IMHO... GT-R sits to high, has no engine grunt, has too high a center of gravity and doesn't have anywhere near the same build quality as the AMG... If getting to 60 in under 3 seconds was my reason for driving? Then it be the GT-R without a doubt.

Spied! Is This the Upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT R?

MB is making a higher horsepower, more aggressive AMG GT to be labeled the GT-R, then to be followed by the "Black Series". Exciting to know MB is going further.

I'd like to see a baby version of this car with a TTV6 and 400HP to start around $75k. A GT base. Some luxury features removed to reduce weight 100lbs. Like manual seats and manual tilt. No heated seats and some sound deadening removed. Then maybe another 60lbs reduced off the smaller engine. Would make a nice sub $100k sports car.

I think if Mercedes threw in our TT 276 motor and up'd the power around 400 hp it really wouldn't sell, etc. The 4.0 liter biturbo is a monster! If I were to buy this car I would get it with the 4.0 liter biturbo no questions asked and not even bat an eye at the v6 tt one. We have just an AMG GT which puts out less power than the GT-S trim. I have driven cars with both engines and the tt 276 motor doesn't even compare to the 4.0 liter biturbo at all! lol I can honestly say if I drove a GT with the tt 276 motor in it with a bit more power it would feel slow since it weighs close to a C450 AMG. I would be severely disappointed considering the price.

The C450AMG is 3,800lbs with a high center of gravity and a gussied up 7AT.

The AMG GTS is 3,627 lbs with a DCT and a lowered center of gravity and a whoooooole different set of driving dynamics than your choice of comparison... A DCT with a much more tuned transmission gearing for a pure sports experience. The AMG GT has 457HP with the dumbed down version of the GT-S but would cost $115k

My version of the base AMG would be 3,500lbs. 400HP & 420lbs torque. Would probably have an acceleration time between a camaro v6 & SS (5.1/4.0sec) which would be 4.5 seconds or so with the aggressively tuned transmission... Manual seats and other things stated. I don't agree. It would compete directly against the Jaguar F type S which people are calling a better driving car than the F-type R. If Mercedes kept aggressive gears the same handling, A SPECIAL TUNED exhaust... It could be a more aggressive more pure competitor to the Jaguar F type S which is amazingly fun to drive, fairly fast and weighs 100lbs more than my potential AMG GT base would be while my GTS would have +20HP/+81lbs torque than an F type S rated at 380HP/339lbs tq.

True that the C class and GT/GT-S are two totally different vehicles among them selves but I don't see Mercedes going with a TT v6 in that chassis like you would like. They will just up the power with the 4.0 liter biturbo and shed some weight and play with the gearing, handling, etc like they are with the GT-R, etc.

I know they won't. They're not looking to make a future Z competitor. But I think it would be nice.

The AMG GT-R.... You mean it gets sicker???

Firebase99 · 04-06-2016, 09:20 PM

I seriously love this car. It's right there with a DB9, 911 Turbo S, Jag XJ-R, Audi V10, Z06, NSX, GTR, M5. Hmmm...

Dreadnaught · 04-09-2016, 05:06 PM

I'm sure I'll see the GT-R here at my work soon. We have big spenders here at my dealer. We have sold 10 GT-S's that I know of and plenty of other chassis AMG cars. I have driver this car a couple of times and it is truly unbelievable. Great job Mercedes!

I wonder how much it's going to go for and how well will it do against a GT3?
