We suspect very few of you out there would consider the Mercedes AMG GT R to wear some puppy fat around the edges. For those few, the AMG GT R Pro is the answer for your I need zero-fat, track-honed nutjob" request. It is, in short, a zero-fat track-honed nutjob. The GT R"s 577bhp twin-turbo V8 is carried over from the regular GT R, to accompany better brakes, lighter wheels, carbon fibre aero addenda, better suspension, and a Track Package. With all of these effects applied, the GT R Pro is capable of sailing around the N rburgring in 7m 04s; six seconds faster than a regular AMG GT R. Mercedes-AMG GT3 racer Marco Engel was the gentleman responsible for this time, conducted in what Merc defines as autumnal conditions".
