- The AMG GT R is a extreme performance car from Mercedes. On the outside you will discover a special paint color, aftermarket forged wheels, tons of carbon fiber and unique center exhaust. On the inside there is a mixture of Alcantara & leather. Under the hood is a 4.0L bi-turbo V8 mated to a 7-speed DCT. Is the Mercedes AMG GT R a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?

I've always loved this car, the front of it looks like a mercedes, but the rear end slopes down like a porche
That’s a good way to describe it
The best thing about it is the insanely long hood. I love it. Together with the amg sound it has such a super car presence.
Gorgeous car the wheels, the green, beefy brake rotors, looks like a fighter jet!
It’s a beast!
LMAO that guy at 16:29 running for his life! Probably heard you coming and crapped his pants!
Just the feel when you sit in these things. It hugs you, makes you feel like you’re in a sports cars. It’s a great feeling. You don’t get the same in a lot of other sports cars around this price
That is so very true for sure!
When he pulled up that orange towel out of nowhere got me 😂😂😂😂.
No cap 😭
Mercedes AMG engineers had to kidnap the entire Accounting department to allow this car to be built. The 2024 update is a nice refresh with touchscreen infotainment. Great video Joe!
You are so right about that. I wanted to kidnap this car
The 2024 AMG GT is not just an update, it's the full-on second generation of the AMG GT.
@@fenrirslip it’s built upon the first generation. Don’t argue with me I worked on this team LOL.
@@joebrito2066 Damn, dude take it easy. The new GT shares the same platform with the new SL, and is a little larger as a result.
yeah I can imagine when they said the color mango hell green is the offering
The color, the sound, the style!
It is Automotive Art
That, uhhh, Green Hell Mango really pops in the sun.
This thing is brutal.
That is a very good adjective
Brutal on the wallet 😂
I drove this car at Exotics Racing in Las Vegas and it's AMAZING. Would love to get one for me.
It would definitely be one to have in the garage
Love this car so much..
Perfectly spec ...
Looks better than the new one
For me, RWD with the engine in front is the best setup.
I love the Nürburgring. It is on my bucket list. This would surely be the car to have when going for fast lap times. This car looks phenomenal in that particular shade of green. Those gold aluminum wheels match the car perfectly. Super sexy sports car. I wouldn't be able to say whether or not this is better than the ZO6. Both cars are the real deal and pretty equal in my opinion.
A FFJ car……fun for Joe 😃. Awwwwwesome color !! 👍 …..and the wheels 😍
I’m so glad I could share the fun with you
I think you scared the BEJESUS out of that guy @16:29! LOL
😂😂😂😂
I think he was excited!
LOL I love sharing the laughs!
I love watching the face snap in and out of focus during the on throttle part of the videos. lol
Thanks for taking the ride with me!
Awesome review, Joe! Been a subscriber to you for going on 3 years now and never miss a video! 🔥🔥🔥
That’s so awesome of you! Thanks for bring on the journey with me!
he sounds extremely excited on this one haha.
You better believe it Robby
All I can say is wow, what a masterpiece of a vehicle Joe.😊😊😊
I’m so glad you enjoyed this one.
JMO but I like the infotainment screen to be more integrated in the dash rather than sitting up there like a tv. Love the round vents.
Thank you Joe for another sports car review. I notice in your car collection. You do not own a Mercedes Benz. They are real good cars. My mom has a E320 it drives so smooth. But if I had to pick this car over the C8 I’m picking the C8. Thank you Joe for another great review.😀👍🏾
The sickest sports car of all time ... The auto barn burner ❤❤❤☠️💀
You nailed it my friend!
Pretty sure that goes to the GTD.... Idk man
Best job on earth to drive all these amazing cars
I am just glad that I can share them with you!
9:43 Unbelievable That Exhaust Note
Music to my ears!
Good to see it in an actual color
"To the door panels!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love hearing him say that!
Perfect paint and wheel color combo.
Very, very smart to fix the oil distribution in this way.
Those are some of the most beautiful wheels I've ever seen. Pyrotechnic.
