seen videos starting and ending the lap right after the last corner. Don't ask me which ones, I don't remember. I think officially that's where the lap starts and ends.

[@teamracing07]

might be, but if you look at the top 15 lap times done by a production street car, is made on the way i mentioned. no need to be so mad about something that's been around for a while already. that is just the way it has been. Yes it may be different sometimes in like races but so what?

[@v_alexiadis]

teamracing07 I'm not mad about it mate I'm just bringing it up for the sake of conversation.

I remember this is the top 10 best record video. But just saw he is passed by amg gt3. Am I seeing anything wrong?
