Got that info from my Motorpress friend few days ago. CG was extremly impressed with GT R.
Car is very fast everywhere. Be it country roads, autobahn or on the track. In fact on track it beats complete competition. It is much faster on the track then 675LT(Trofeos!) for example.
No Porsche can beat it on the Ring except 918 Spyder. New 991.2 GT3 is not nearly close and 991.2 GT2 RS mule did almost the same time few months ago (with close to 700ps).
Price wise GT R is a bargin as well. Kudos to Mercedes AMG for truly amazing product.
Btw, AMG GT R Supertest will be published very, very soon. Nordschleife record run is in current issue.
Kreso, this all seems extremely unlikely. How would one explain the poor performing existing Mercedes GT models and then this (alleged) huge jump in performance? I don't believe it. Seems like a marketing trick.
Markus,
Sorry but, I disagree.
Normal GT S was on Supertest as fast as 991.1 Turbo S on the track. That is bad? Not for me.
CG claims that car is extremly confidence inspiring on the limit and therefore much easier to drive on the limit then some competitors. Car is pure stock according to my Motorpresse friend and as you will see from forthcoming Supertest measured power is in order (at upper limit of legal limit) as well.
Car is basically reingeneered version of original AMG GT S.
So, your assumption is that Mercedes AMG can not do it and Porsche for example can?
Or to put it on thin ice that CG and Sport Auto are on AMG pay list and are lying to the public?
Well... After you see different tests from different examplesof GT R that will be amazing as well you most probably won't belive in them... Hint-another German car mag get different example of GT R and it made some amazing track time as well.
