Model History

The Mercedes-AMG GT R was the pinnacle of front-engined AMG performance before the 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 registered. Never tracked. Never to be repeated.

Vehicle Highlights

Rarely does a car arrive with such provenance, presence and preservation. Believed to have been ordered new for the then CEO of Mercedes-Benz of Australia, this GT R is an uncompromising, collector-grade example of the marque’s flagship performance coupe. Never registered and 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.