Great review Joe. It's green hell magno not Mango 😂😂
Happy Sunday, Joe. I hope you and Lori are back home 🏡 relaxing, brother 😎
Hey Joe, with engines like these, please also include the initial crank sound when you press the engine start button. It adds the extra charm to the engine sounds
My dream car!!
I’m so glad that I could bring it to you
One of my dream cars
Dream big!
Every young driver needs to get this sound memorized, and have the experience of at least trying out a car like this. It's not just about transportation, but the art and science of the craftsmanship involved.
That is a awesome beast. Thank you for sharing.👍👍👍
I am so glad that you could take the ride with me Patrick!
Almost as nice as my dad's 1960, Rambler Rebel Turquoise V8, I used to steal it when I was 14 and drove around the neighborhood with it. I felt sorry for that guy that crossed the street, when you were barreling by, I think he dropped a box of Twinkies on the sidewalk.😅
I'm thinking YES! I might have to zonk the towel~ it should have been a green towel. (lol) Decent price.
LOL You are hilarious!
This car is STUNNING!!!
My dream car right here!!😢😢
Dream big for sure
@@RaitisRides Dream big or go home haha
I've never seen Joe so excited. He's driven plenty of cars, but this one seems to have taken the cake.😂
und Seiner Wiener Schnitzel 🤣😂
I'm choosing this over the C8 Z06 for just the exhaust note alone. I'm not a fan of the Z06's flat-plane crank engine's exhaust note.
Thanks Carlos for your honest opinion.
What's funny you can't say "well it's twice the price of the vette" anymore🤣 loaded Z06 is north of $160K
That sound 😮😮😮❤❤❤
I know right! Pure music to my ears!
I would have the exhaust on the loudest setting just to piss people off .
That’s the way to do it!
You bet! We luv our ICE noise!
You're one of those weirdos huh. You must been younger than 17
Found the guy with a loud crappy civic
You did it again Joe 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Yes of course Joe & I can't wait to drive this.
You would love to drive this
Man I love those wheels! On throttle Joe. 🔥🔥
Those wheels are bad ass, I thought they were an aftermarket HRE or something at first.
It’s not a stock wheel
@@princesekyere9679 Ah, I thought he said it was an optional wheel.
Do more Mercedes AMG model reviews! I don't mean the latest model but past models like this!
You got it! Stay tuned for sure!
I love how my C300 is not touch screen, every time I get in another car, and I don't have my wheel or track pad I get mad lol.
I am glad that you are liking this one.
I've always loved this car for the looks, the color and the engine. I'm glad the drive doesn't disappoint!
What a gorgeous brute of a car. You know Joe's impressed when he has to ask, "Where's my towel?"
You better believe it!
1:47 It’s not Mango 🥭 but Magno
One of my favorite Mercedes cars ever absolutely sick 😮
You have great taste Antonio!
Close your eyes in a vacuum, no brand allegiance, no bias, and tell me this isn't the top 3 most exciting sounds of any engine ever made. It has the low and medium grunt, the high end isn't obnoxious like many others, and the pops are consistent. 90% of drivers would wish their cars sound like this, given performance was there which would allow me to accept the green hell/gold color. The performance and sound make the color fit.
Great way to put it!
When is the 2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ coming out for sale and test drives?
That is the million dollar question
@@RaitisRides lol
Z06 all day, can't even compare, the Z06 flat plane is insane.
I hope you let the local police department know when you're recording haha, another fun review. Dream car right here, and that exhaust sounds heavenly
I have a lot of local PD that are subscribers
Joe doesn’t have to worry about the local police. He owns the local police 💪😎
FYI. Bi turbo is twin turbo. And no, one turbo doesn't spool up before next. It's a hot V setup with one turbo for each bank(cylinder head). They are the same size turbo and spool together.
You need one of these Joe! What a machine!
The challenge is it does not have a manual.
WTH golf club skit was priceless lol
The crazy thing is that it is true!
