The 2018 AMG GT R ($150,000 CAD, $106,000 USD) is a 577 horsepower track-focused road car, with a 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 engine and 7-speed DCT. As the “R” model it’s wider, faster, sharper, and more carbon fibery than the GT and GT S, with a heavy focus placed on track performance and setting serious lap times. But have too many livability compromises been made in the pursuit of pure performance? And how does it stack up against the competition? Thomas and James can’t wait to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

A special thanks to our subscriber Ryan for allowing us to film his car before he sold it!
