Mercedes-AMG GT

Here at AMG, we can be sensible if we want to.

Nissan GT-R R35

Porsche 911 Carrera (991)

The **Mercedes-AMG GT** is a 2-door grand tourer manufactured by the AMG division of Mercedes-Benz and is the first car from AMG to be launched under the new Mercedes-AMG sub-brand. It's the successor to the SLS AMG.

## Summary

The Mercedes-AMG GT is added to the game in patch 1.0.11 along with the Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren 650S. It has a starting PR of 583, a maximum PR of 937 and a final PR of 1031 (with all 12 tuning points applied).

A Lunar New Year version of the AMG GT was released along with the Jaguar F-Type R for the Year of the Monkey special event. It features a unique Monkey Year paint job and a stage 6 bodykit, it cannot be visually modified.

## Performance

The AMG GT sports overall balanced performance, with average top speed, acceptable acceleration and responsive handling. It's nitro state is the highest among the three.

Launching the AMG GT is relatively easy as the player needs to maintain an engine speed of 7,000-9,000 RPM to launch the car perfectly.

A drawback of the AMG GT is its below average acceleration state at max, which is notably lower than those of similarly ranked sports cars. This can put the AMG GT at a disadvantage on shorter race tracks that demand swiftness.

The Lunar New Year version of the car sports identical performance to the original version.

## Usage

#### Regular Version

Overall, the AMG GT is a very good choice for new players hoping to obtain a powerful and stylish sports car. Although it's considered more practical to save up resources for the more competitive Nissan GT-R. However, if the player dislikes the GT-R or prefers the AMG GT, then he/she can launder their resources, cash, fuel, and race skips (for beating Frank) on this car without regret as both can help the player with their in-game journey.

Campaign is also a place where the AMG GT shows it's strength, A fully upgraded, scanned, and slightly tuned AMG GT can both be able to get the player to the PR barriers for Marcus King and Ajax.

In terms of Car Series, the AMG GT is usable in two of them: *Autobahn Overdrive* (along with the Porsche 911 Carrera and the BMW M4 F82) and *Mercedes Sprint* (along with the SLK 55 AMG). It is the most powerful car for both Car Series having higher PR ranks than all 3, however, the 911 and SLK are easier to obtain for starters as the 911 can be obtained by beating all three Renegades and the SLK can be obtained with rep Level 35.

#### Lunar New Year Version

The Lunar New Year version of the AMG GT is merely a collector's item, the fact that it has no performance strong points over its regular version and that it can only be obtained by real-world money makes it extremely impractical.

The Lunar New Year AMG GT is featured in the Car Series *Lunar Rides*, along with the Jaguar F-Type R. In terms of completing the car series, the Jaguar is a far more practical choice as it can be won for free.
