The interior is equally impressive with AMG performance seats and Nappa leather upholstery. As for fresh updates, the 2020 model gets a new 12.3-inch instrument-cluster display and a new 10.3-inch multimedia-center display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The central console gets new display buttons for selecting various settings. With the optional touchpad you control the display of the multimedia system as you can with a smartphone. Intuitive wiping movements facilitate navigation in the menus. A haptic feedback accompanies every input. The touchpad recognises your handwriting in case you want to enter addresses or telephone numbers silently. Moreover, the new steering wheel comes wrapped in black Dinamica microfibre and it features the AMG drive unit controls. The AMG also offers a performance monitoring system to track lap times.
Performance
The Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 Biturbo Engine that produces a massive 577bhp and 700Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 7G dual-clutch transmission which enables the vehicle to sprint from a standstill to 100kmph in mere 3.6-seconds. The top-speed is electronically restricted to 318kmph. The vehicle is equipped with high-performance composite brake system which features composite technology that provides fade-resistance and enables outstanding deceleration values. The AMG GT R can also be had with an optional ceramic high-performance composite brake system that offers reliability in extreme situations, even after full brake application several times in a succession. This is also lighter than conventional brake systems.
