  • Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro

    Mercedes-AMG on Wednesday at the 2018 LA Auto Show introduced an updated GT sports car range, and included in the fleet is a new flagship model: the GT R Pro. The limited-edition model is based on the track-focused GT R added for 2018 but brings even more goodies aimed at slashing lap times. The upgrades have resulted in the GT R Pro lapping the Nürburgring in a time of 7.04.632, which compares to the time of 7:10.92 that the standard GT R set shortly after its own launch in 2016. That's impressive considering the GT R Pro's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 features the same 577...

    Ford GT and Mercedes-AMG GT use same gearbox, Ford's costs much more

    Supercars are exotic machines with expensive parts. Many of those parts are sourced from suppliers but can only be bought through the brands when it comes time for a repair.

It should arrive on the market next year alongside a mid-cycle update for AMG's standalone sports car due for the 2020 model year. The GT R coupe, which starts at just under $160k, comes with 577 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from AMG's 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-8, or enough to deliver a 0-60 mph sprint of just 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph. We could see power...

  • 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Edition 50

    Mercedes-Benz and Porsche have not always been adversaries. The two German automotive icons, hailing from east and north of Stuttgart, Germany, respectively, were once occasional collaborators. Not that you’d know that from behind the wheel of the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C coupe. This squat, wide, coupe is the range-topper in the AMG GT lineup, at least for mere mortals with around $140,000 to spend. Sure, there’s the track-oriented AMG GT R with its signature yellow knob to dial back its traction control sitting pretty at the top of the lineup. But if you live where the roads are...

  • 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster

    I'd like to start this review by prattling on about how this 550-horsepower super sports car can slay the toughest track set before it. I'd love to wax poetic about its relentless grip, its composure at speed, its hunkered down feel in sharp bends, and the feeling of joy it imparts to the driver as it helps you turn in quick lap times time and time again. Even though the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster is almost certainly capable of all of that, I can't start off that way. You see, when an automaker cuts the top off from a sports car or even a supercar, it immediately classifies it as a...
