2020 AMG GT R Exterior

There's no other way to describe the GT R than a German batmobile. Its wildly sculpted exterior has been perfected on the track, but transitions to the road graciously, and we think it's one of the best looking Mercedes-AMG cars ever built. The 2020 car sees a lot of changes, especially in the rear, but starting up front, the GT R now gets new LED headlights with daytime running lamps and adaptive high beam assist. The 15 chrome bars in the front grille is a nod to AMG GT3 race car, as well as the classic W194 300 SL race car. The rear gets a new diffuser with redesigned tailpipes and taillights, as well as a set of broader aluminum rear fenders which are 2.2 inches wider. An active duct underneath the hood of the GT R helps to cool the turbo area above the V8 engine, and a carbon-fiber rooftop helps to lower the car's center of gravity. Mercedes-AMG's AIRPANEL active aero system reduces drag according to the driving situation, and an active carbon fiber underbody panel can lower by 1.6 inches to push the GT R closer to the road surface for added stability and handling performance. Available style packages also add carbon-fiber splitters, air vent fins, side skirts inserts, and a carbon fiber rear diffuser. This gorgeous show rolls on a set of new AMG forged 10-spoke wheels. Newly introduced GT R Pro cars get the Carbon Package I as standard which includes a carbon fiber splitter, trim strips, side sills, and a diffuser finished off with high-quality clear-coated carbon fiber, as well as a redesigned carbon fiber roof.

Dimensions

With a short wheelbase and broad shoulders, the AMG GT R follows in the footsteps of many a great supercar that has come before it. The total length of this Sindelfingen-built bullet measures in at 179.7 inches in length and is comprehensively wide at 81.7 inches when including the side mirrors. The AMG GT R stands 50.6 inches tall, and its front and rear track are 66.7 and 66.2 inches respectively. Rolling on a 103.5-inch wheelbase gives you a sense of the stubbiness of the car. Despite the extensive use of lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber, the GT R still weighs in with a hefty curb weight of 3,686 pounds. That's still significantly less than the Nissan GT-R Nismo, which tips the scales closer to 3,900 pounds.

Exterior Colors

The wild styling of the GT R deserves to be accompanied by some out-there color options; after all, the AMG GT R is basically a race car for the road, and most owners will want others to be aware of the fact. For 2020 Mercedes-AMG offers the GT R in 13 colors, with designo Brilliant Blue Magno joining the color palette. Those who care not for the attention of passers-by can have their GT R in subdued hues such as Magnetite Black metallic, designo Diamond White metallic (a $1,515 option), or the classic Iridium Silver metallic for $720, but at the end of the day its near-on impossible to hide the GT R's intentions. For those who want to draw crowds at the local Cars and Coffee meet, Mercedes-AMG offers the GT R in AMG Solarbeam Yellow metallic and the aptly named AMG Green Hell Magno, both of which asking $9,900, which is something to behold out in the wild.
