Mercedes-AMG GT R

At 3 times the cost is it any faster? To me the interior looks inferior and outside a ripoff

It's a twin turbo & is not a manual transmission. Pretty sure it's a lot faster, problem is they have been having trouble clearing customs

You can pick them up at the factory in Stuttgart.......

I'm sure it's probably 3X the quality and fit and finish. You get what you pay for.

IMO one of the most beautiful cars out right now. Incredible. Fit and finish wouldn't even be close.

Good friend of mine tracks is AMG63 S (roughly same price as my R here in Canada) and his fit and finish is light years ahead of mine - inside and out. At no point will his bumpers ever start to fall off haha.

It's like comparing a Rolex to a Citizen... Yeah, they both show time, but...

I'm embarrassed you asked that question. It looks killer

I'll take that AMG GTR in green as shown over most cars on the road today. Such a beautiful car.

Great car, amazing build and finish. However wait until the warranty is over, it may cost an arm/leg for repairs, depreciation will also be a factor for all amg cars.

That won't depreciate like the others

The germans make some beautiful cars. No way in hell Id want one iut of warranty. Its kind of a shame. For what you pay for the car they should have reliability that exceeds the likes of toyota and honda, and for sure the domestics.

Beautiful car. Out of warranty, hell no. A youtuber had a C63S that had his motor hydrolocked due to an oncoming car that splashed a ton of water into his front end. MB quoted him nearly $90k for the motor and labor.

My personal opinion if you can afford one, who really cares about the warranty. I'll be tearing in soon!!

If a motor blows on these without a warranty, $90k is just pocket change I guess. :shrug:
