The Definitive Mercedes AMG GT R Buying Guide

[@Romansinternational]

*Let us know your perfect GT R spec below*

[@romeosz]

Romans International love the car, tell me are all interiors black.

[@stefanosassi]

my perfect GT R spec is a GT R I can sell for good money to buy a 911 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@djw48]

Yellow stitch, buckets. Apart from that your one....

[@joe718gt4]

Green or one of the designo colors. The silver and black wheels.

[@peterbratu]

My SL63 R231 is painted in Designo Allanite Grey Magno. I would love a GT in the same colour.

[@ilikethatboulder.thatisani5496]

Seeing a lambo in person is one thing, but seeing this car in person is out of this world. It's crazy how mesmerizing it is!

[@thebbiddim882]

It's the hips!

[@The.Nick.Valentino]

Exactly. I kept seeing it on the freeway and it always drew my gaze. Most cars look better in photos than in person, but this car is the exact opposite. The presence it has on the road is amazing. The width, the big grill, the long hood, big hips in the rear, and last but not least the curvaceous roof line. I think the wing completes the look, whereas on others it would distract from the body lines. I found automotive art when I drive to work, now I can't help but stare every time I spot them. This is an all time beauty!

[@autofanaticcars]

I remember watching this video two years ago as i started my GTR search and now I have my AMG GTR in Green Magno in my garage. So many of these cars are beat up and it took me two years to find one to my liking with the options and low miles, the car is simply incredible!

[@matthewlyons5462]

I'm dying for one. Used 2018. What are your thoughts on repair costs? I've asked a trusted source and he said it should be very durable.

[@Xgeneralll]

I am also in the market right now looking at the 2020 near me they have one almost finalized the deal. However final price is still coming to 160k. 7k miles. How is it still expensive or are they screwing me? Any insight?

[@Columbo777]

Not that incredible with the shitty 4.0 bi turd-o engine

[@rombaft]

The Meredes GT R is a retrostyle modern batmobile hotrod combo, it is one of the most beautiful cars on the roads to mu opinion

[@eckee]

I can hardly buy my groceries so I thought this could help.

[@musicmania7676]

Bro same here

[@kira_yoshikage]

Lmao brokie gang rise up 🤣🤣🤣

[@mo5746]

You'll look back on these days and appreciate them.

[@whodat794]

[@dubskj01]

This boy knows his stuff. When my numbers come up I'll definitely be paying Roman's a visit to start my supercar collection.

[@youngprankster94]

My favourite merc 😍

[@gtfourziggy2]

That's not a merc, that's a benz.... merc refers to an old school mercury

[@3v3rhard]

Its great, biggest issue I have is owning a c63. Sure its on another lvl but I would go for a R8 or Porsche to have a truly different experience. I guess thats the downside of using 1 high performance engine for the whole lineup.

[@HeyhitmeBAM]

You’d be surprised how different it is, I’ve driven both.

[@HeyhitmeBAM]

The whole experience, I think a big part of it is the different transmission with 7 speeds, can enjoy the speed way more

[@06asifmohammeda9]

@@HeyhitmeBAMwhich yu prefer?

[@zerexxx2]

​@@06asifmohammeda9I have a c63s coupe and drove a gtr one time. Let me telle you its ABSOLUTELY NOT the same thing, same engine does not change anything. The gtr is leaving the c63 in the dust at any aspect, its a damn race car.

[@houseyUK]

I bought one virtually identical but with matt paint. This helped, thanks.

[@JB-lt1dx]

The premium package and safety package sound like good value for money. Always liked this car, for me it would be between this and a 570. Great video.

[@stefanosassi]

570? a mclaren? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JB-lt1dx]

Yep

[@HeyhitmeBAM]

@@JB-lt1dx those aren’t comparable cars

[@m7md4x4]

Don't know why I watch this while I suppose to watch how to fix my steering column on my Accent 2003. Thanks for the lovely details🌹🌹

[@miasam9666]

Greetings from the Middle East. Wanted to say that this channel is the realist car showcase channel with no BS! Thanks for the great content!

[@nix294]

I'll go for the green magno paint , let the beast live up to its name . The design of the car is pretty loud and it sounds loud too . Might as well have a loud colour to put on top .

[@dhx7663]

I just bought one. Thanks for the honest review. Hope to see more

[@Funexpected]

What model year and any issues since buying?

[@LondonGT3]

What a great review. As the owner of a Solarbeam Yellow GTR with every option box ticked, the only thing I don’t like is the depreciation. It has been brutal!

[@joe718gt4]

Good for people like me haha. Almost like 25% depreciation from what I've seen for relatively low miles

[@LondonGT3]

Joseph Herbias I think I have done 40% in 2 years and 5,000 miles.

[@HeyhitmeBAM]

Has it tho? Maybe that’ll slow down

[@StoneCoolds]

One thing about the safety pack, it seems it will activate on the track even if you have it off, like increasing braking if it sense you are closing to fast to another car lol

[@AB-80X]

It does not.

[@superfast30]

I personally would go with as little tech as possible on track variant such as the GTR. Make it more future proof as well!

[@AB-80X]

The tech you can opt out of, will not change anything in terms of how "safe" it is for the future. It will not really make the car lighter either, just more annoying to use. Why not get Apple Car play for example? It's an amazing grand tourer.

[@joeimbesi99]

Brosa got one in Vegas same colour ,Sold his Aston, loves this more.

[@nigeljames1109]

Great video. Very helpful and professional. I am considering one of theses cars so thank you for all the detailed information.

[@Excarbitarian]

The v8 used in the gtr is totally different than the c63. Different components and size . Weighs alot less too.

