Model History

The Mercedes-AMG GT R was the pinnacle of front-engined AMG performance before the Pro and GT Black Series. Developed with direct input from AMG’s motorsport division, the GT R featured a wider track, active aerodynamics, adjustable coilovers, and rear-wheel steering—making it the most track-capable road-going AMG of its era. A Nürburgring time of 7:10 underlined its credentials, while the handcrafted 4.0L twin-turbo V8 and distinctive styling ensured instant icon status. Production ceased in 2021, and the GT R has become a benchmark for analogue-meets-technology driving engagement.

This car represents the end of an era: the final expression of AMG’s V8, front-engined formula before electrification and regulation changed the game. With high-profile provenance, flawless presentation, and one of the most complete track packs ever optioned, this is more than a collector car—it’s an event.

A pure, uncompromised example of AMG’s front-engine masterpiece—raw, visceral and now virtually unobtainable in this specification. Never tracked. Never to be repeated.

Showing just 2,888 km from new, it remains in untouched condition—still riding on its original, un-scrubbed tyres with delivery plastics intact on the sills and floor mats.
