The Nürburgring race track is easily the most famous in Germany, if not the world. Nicknamed “the Green Hell” in the late ’60s due to its difficulty, Nürburgring features plenty of punishing twists and turns, and any vehicle that can master it can take on anything. That’s why the 2018 Mercedes-AMG® GT R impresses us so much here at Park Place Dealerships. Never before has Mercedes-AMG® put this much motorsport power into a production vehicle, and it shows.
As Professor Thomas Weber, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, says:
Our sports-car and performance brand AMG has its roots in motorsport and, ever since its formation, has repeatedly faced up to the competition on the racetrack. These genes are particularly prevalent in the new AMG GT R. Boasting a wealth of technological innovations, the new top-of-the-range model is proof of the close collaboration between our constructors of racing cars and road-going vehicles.
The team at Park Place Dealerships is extremely excited about the AMG® GT R, and we’re not the only ones. Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, calls it “the next level of driving performance,” saying:
This road-going sports car with motor-racing genes and innovative technical solutions offers an ultimate driving experience that allows people to feel our motorsport origins in every fiber. It combines the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3 racing car with the everyday practicality of the AMG GT. Those with gasoline in their veins will be thrilled by the radical longitudinal and lateral acceleration, the precise turn-in and the sensational grip. We have modified all performance-relevant components and linked them together intelligently for maximum driving dynamics.
“Maximum driving dynamics” sounds pretty great to us. If that sounds good to you too, contact us at Park Place Motorcars in Dallas, Fort Worth, Grapevine, or Arlington to learn more about the 2018 Mercedes-AMG® GT R, or any of our other new Mercedes-Benz models.
