Finally, the $875 Lane Tracking package should be a definite tick as it adds blind-spot monitoring and lane-keep assist. The $1,300 Convenience package, which adds heated and power-folding mirrors, HomeLink and keyless entry, is a no-brainer, and we'd also suggest going for the mid-range Burmeister sound system with 10 high-quality speakers and a 640-watt 10-channel digital amplifier. Inside there's no other choice than to go with the exclusive AMG interior carbon fiber package with red seat belts. On the exterior, we'd go with the ridiculously in-your-face Green Hell Magno paint color, and fit a set of black 19/20 inch AMG Performance forged twin five-spoke wheels, as well as the aggressive AMG carbon fiber exterior package. There's only two options: you either buy the GT R, oryou strap on your helmet and get the GTR Pro, so if you decide to pull the trigger on the GT R, we'd suggest a few additions that should make this German muscle car even more special. Sure there was the SLR McLaren, but with scores of celebrities snatching up GTs, and a series of good performances on the track, the GT, and GT R have become household names in the performance car community and they definitely deserve their place amongst the future classics of the automotive world. It's an all-out German super muscle car that looks as crazy as it sounds, and it has single-handedly revived Mercedes-Benz's status as a builder of supercars. Don't get us wrong, the GT R is still a technological marvel, but it brings so much more than horsepower figures to the table. Mercedes-AMG, on the other hand, has focused less on sheer numbers, and more on the emotive side of supercar construction. We live in a world where supercars are no longer the top dogs on the road hypercars rule the roost and have become the ultimate number-chasing weapons for the road, and while they might perform brilliantly, they lack practicality and can come across as clinical in the way they go about things. We applaud the team who developed the GT R's suspension and chassis setup: it delivers a bit of everything, and nails it all. Step into a corner at high speed, and the GT R will take your breath away with its ability to grip to the road, and respond to the slightest of steering inputs, especially for such a weighty car, and the rear-wheel steering system makes tight corners disappear in the rear-view mirror. Step up to Race mode, and the GT R transforms into a track weapon: you get the fastest reaction times from the transmission, and the electronic stability system allows the driver to select from nine different levels of intervention. Flipping to more aggressive modes increase engine and throttle response, shift timing, traction control, suspension stiffness, and exhaust sound. In comfort mode, the GT R delivers a firm ride that borders on harsh an indicator of the car's track racing aspirations. The AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving system allows the driver to select between Comfort, Sport, Sport+, RACE, and a newly introduced Slippery mode. With a lap time of 7:10.92 around the Nurburgring, you'd best believe that the AMG GT R is an accomplished handler, but it comes with a price: on ordinary city roads the GT R can feel harsh, especially at lower speeds. For those looking for something even more extreme, Mercedes-AMG has added the GT R Pro to its lineup, which features an upgraded suspension setup, a bolted rear roll cage, forged wheels and more, but is limited to only 150 units in the US. AMG also offers a performance monitoring system to track lap times. The center console now features new display buttons, and the new steering wheel is equipped with AMG Drive Unit controls. Step inside, and you'll find a new 12.3-inch instrument-cluster display and a new 10.3-inch multimedia-center display that features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The AMG GT R also rolls on a set of new wheels, and Brilliant Blue Magno joins the exterior paint palette. The exterior of the GT R now features new LED headlights and taillights, while the back gets a more aggressive rear diffuser and redesigned exhaust tips. The beastly AMG GT R gets some impressive new features, as well as a minor nip and tuck for 2020, making it better to look at, and slightly easier to live with.
