Who else is interested in the Mercedes AMG GTR PRO?
Discussion
I’m looking forward to getting my hands on an AMG GTR Pro. Anyone else interested in this car or have ordered one? What do you think?
I like the revised styling and the fact its 7 seconds quicker round the Nurburgring than the standard GTR. I understand there are only 45-50 models coming to the UK so very limited numbers versus approx 150-200 GTRs that have come to the UK.
Having enjoyed Ferraris, lamborghini, Porsches & my AMG GTR, this new model should be great to drive & more exclusive than a Huracan perfomante & GT3 RS..........
Look forward to hearing your comments

waiting for the black...
Yeah I think almost all my Supercar friends are too........Knowing how Mercedes are vetting GTR Pro buyers & allocating from head office, I reckon it's going to be almost impossible for customers to get a Black Series unless they've got a good track record with Mercedes purchases incl high end models. You can't blame them as they're all doing it now adays, rewarding loyal repeat customers.
Project one customers will no doubt get first dibs....

I had one on order and deposit paid but cancelled my order as I was expecting more bhp/torque, it looks like it has a naff after market body kit and I didn't think it worth £40,000 more than my GTR and was rather disappointed.I like the revised styling and the fact its 7 seconds quicker round the Nurburgring than the standard GTR.

It is also not 7 seconds quicker round the Nurburgring than the GTR. Mercedes have never released a Nurburgring time for the GTR other than advising it was faster than the 7m10s clocked by Christian Gebhardt. So let's say the difference is 5 seconds, its hardly earth shattering and a well driven GTR will be as quick as the PRO, as any car is only as good as the driver.
I think it is a marketing ploy and a stop gap between the GTR and Black Series that doesn't quite work........just in my opinion of course !

Yes fair point. Not massively different but I think its still an attractive proposition. With the limited numbers its going to hold its value on the first 18+ months. Loved the Autocar review on track. It is also not 7 seconds quicker round the Nurburgring than the GTR.

The GTR impressed friends of mine with Italian supercars & Porsche GT3/ RS, many of which said theyd own one. I think like other GTR Pro customers, this will be the stepping stone to the black series.
Did you own an AMG GTR?

Yes I own a GTR which I took delivery of last November, after a six month delivery delay. It replaced an Audi R8 I previously had.
You also have good taste then! Went out in a new R8 V10 plus last weekend and could not believe the power & sound- as we all know similar to the Huracan. Great cars but i’m sure youd agree the GTR is a different animal
