    Mercedes- Benz Unveils the AMG GT and GT Pro for 2020

      More Agile and Further Refined

    After just 4 years, Mercedes-Benz has refreshed the AMG GT for the 2020 model year.   A new programmable coil over setup allows for more agile handling depending on track conditions.  As in professional motorsport, the driver is not only able to set the spring preload length mechanically, but can now also adjust the compression and rebound of the dampers.  Both axels get adjustable torsion bars with carbon fiber up front and hollow-tube steel in back.

    The engines options are:

    Model Year 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT Mercedes-AMG GTC Mercedes-AMG GTR/ Mercedes-AMG GTRPRO
    Displacement 3982 cc 3982 cc 3982 cc
    Output 469 hp at 6000 rpm 550 hp at 5,750- 6,750 rpm 577 hp at 6,250 rpm
    Peak torque 465 lb-ft @ 1,700 – 5,000 rpm 502 lb-ft @ 1,900 – 5,750 rpm 516 lb-ft at 1,900 - 5,500 rpm
    Acceleration 3.9 s 3.6 s 3.5 s
    Top speed 189 mph 196 mph 198 mph

    Says Mercedes-Benz of the GT Pro, 

    Quote

     

    "The AMG GT embodies the core of our brand, "Driving Performance," in a unique way. At its debut four years ago, it not only turned the heads of customers and sports car enthusiasts, but also created new dimensions in the competitive environment. In order to continue this success story, we have now equipped it with numerous innovations from the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe and added a new limited-edition model: No other current production Mercedes- AMG is as close to motor racing as the new AMG GT R PRO. A lot of experience from our current GT3 and GT4 motorsport activities entered into its development.

    The agile responses to all driver commands and the overall performance now deliver even more of that incomparable feeling that our racing drivers experience on the track,"

     

    We can't wait to try one.

    The R and Pro models should have more power, I don't know why they limit torque to 516, when this car could be 600 hp and 627 lb-ft like the S63, unless there is crazy wheel spin, but I think they could up the torque on those top models.

    It is cool though that they have a near race version of the car for the track enthusiasts.  7:04 Nurburgring time on the Pro, but maybe it could break the 7 minute barrier with more torque!

    • I really like having a free mile-long beach less than 20 miles from home.  Went up there yesterday evening to watch the sunset and listen to the waves.   This was something I really missed when I lived in the concrete desert.  I keep folding chairs, towels, flip flops in the cars in case the need to beach happens any time..;)
    • Very nice.  Count your blessings that you have a free of charge or low cost happy place. It's tough to come to the conclusion that the pinnacle of happy places for me might be being aboard an ocean liner.  LOL.  It makes for a "kaching" problem.
    • Its too damned bad I do nor cheer for the Bruins anymore.    I have returned to my roots.  But this is sooooooo phoquing cool from the Bruins. I think the roles have finally reversed and I have returned home.   The Bruins will be playing second fiddle to the Habs for me.   
    • It is different.  I do not know which one I prefer (to look at). I enjoy looking at all kinds of car craziness things.  But  I do know that I prefer (to own or wrench on) the craziness of the 1960s and 1970s with all the different car kits like the Meyers Manx etc.   And of course all the souped up muscle cars of the day.  But Id admit today's wild ritz-ed out interior, fender flared, gull wing doored madness type of custom jobs, is  just as exciting to witness as anything else from past eras.  As an example   Plus this modern thing of restomods and protouring of classic cars of the 1950s-1970s which didnt exist even 30 years ago.     I prefer the customization of the craziness of a Meyers Manx and Brubaker Box of the 1960s and 1970s because of the genius of creating a new type of car on an existing accessible and affordable platform. But I also love the idea of modernizing a classic car of whatever era in a restomodded/protoured way. Although not as affordable. Heck, in 2025, restomodding/protouring a car is expensive AF.  But...car culture craziness hasnt faded away.  Its just...different from what it was.
