Mr AMG on the AMG GT R Pro! Road Legal Track Demon!!

Next Level before Black Series!! This is the more extreme AMG GT R, the PRO! Not that anyone one ever came away from a the normal R thinking it’s slow, but AMG are so engrossed in motorsport that they cant help but upgrade.
The performance versions of the GT family really started off with the most extreme car, the track only customer racing AMG GT3. Of course I’ll show you this, with it’s naturally aspirated M159 V8 from the days of the C63 and SLS, including black series.
AMG have been racing with this car for years now, and during this time took what they learnt and applied it to the standard AMG GT, created the AMG GT R, aka the beast of the green hell. With lightweight construction, 585 BHP, an impressive Nürburgring lap time, and the naughty traction buttton from that GT3 car it’s one of the most extreme cars on the road.
Then AMG made the AMG GT4, also a track only customer racing car, this time ironically based on the GTR.
And now taking what they have learnt in both their GT 3 and GT 4 cars, and incorporated it into the GT R: the GT R Pro, a 750 unit limited numbers car!! Happy to say I’m getting one soon too!!
AMG categorise the enhancements from motorsport in 4 areas: Suspension, Aerodynamics, lightweight construction, AND Looks! So we’re going to take a look at all the new aero providing the 100kg extra downforce, the weight saving to reduce the 25kg off the original 1645kg kerb weight and a look at every external detail!! Including a look at some Surprising links like the 190E EVO 2 Cosworth!
Spec wise you’ll notice the carbon package 1 and 2 are standard too. And with this spec you get the light green stripes reminiscent of the GT4 and GT3 racing car. BUT for those of us who’d prefer to spec differently, you can get the full choice of GT R paint colours, every other spec comes with Graphite stripes.
All those changes allowed AMG to shaved a huge 10 seconds off their original Ring lap time, driven by my buddy Maro Engel, for a time of 7:04 which is a commendable improvement.
But does it differ enough to the GT R in standard form? Is it louder, or the same with the addition of the particle OPF filter? What’s it like on track?!

Love this car! Thoughts guys?! Enjoy the show? Will show you when I collect mine at MB World Brooklands in the Summer! Will NOT look like this or any other you have seen online. 👍🏼 Will then take it straight to Silverstone after it’s run in 😈

[@marcnobel3938]

Car looks great. I just dont like the "Pro Stickers" on the car. That`s the only thing i would not choose.

[@faz8055]

Wait for the Black Series version!

[@jan.lotvall]

You make the coolest shoots of all car-vloggers! Congrats!

[@moimoi4725]

When are you going to review Lotus cars?

[@MedlifeCrisis]

Hi mate, picked up my new C43 AMG yesterday after many years of not really giving Mercedes any love at all (had my beloved 1M stolen and haven't been able to face buying another BMW so expanded my horizons). Just wanted to say you were a fairly important factor, found your videos useful and well made as someone learning about AMGs and now becoming an owner. Thanks!

[@GamingSince1991]

I am BMW enthuasist but god Mercedes got some lovely cars big respect to this channel and both car brands.

[@vedadrokkor]

BMW needs to make new Z8 but to be R8 and GTR killer and not a GT car like the upcoming M8 will be.

[@kicktheeighth7297]

I love how at 0:54 the cars switch places

[@jeromea4679]

Your videos are absolutely fantastic, very underrated car reviewer

[@BehradDavoudi]

the amount of effort went in to this video is CRAZY! well done raz

[@DanielSadjadian]

On board track shots are so awesome, great job 👍

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Daniel Sadjadian Thanks man!!

[@christophergresco9677]

Daniel did you ever get yourself a new AMG?

[@sabfit4life277]

Smashed it!! That's why they call you Mr AMG!!! 🔥

[@FeatherGlow1]

At first I was a bit miffed that the GTR Pro isn't available in Australia. But then I realised it doesn't matter because I could never afford one anyway.

[@ausfahrttvnews]

Unfortunately, I can not speak and understand english so well. But I like to watch your channel. Great effects. Funny. Informative. Thank you for that and many greetings from Germany.

[@leonz631]

Another groundbreaking video! Way better than most others👍🏻

[@thebigsdog]

great video. Any day soon, your channel will start getting mainstream attention, well deserved :)

[@parid.kushta]

Rarely have i found intro's enjoyable, but i have to say as of now i found yours majestic! I giggle pretty much like a little kid when a new video of yours shows up. Congrats to you and the video producers.

[@ingodieterviehweger2762]

Great video, amazing sound, unbelievable Mercedes Benz AMG T R Pro, just the best, driven by a master!

[@newjerseymotorsports]

Wow! Will 110% need one of these track demons ripping rubber on our TWO road tracks this summer! Thunderbolt and Lightning!

[@blablablablaetc]

In love with the channel, keep up the work man :D

[@dn252]

This whole video is awesome!!!!

[@zigglershow5383]

Love the new headlight, looks more aggressive than prev one 👍

[@michaelnaidoo3350]

As a vfx editor I truly appreciate the effort you put into all your video reviews. Great job! Love the content.

[@popdog2977]

Amazing car amazing video thanks Mr. AMG!!

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Pop Dog most welcome!