[@jeromep3182]

I know this is kinda off topic but where is the Mercedes Benz project 1 that’s the Mercedes hyper car I wanna see

[@purplemonkeys11]

I thought ceramic breaks don’t actually give you better stopping power? Doesn’t it just prevent you from stepping on a flat pedal after high speed use?

[@roespeloes]

When the brakes are warm the stopping power is almost the same. But under extreme conditions and for track days the performance of ceramics remains constant whereas steel brakes start to fade after a few hard brakings. Ceramic discs also last longer and produce less dust. But the downside, besides the high initial price, is the lack of feel when they are cold. For daily use I would take the normal steel brakes and save 5000 quid.

[@purplemonkeys11]

roespeloes thank you for the clarification! Yeah I was confused when he said the ceramics had better stopping power.

[@peterbratu]

I have them on my SL63 R231 - code B07. I can promise you they are much much better than the steel ones, at any given temperature. The stopping power is immense, I am constantly looking in my rearview mirror, afraid to be rear-ended, because no one else on the road can stop as quick as me.

[@nickbushy1]

I just brought one today, I love it, it won’t fit in the garage though lol, it’s a roadster and it’s a beast, gonna have fun in the sun 😇

[@ethanhunt7831]

Planning on getting my AMG GT 63 4 doors next year...looking forward and totally enjoying the driving classes as well

[@Fluterra]

Never knew warranty in the UK/EU(?) Is shorter than in the US/Canada.

[@AB-80X]

It isn't,

[@bobgees793]

I sat in one yesterday and loved it. Currently own a 2019 C4 GTS but need to decide if I go with a GTR next or Turbo S? Would be great if you did a Turbo/S buying guide given you sell so many 👍

[@G0ddEityawesome]

If you want aggressiveness then go with the amg gtr for sure

[@bobgees793]

@@G0ddEityawesome Too late I went and impulse-bought a Turbo S. Don't think the GTR would fit in my garage 😭

[@G0ddEityawesome]

@@bobgees793 turbo s is a great choice as well!

[@G0ddEityawesome]

What’s your impression of the turbo s?

[@bobgees793]

@@G0ddEityawesome it's incredible when you're going for it. Surprisingly softer than my GTS. Less character too. However on the right roads when you want fun it's amazing. So quick. Everyone wants to race now though and it's not often I go out and don't have something stick to my ass

[@ScruffyWarlord]

Magno Matt Grey is the best paint for the AMG GT in my opinion.

[@mitchellschwartz2148]

I would be living the dream with the AMG GT C Convertible....the R is overkill for about 99% of my driving habits.

[@mahtabgill4921]

Can you do 1 video on a AMG GT-s or the AMG GT-C?

[@aaronbell5743]

Did you have any discomfort in the driving position? I just couldn't get the seat position where I needed it, for some reason

[@AtifAslam-m8i]

Thank you so much for such a detailed review

[@pran8145]

i would get this exact one with black minimalistic racing stripes and red callipers

[@karlgimbel9237]

Awesome content! Well put together and extremely informative. Different angle to what most videos are on the GT R! Keep up the good work!

[@andrewevans6765]

Brilliant video,great way to review the car,clear,never really looked at this model seems good value for money and reasonable service costs for what it is,Cheers.

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

Thanks Tom. Hugely helpful. I adore the blue and that would be my first choice but as you say, that colour is very rare. (Which makes it more desirable) Imagine that with all the yellow contrast stitch on the inside and yellow callipers. I think it woudl set it off perfectly. Especially with the yellow AMG embroidary on the bucket seat. Find me one of those and I'll be right there!

[@brittanyanslow3769]

I found you one if you want to discuss

[@phillipdunn6009]

I see a yellow one in norwich in the mercedes dealership.

[@OceanicOsprey]

The spec you have there is perfect!

[@killian7498]

Can someone speak about reliability ? I am about to buy one but I can't find any forum talking about the reliability of the car.

Good honest chat with useful information about the car and the specification on the various packages available for this awesome car thanks for sharing it with us from Northern Ireland greatly appreciated

[@DonLee1980]

I love how everyone who boast about carbon brakes says it's got better stopping power Then they are corrected that stopping power comes from the tire grip, not the brakes Then they stand corrected and say yes, but repeated braking like track driving, these are the brakes to have Then an actual track nut comes over and says, no, because a set of carbon replacements is over $20k. Even Porsche cup cars use steel rotors.

[@chinatype]

Those front radiators look venerable from stones 😬. Think Shmee had one go on his.

[@colingroves335]

A good honest informative review, sadly ill never be able to afford the GTR, ill just have to stick with my SLK350.

[@ArtyoneT]

Torn between this and the new AMG GT 63.

[@lordeflacko6388]

The only car I’d get over this one at that price point is the r8 v10. Feel like the value might go up due to Audi stopping production

[@AB-80X]

The R8 does not even get close.

[@willryan5508]

This or an audi v10 plus?

[@ryliek6832]

The OPF alone would turn me off of the 2020 mercs. Not that i'm currently in the position to buy one anyway

As there is probably about only 1% of drivers that could use this cars performance. You might as well just go for a regular amg GT. They start at about 46k. Which really won't help you heat your home and pay the bills.

[@benjaminjang6893]

I didn't like the silver band on the upgraded rims breaks the line too much for me. I got the ceramic brakes and very glad I did- I wish the silver was a bit darker. The carbon roof believe it or not to me makes a big difference lowers the center of gravity. Definitely go with the more road friendly seats. No one wants to deal with the harnesses.