They guy started running 🏃🏽♂️ when her heard that coming lol 16:28
Awesome super fun.
Thanks for taking the ride right now
Amazing review Joe.
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
@@RaitisRidesYou're welcome Joe.
I love that sound. i always like AMG GT R. looks fun to drive
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
This was a special one for sure!
Amg has more presence
Love your video
How could this car not have an aluminum dead pedal?
Absolutely beautiful car!! that engine bay is no joke. Absolute masterpiece of engineering.
What's funny tho, is imagine buying this for 130k+ only to have a 5k civic with a decked out K-swap keeping up LMAO!!
Wild how that works. But man, This is a peace of art.
It is a beast for sure!
Been doing IMSA races on iracing in this same model and it's an absolute beast.
That is so very cool and you are so very right about that!
That one was hard for Joe to give it back!
I have the exactly same spec green hell magno with rear wing and mirror caps carbon and full opted carbon interior. But my car has carbon ceramic brakes. 2018 model year pre facelift without opf. That is a beautiful car.
What a monster. That color is beautiful and the sound is chefs kiss
wait what? green hell mango? i gotta rewind many times to hear it right.:)
Yep! You heard correct
Wow. This car is something special! Great review like always!
The last AMG…
You said it right
@@RaitisRides Hope you get to test the new GT63 and can let us know if it just drives like a hard-top SL compared to the V8 S2000 that the original GT product was like 😊 (they autocross excellently btw)
This car and the McLaren 765LT are two of my favorites ever.
You have great taste!
Raiti I was thinking why dont you also do a night version of these high performance super cars at night? All the illuminated options in the vehicle would be nice to see at night.
St.Patrick’s x The Leprechaun itself
Hidden Gym right here.
17:44 😂😂😂 yeahh!
Oh yeah!
"That Car, that Color and those wheels...Wow"
That pedestrian was running for his life!
Better than the new version…. I said the same when this replaced the sls amg. I stand by that also. Since the sls these cars have been loosing flavor
I totally agree with you!
Not to be the annoying nerd, but it's 9 level TC, not 7. Also it's the standard speaker option. The upgraded speaker system has circular silver tweeters on the dash. Great video otherwise
Joe your reviews have always been awesome. Today is maybe my second or third time commenting I love your content.
Thanks for riding with me on this one and letting me share it all with you!
I see C8s all the time, I never see these. Easy choice if you ask me
I bet you never seen a c8 z06 on the street. It’s more rare than the amg gtr
@@G0ddEityawesome I’ve seen several of the new ZO6s already in public. I’ve never seen an AMG GTR on the road other than car shows.
Holy crap that's gonna be one of the best sounding engines I've ever heard' AMG🔥
Hey Joe. Maybe bcuz the front end is so long. But it didn't look like it was going as fast as the Z06 for some reason. Nice fast looking car though.
I used to see one of these when I was a young buck walking home from school everyday and loved it
That is a special memory.
Yemann liken the two piece split rims kidd winners them son.machine the AMG GTR 🔥💯💪🏻
When I arrived at work today my boss said good morning and I responded very loudly ON THROTTLE!!!! she winked and smiled !😂
Joe - I had the opportunity to drive the GT-R at the AMG Academy at Laguna Seca. Incredible mechanical grip! And the brakes are impressive as well. They really did a great job setting up this car.
I'm curious though, was the exhaust stock on that car? I don't remember hearing that much burbling.
Wow , incredible machine.
Thanks for a great review
I’ve always loved AMG
You have good taste!
Someone who subscribes must know someone who can get you on an airfield strip so you can post 1/4 mile times. Especially in cars like this beauty!
I wouldn’t take green at any price but it could be vinyl wrapped blue!
I need a towel after watching that 😂
I personally don’t think it’s better than a c8 especially the zo6 but it’s a great car!! Are you going to do a video on the new zr1 when it comes out??
You know it Konor
Another great video, Joe- could you see if you can deliver a review on a Porsche 911 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS Coupe, like you kindly did for me for the new base 2024 Porsche Cayenne? Best, Christopher
