Giancarlo Perlas July 31, 2021

Although SUV-crazed US customers are enjoying the likes of the GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, and GLS, they are certainly missing out from the three-pointed star marque’s hatch and wagon models.

Giancarlo Perlas July 21, 2021

The Mercedes-AMG GT R and the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door may be positioned on the same range, but in reality, the cars are from different breeds. The two-door is a pure standalone sports car while the four-door is more like a roided version of the CLS but with the same face as the two-door AMG GT R.

Giancarlo Perlas July 21, 2021

The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro may have been outshined by the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series, but it is still undoubtedly a formidable foe on the race track. In a video from 2020 SCC500 Rolling50 1000, the sports car was filmed taking on a couple of modified sports cars. As a recap, the AMG GT R Pro houses the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine as the Black Series. However, its specs have settled at 577 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The output is directed towards a rear-wheel-drive system and distributed via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The configuration takes the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6… Continue Reading »
