Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO review: see why it's worth £190,000!

Visit carwow to save money on your next car - www.carwow.com
This is the absolutely insane Mercedes-AMG GT R PRO! It’s the most hardcore version of the GT R ever released, featuring a whole load of updates both inside and out!
When it comes to the exterior, you’ll find a load of aero updates from the front to the rear, while on the inside there’s carbon fibre seats and even a roll cage! Under the bonnet, you’ll find the same 4-litre twin-turbo V8 as in the regular GT R. But when that produces 585hp and 700Nm of torque, it's easily more than enough! But with a price tag of £188,000, is it worth it?! Let us know in the comments below!

Most reviewers get a few things wrong: EVERY GT has carbon braces under the chassis. The Pro and GTR have 1 additional brace each, respectively. But the main brace is carbon on all cars. EVERY GT (if optioned) has the adjustable suspension and transmission mounts (highly recommended). Front splitter on the Pro is NOT adjustable. It just looks like it is.
