2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Sold By August Motorcars

Few cars embody the spirit of a race car for the road quite like the Mercedes-AMG GT R. As the top-tier performance variant of the AMG GT lineup in 2018, the GT R was engineered to dominate the track while maintaining its composure on everyday roads. August Motorcars was proud to deliver this 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R, finished in Black over a Black interior with yellow contrast stitching, to its new owner. With just 20,530 km on the odometer and in fantastic condition, this car is a stunning example of AMG’s relentless pursuit of performance and luxury.

The Exterior: Sleek Menacing Design

The sleek Black paint emphasizes the GT R’s menacing design, with sharp lines and aerodynamic features that showcase its racing pedigree. From its wide stance to the signature Panamericana grille, this AMG GT R commands attention wherever it goes. Aerodynamic enhancements, including a prominent front splitter, active air panels, and a large rear wing, aren’t just for looks—they’re designed to generate downforce and improve high-speed stability.

The long hood and low-slung cabin create the classic proportions of a front-engine sports car, while the lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber construction keep the car agile and responsive. The 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels—wrapped in performance tires—complete the aggressive look, ensuring the GT R is ready for both the track and the streets.

Interior: Sophisticated Luxury Race Car

Inside, the cabin balances luxury and motorsport with Black leather and Dinamica microfiber, accented by striking yellow contrast stitching. The lightweight AMG performance seats provide excellent support during spirited driving, while premium materials and meticulous attention to detail create an atmosphere of exclusivity.

The GT R’s interior is driver-focused, with a flat-bottom AMG steering wheel, a center console dominated by the “V8” button layout, and a fully digital instrument cluster providing real-time performance data. The combination of sporty design elements and refined craftsmanship makes the cockpit a perfect place to experience the car’s incredible capabilities.

Performance: V8-Powered Beast

The AMG GT R is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, delivering 577 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, the GT R rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, with a top speed of 198 mph. The powertrain offers an intoxicating blend of brute force and precise engineering, with a soundtrack that roars, snarls, and pops in true AMG fashion.

Nicknamed the “Beast of the Green Hell,” the AMG GT R’s moniker is a nod to its development on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. It’s equipped with rear-wheel steering, an AMG-tuned adaptive suspension, and a limited-slip differential, ensuring razor-sharp handling and cornering stability. The Race mode and adjustable traction control system allow the driver to fine-tune the car’s behavior, whether it’s carving up a racetrack or navigating twisty back roads.

Driving Experience: Precision Meets Thrill

The GT R’s driving dynamics are nothing short of exhilarating. The rear-wheel steering enhances agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds, while the adaptive suspension adjusts to provide the perfect balance between comfort and performance. Whether blasting down a straightaway or tackling tight corners, the car feels planted and responsive, giving the driver unparalleled confidence.

Thanks to AMG’s attention to detail, the GT R is not only fast but also engaging. The throttle response is immediate, the brakes are immensely powerful, and the steering is precise, making every drive an occasion. This is a car that begs to be driven hard and rewards the driver with an experience that’s as visceral as it is refined.

This 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R delivered by August Motorcars is a shining example of AMG’s commitment to blending extreme performance with everyday usability. With its Black exterior, luxurious Black interior with yellow accents, and low mileage, this GT R is a rare find that perfectly balances aggression and elegance.

For its new owner, this car promises a thrilling driving experience, whether it’s on the open road or pushing its limits on a racetrack. The AMG GT R is more than just a high-performance sports car—it’s a statement of passion for driving, engineered to be both a technological marvel and an emotional experience.
