Mercedes has timed this rather neatly. While Porsche will expect the brand new 911 to attract much of the attention at this year"s LA motor show, Merc"s AMG GT arch rival has received a host of tweaks to ensure the new 992 doesn"t get everything its own way. Headlining the changes is the addition of a new range-topping Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro, for those who reckon the regular GT R isn"t quite tough enough. If that"s you, we"d love you to explain your reasoning. While it uses the same 577bhp twin-turbo V8 as the GT R, it"s had some significant tweaks elsewhere. There are standard carbon-ceramic brakes, lightweight forged wheels and redesigned aero, much of its addenda crafted from carbon fibre. There"s even a carbon roof.
