According to Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers:
This summer we’ll be bringing out the next performance level of the GT [which likely will be called GT R]. There will be more power and speed but this sports car won’t be like a Black Series or anything you might expect. While it’s too soon to talk in detail, this version of the GT will have active aerodynamic features for markedly improved performance. ...

I don't know how much of a success the GT is in Germany: I have seen two cars in Stuttgart last summer but over here in Bavaria, I haven't seen a single car on the road since. Very weird. Not one!
I see Porsche 991(!) basically every day, usually 2-3 cars.

Go to Munich Maximilian Strasse and you might see one of the two running in Munich
In Stuttgart you see some cars, but most of them are wearing that little orange sticker on the windscreen Other than that, I know some guys in Frankfurt which ordered the car long before in order having it first. Only one of them received the car, 2 are waiting and 2 others never picked it up, right away passed on it.
The car drives great and looks ok. But since they took the look to A-B-C-S..... Class, it is not much special left on it. It is a pity how a brand can ruin their Halo cars when taking over to much of the things to the rest of the line up.

I'm in Munich basically every weekend and haven't seen a single GT.

I'm once a month in Munich and always see some. I already thought that Mercedes is parking the car in the Maximilian-Strasse as it was every time there when I left the Hotel

4trac:Proves that RC was right - no rear seats = no chance......
I think the GT is too expensive and a roadster version is missing.
A GT roadster will sell much better...

Lars997:koko:SLS is a 2 seater and it sold very well.
6000 Coupe build in 4 years.... selling well looks different!
That's very impressive. remember it's not a reg Merc model.
The plan was to build a total of 10k. I think they easily reached that number with both the coupes and roadsters.

The numbers AMG told me was 6000 Coupes and 5000 Roadster.
Think - Porsche just build 1600 GT3 RS. They build 35.000 911s annual. So the numbers are quiet low. I heard that AMG wants to sell and build 8.000 GTs a year - so the SLS is rare. It might be different in UAE, where you find for sure a lot of those cars concentrated on a pretty small area