[@DanielSadjadian]

What a weapon, I’d love to drive this on track. Beautiful car 👍

[@phetogokgathi4217]

The history lessons are always informative

[@1goad727]

Amazing car, amazing video

[@H-BOMB007]

Awesome content.. As usual. 👍

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

H- Bomb thanks man!

[@annazaharova8046]

Cool brutal cars!!!

[@arcinvert]

I wonder why the facelift didnt change the side mirrors to the new design 🤔

[@amrens3187]

People don’t understand how great a KZbin you are! I struggle To find others like this! Could anyone help me out? (Aside from joe Achilles, Shmee, Mat Watson)

[@TobiasHenreich]

First track I've ever raced myself in a GT S

[@frederickontour1478]

Sick!!

[@RemoveBeforeRace]

Frederick OnTour 👊🏼

[@donelmediterraneo8626]

Your channel would be perfect with a S65 V12 review before they'll be gone...

[@Darksagan]

Life of Palos was right. Great content.

[@DanielSadjadian]

It still sounds pretty good despite the particulate filter, which shouldn't;t be a suprise considering how good the new C63S and GT63S sound. Still though would have been even nicer if it didn't have a particulate filter like the pre-facelift GT.

[@aftengoinky773]

When is the "in use" AMG gt 63 S video coming?

[@DanielSadjadian]

Speaking of the gearbox, I thought it would have been upgraded to the new 8 speed DCT? (which they have on the new A35 and presumably the next gen A45).

[@HypnOlli]

I bet it's designed for cars with less power..

[@Emadavid]

Great video as always The fact that this racing car is not even able to run sub 7 minutes in the 'ring really makes me appreciate it Porsche and Lamborghini. No shade to the gtr pro, great car nonetheless

[@HypnOlli]

Yeah cause its extra weight..But I think those lap times are all controversial.. For example the times made by Porsche and Lambo were done by themselves with their own factory drivers..The time made by the amg was done by Sport auto magazine in DECEMBER while the others in summer time.. ..You think it couldn't go under 7 done by Merc themselves in the summer?

[@BMW7series251]

Thanks for the video. I see Smee has one on order. Don't know why when his AMG GTR has +700 BHP!!

[@phetogokgathi4217]

john coleman because this one is limited and that makes it a piece of history

[@oneman7638]

I remember the days where a car weighing 1600 kg was considered heavy. A light car was supposed to be 1 ton to 1.2 tons.

[@moimoi4725]

When are you going to review Lotus cars?

[@Br0di]

The editing is insane! Thats the reason, why i subscribed you! Well done! Love this cars! Wish you all the best

[@Pob2278]

Is this better than the GTR?

[@ziggyfreud5357]

Very nice car. Looks and sounds great. Just a bit too much weight IMO

[@alimirza7907]

Proud that you are a Mercedes fan itself, but hope that you will upgrade your cameras to 4K @ 60FPS. Your mobile phone, all of your GoPros, hope you upload them in 4K@60FPS, they look already stunning on my LG G7's 3120X1440 high resolution display (RIP iPhone). I still prefer MERCEDES-BENZ whenever you review other brands. The Best Or Nothing!

[@andreifilipovici790]

@life of palos Sent me here

[@Jakrabat94]

I love your videos, but I’m still kinda pissed regarding the ”competition” and that you haven’t announced a winner. It’s not about the price itself, it’s about the respect for the community and the trust. The winner should’ve been announced several weeks ago.

[@caxsfSpeedster]

This car clearly needs more power

[@imar87]

why did people care about track numbers if they want to buy a car ?

[@bleuprint7305]

Gullwings 😢

[@patoches]

😊😊😊👍👍

[@airwavesfromholland]

I always loved the GT-R, and now with the new digital dash and the total look of this Demon. I need to get rich or marry a rich woman 😊😢

[@chicken4967]

Come on AMG! No power boost over the GTR!

[@DanielSadjadian]

Virtu the regular GTR is already damn fast though. Drove one on track a few days ago, it’s so fast!

[@lukaposeidon8490]

I think they should have added at least 25 to make it 600.If for nothing just to be more powerful than the standard GTR

[@chicken4967]

Daniel Sadjadian There’s no arguing with that but it would’ve been nice to have a simple power boost for the Moral value like maybe 10hp

[@senitnelav]

Well maybe they'll do that for the upcoming GTR Black Series

[@daveb5211]

All the car bloggers go to the same events and drive the same cars and post the same vids within days of each other.

[@leelifeson9150]

The wheels are a bit boring!

[@oneman7638]

Is this just me? I mysteriously dig the GTR sound, but I do not like the way a c63 amg sounds.

[@GoodForNothingDrums]

Yes it is just you

[@oneman7638]

@@GoodForNothingDrums honest man, I- ve since found people who share my liking. No need for your reproach 😁

[@phantom2k10]

This is rarer than the svj.lambo hold this L

[@greyhamlogan2255]

So even at this speed, the Dodge Demon should hold the track record for a rear wheel drive vehicle if it tried.

[@iramiyahira8301]

Sounds. Like. A. German. Muscle. Car...but. It.s highly. Refined!!! Not. At. All. RAW..as the. Expression." Muscle " Can. Provoke!!! A. "Muscled. Thoroughbred"... That's. It!!!
