Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Amg Green Hell Magno

So until we can get back to driving high-performance cars – unleashing their cerebral horsepower on the tarmac and burning some unnecessary rubber at every given opportunity – let us have look back at some of the best performance cars we have already driven.

At the last track day, we had the Mercedes-AMG GT R, famous for its world record of being the fastest rear-wheel-drive car around the famous Nurburgring circuit. This year we had its more fashionable sibling - the GT Roadster. A convertible with plenty of oomph, it sure is a real eye-catcher. But, apart from its flamboyance, is it also capable of hitting the track with a blistering performance? We found out.

The beast from Green Hell. It’s an extremely catchy line. And AMG’s justification for that is that this Mercedes-AMG GT R was developed at the Nordschleife a.k.a Green Hell.
