The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R is a High Performance Treat | Road Test

[@Vaultzero]

This guy is the original car reviewer, no sketches, no crowd and no nonsense. Love me some Top Gear (Hammond, Clarkson and May) but these are bare bones reviews. Retro Reviews all the way to these new videos are awesome

[@hvn919]

I'm in my 40s now and I remember watching him on PBS during my high school years. Glad to see some things don't change!

[@Vaultzero]

Carlover88 Z Okay. He’s still this guy to me.

[@jimisonfireparralax5670]

To help me fall asleep, I watch back to back retros.

[@bghoody5665]

Love the sound of an AMG.

[@rj9617]

Rear end styling on this car is perfection!

[@inomad]

I am glad this AMG still has rear wheel drive.

[@kiabrown7013]

Beautiful and wicked looking love the screen and sounds

[@crazyeyez1502]

Love that color.......

[@otsenres1636]

That color is sick!

[@JEdmund81]

Love the proportions, silhouette, and overall look of this car so much.

[@oliverroo59]

1:33 might be the best angle of any current production car. Oof, this is a gorgeous piece of machinery.

[@ricomartinez2869]

It's kinda a german Viper

[@ricomartinez2869]

@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. That's why it's an european version/vision of the Viper you know..."baby sitting"...."more delicate"...."more expensive"....Viper is brutal power for the people...its a previous and more raw version of this beamer, basically the same basic concept Gran Tourer with a long hood and a big engine (For european standard this Benz it's a big block piece)

[@crazyeyez1502]

I also see the resemblance, sorta. Bubble like cab, and lonnng hood, and not much to the tail.

[@dietrichwilliams2913]

Seen a few of these on the road, an these things are beyond wicked!, see it at a stoplight, damn thing looks like a spaceship!, an the brake rotors are the size of captain america's shield!!!

[@jasonsmith1143]

The PERFECT yellow BENZ 👍💪

[@richardmiller6422]

Why are so many different manufacturers using this 4.0 liter V8? It is in everything high end.

[@ascott2168]

THAT DAMN COLOR 😍😍😍😍💛

[@TheHelghast1138]

Absolute Monster 🏁🏁🏁

[@markbaum9615]

If Porsche made a modern 928...... It would have this rear end styling...

[@julianmares9496]

One of the best performance Benz in history...

[@Oversight85]

2018 low mileage models in Canada are currently dipping to $150,000 CAD - that's more like it.

[@getoutofthetimetrap5435]

I think Porsche had that style in the 928 first way back in the ‘80’s looks dated today

[@1beck2en3ham]

The wheel's angle were adjusted in the right angle so the car is very fast in the track.

[@jevouneyireland4454]

Best car ever.

[@rebelusa6585]

Mercedes still have high quality all those years, motorweek still have high quality all those years.

[@Bruder_42]

I prefere the prefacelifted version. Because it was much louder.

[@Alexander_Timonin]

This is an incredible car. If I win the Lottery, one in green please!

[@philsalley3278]

So the $163k is no match for a $60k C8 (> $82k for top LT# trim/Z51/Performance Exhaust/Performance Exhaust/wheel upgrade) which is faster to 60 and the 1/4 mile by big margins. Motor Trend describes the C8's ride as being almost luxury car. So for 99.99 percent of real world users the C8 is not just a better value, it is a better sports car. Even the 911s can only match the C8's acceleration numbers so once again the C8 wins. Game, set, and match.

[@asdfasdf3240]

Someone who can afford a 200k car will probably not be cross shopping with a corvette. I wouldn't. I'd be looking at gt3s and mclarens. They're just on a different league.

