New Mercedes-AMG GT R (facelift)
The Mercedes-AMG GT R needs no introduction in India, as it was originally launched in 2017. At that time, it was priced at INR 2.23 crore (ex-showroom). Now, it’s going to be relaunched. The track-focused but road-legal Mercedes-AMG 2-door coupe is a racing car with a lot of motorsport-derived technologies. The refreshed model launched this month features revised headlamps with three individual reflectors and new DRL. Changes on the inside include a new steering wheel with touch-control buttons, 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster and a bigger, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
Under the hood, there’s the M178 4.0-litre biturbo V8 petrol engine good for 585 PS of maximum power at 6,250 rpm and 700 Nm of maximum torque at 2,100-5,500 rpm. A 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission sends drive to the rear wheels. The 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 3.6 seconds, while the top speed is an unrestricted 318 km/h.
Following the aforementioned AMG models this month, Mercedes-Benz will launch the A-Class Limousine in India in June. Know more about the upcoming compact luxury sedan in our special report here.
