2019 AMG GT R Interior
The stylish and sporty GT R's interior is set up for serious driving, with all relevant controls placed within easy reach. There is a super sporty and low-down driving position on offer, with a supportive seat and sufficient steering-wheel adjustment. There's not a lot of space in the GT's cabin, though, so taller or broader drivers may feel cramped. Both occupants will enjoy the GT R's high-quality interior appointments, with Nappa/Dinamica leather upholstery and metallic accents being suitably premium for something sporting the three-pointed star on its nose. AMG performance seats with power-adjustable side bolsters, dual-zone climate control, and plenty of onboard technology sweeten the deal.

Seating and Interior Space
The GT R seats just two people - rear seats would simply be an affront to this AMG's performance goals. The seats are smartly upholstered in a combination of Nappa leather and Dinamica and have integrated headrests. Space is at a premium, partially due to a seriously bulky center console - six-footers will fit, but they'll always feel on the snug side in there, and there isn't really any comfortable space to rest your elbows. For average-sized adults, legroom and headroom are both fine and the driving position can be tailored to suit your preferences, although taller drivers may wish that the seat could slide further back. The low-slung GT means that ingress and egress require some effort. Visibility is a mixed bag, being perfectly fine when looking forward but obscured to the rear because of tiny mirrors and a rear window that isn't big enough, either.

Interior Colors and Materials
Far from a stripped-down racer, the AMG GT R's interior is meticulously crafted from expensive-feeling materials. On the R, that means standard Nappa leather seats with soft Dinamica microsuede inserts, AMG Black Piano Lacquer trim, and an AMG Dinamica performance steering wheel that is a joy to hold.
While only black seats are available, you can choose between yellow or silver stitching, while Exclusive Nappa leather upholstery is an option. Carbon-fiber can replace the Piano Lacquer trim for an even sportier look and feel. Overall, though, the GT R's cabin is what you'd expect of a sports car of this price.
2019 AMG GT R Trunk and Cargo Space
The GT R's trunk has 10.1 cubic feet of available space, which isn't terrible considering what it is. Mercedes says that this is enough room to accommodate two full-size golf bags, with the only issue being the hump in the trunk caused by the transaxle gearbox. Small-item storage is nothing to write home about, with the usual cup holders, door pockets, and glovebox, but not much else.

2019 AMG GT R Infotainment and Features
Features
In the interests of ultimate performance, the GT R actually has fewer features than lesser AMG GTs, although many of these remain options. For instance, heated power-folding mirrors and a lane-tracking package are standard on the cheaper GT C, but optional on the GT R. You do still get automatic dual-zone climate control, power seats with three-position memory, heated seats, a power tilt/telescoping steering column, a rearview camera, a power decklid release, push-button start and rain-sensing windshield wipers. An integrated garage-door opener, keyless-go, and power-folding mirrors with logo projectors are among the available options.
Infotainment
The GT R makes use of Mercedes' COMAND infotainment system with an 8.4-inch high-resolution color central screen. Functions are controlled using a touchpad/rotary controller. Standard features encompass navigation with three years of free map updates, SiriusXM with five years of traffic/weather updates, and voice control. A lightweight four-speaker audio system is fitted to the GT R, but a Burmester premium surround sound system is available. You also get Bluetooth audio streaming, a hands-free Bluetooth interface, dual USB ports, an SD card reader, an in-dash DVD/CD player, SiriusXM radio with a six-month all-access trial, an HD radio receiver, and the AMG Track Pace App for an Apple iPhone - this app makes it possible to store, study, and share your performance driving data. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available as the GT hasn't yet benefitted from Mercedes' latest infotainment tech.