[@philsalley3278]

@@asdfasdf3240 Well I can afford a $200k or a $1m car yet chose to drive a Corvette. I bought a AMG GTS but sold it 3 wks later and kept my C7 because it was clearly the better car to enjoy everyday and based on over 20 years of driving Corvettes, it will rarely be visiting the dealer to be 'fixed'. The C8 matches and exceeds the AMG and the 911s in almost every category including the interior design and quality and simply rides better than any of them. The GT3 is a race car that few people would want to live with on a day to day basis. McLaren 720S is probably about the fastest street car out there but hardly a daily driver and you have to think that a Z06/ZRI C8 will be able to mount a real challenge. The Boxter/Cayman, F type Jag, BMW Z4 have all been rendered irrelevant. The Supra will struggle on because of a large base of cult fans and the fact that it can be easily modified to crazy HP levels but no one except them is going to want one.

[@asdfasdf3240]

@@philsalley3278 you said it yourself, you've been driving Corvettes for 20 years. You're obviously biased.

[@philsalley3278]

@@asdfasdf3240 Hardly. Have had Porsches, Mercedes SL's, SL55 & AMG GTS, Ferrari everyone of which was always in the shop and repair costs can be staggering.

[@dapro2524]

How are you going to compare that GM built chevy garbage to this masterpiece.

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Hmm, I think the wing "spoils" it for me.

[@asdfasdf3240]

Only thing I don't like about this car is the lack of bright color choices.

[@C0RRAD0VR6Storm]

Next : GT R PRO !!!

[@juanc5149]

They could of updated to 630 hp to match the AMG GT 63s.

[@HWolfeIII]

Great car, but that price! There are definitely better performances bargains..

[@automotivetv9861]

@4:19 you say "the gtr shoots off the line with zero wheel spin" , which is a Lie and a half. (look @4:11 for proof)

Mercedes Benz resale value doesn’t hold strong

[@magneto8002]

Rather have a 911.

[@grabir01]

maintenance nightmare!! Beautiful car for sure. I will wait for the EV version. IT would have to be more reliable and less expensive. Keep it under 100k

[@iLLGT2]

you speaking from experience?? HIGHLY DOUBT IT. 15k miles on my amg edition 1, flawless, 8k on GTR, flawless. own the car then talk

[@grabir01]

@@iLLGT2 I am confident I have owned more Mercedes cars than you. My First was a 190SL in Germany. First car I ever owned. But , to answer your question. O yes.. I have owned Mercedes. iLLGT2.. Even when I think I am wrong, I am usually right. And I am Damn right about Mercedes. You can call Mercedes Benz of Littleton. Tell them you want to buy my S Class AMG and ask them for the maintenance records. Also call Sandor of Star Tech Mercedes Denver and ask for the same. Sandor knows me well as I engineered and designed a fix for the closing aid. Those things are murder!!! Text me or contact me in private so I can give you the name. You must be new to the brand. By new.. I mean..Only 10-15 years or so. I have pages and pages and pages of records over the past 40 years of owning Mercedes cars. No more!! NO MORE!!! UNCLE!!!!

[@iLLGT2]

@@grabir01 We are on an AMG GTR video, you rest my case and prove my point, clearly you've never owned an AMG GT or GTR. And I have an s class cabriolet also, again, flawless car as well as my 10 other mercedes over the past 7 years maybe your mercedes in ancient times weren't reliable then I would agree however your statement on more modern AMG;s is absolutely false. You can contact my German tech at mercedes benz pompano and ask him how flawless my amg;'s have been lol, Don We don't need to have a contest, however, again if you haven't owned an amg gt car you cannot say they are horrible maintenance

[@iLLGT2]

@@grabir01 and PS I'm actually buying a new glc 63 s from pompano mercedes tomorrow. PPS my mclarens, ferraris have all been maintenance/nightmares so listen ill give you the benefit of a doubt, yes mercedes I guess just like any mechanical performance machine can have variances, some bulletproof and some problematic... it just annoys me when people on youtube spout off BS that they hear from others without first hand experience and or ownership. PPPS hope you have better luck

[@grabir01]

@@iLLGT2 Each time I hear that. It kept me buying another newer mercedes. If mercedes would make a car as reliable as a Toyota or Honda, I would consider buying another. But at my age, I do not see it happening. I will never be so foolish ever again. I got tired of throwing my money away.
