2019 AMG GT R Exterior
The GT R looks even more extreme than lesser GT models, trading some elegance for outright aggression. There's no mistaking the silhouette, though, with an especially long hood and a massive, manually adjustable rear wing immediately noticeable. The GT R also has AMG-forged ten-spoke wheels with extreme-performance tires (19 inches in front and 20 inches at the rear). A carbon-fiber roof panel helps to lower the GT R's center of gravity, and AMG carbon composite brakes are fitted. Along with an AMG-specific Panamericana grille with 15 vertical chrome bars, some outrageous color options, LED headlamps, wide aluminum rear fenders, and large outer vents, the AMG GT R turns heads like few other cars on the road.

Dimensions
Like other AMG GT coupes, the R has the same dimensions. Length is 179.7 inches, height is 50.6 inches, and width including the mirrors is 81.7 inches (79 inches without the mirrors). The wheelbase is 103.5 inches long. What these numbers don't tell you is just how long the hood is, which takes some time to adapt to. By comparison, a Porsche 911 GT3 is narrower and lower but slightly longer. There's a bigger variance in weight: despite the Mercedes' weight-saving measures like carbon-fiber body bracing, it's still 441 pounds heavier than a PDK-equipped 911 GT3. The AMG GT R tips the scales at 3,594 lbs, making it 154 lbs lighter than the GT C coupe.

Exterior Colors
The GT R's color palette extends to 12 shades, with stealthy blacks and grays on the one side and some eye-popping options on the other. Standard colors are Black and Jupiter Red, while extra-cost metallic shades are Brilliant Blue, Iridium Silver, Magnetite Black, and Selenite Grey. After that is the designo range of metallic shades which will cost up to $3,950 extra depending on which one you go for. They're Cardinal Red, Diamond White, Iridium Silver, and Selenite Grey. At a whopping $9,900, AMG Solarbeam Yellow and GT R-exclusive Green Hell Magno can be specified - these wild shades somehow suit the GT R's personality.
