GT3

The AMG GTR is completely underrated and Mercedes won’t make another like it. New one is front engine instead of front mid. No rear transaxle, weight balance isn’t anymore 47-53 but the reverse. No dry sump. 9 speed instead of the 7. Rip to the legend Gen 1.

The true Gen 1 and was the AMG SLR done with McLaren. That was too bespoke/expensive and completely wrong so they followed it up with the AMG SLS. Gullwing doors and the greatest NA V8. Still too exotic? Let’s do the AMG GT. Lose the gullwing doors put in a smaller turbo V8. Now? The new AMG GT shares the same platform as lesser Mercs. At this rate, AMG will use the A class with a turbo four and call it the GTLK

Of course the new AMG GT has dry sump lubrication. Stop claiming bullshit, dude! Also its weight distribution will be perfect for driving with an AWD system. It will look the old one like crap. You have no fucking clue, dude!

The new one looks way better IMO and the jury is still out on performance.

The best way to describe the amg gt r is brutal. You will literally feel everything. A drive to the local store will make feel like you were in a f1 race

I've done 21K miles in my GT R and loved every minute of them. Full of character and event, what a weekend toy and track day car should be all about.

AMG GTR. The only car I'd probably forsake a 911 for. So sick.

I was lucky enough to run into the lads whilst they were filming this one and when Jonty offered me a quick ride in the Merc I jumped at the opportunity. Mega bit of kit! Sadly my Focus ST isn't eligible for SCD membership but perhaps one day I'll have a suitable motor. Incredible stretch of road too!!

Hello again 👋

Lovely video, as always! Congrats on both new cars! 😎 I prefer the "old" proportions and interior of this AMG GT generation over the new one...and I obviously love that this GT R is A LOT lighter than the new gen. Not a lot to say about the GT3. Even as a manual fanboy, that thing is epic.

@scd

I totally agree! Thank you 🙏

I purchased my GTR on the way to getting my GT3. It put me back a couple of years, but I just couldn't not get the GTR, it was just that good. Well I finally picked up my GT3 .2 manual to compliment and finalize the journey. I couldn't agree more with your observations and am extremely blessed to have both in my stable! I've finally scratched the itch!

I have a 991.2 GT3 and just sold my SF90 spider so I can go back to an AMG GTR (I sold my green one a few years back). I’ll have the same as you lads in a few months. The AMG is all about theatre btw, especially in the Matt green. Had so many strangers chat about that car to me.

The criticism was grounded on that 3.8's catastrophic failures, and next year (2024) the 10-year warranty on the engine (though replaced) will be over. It's not fair to talk about the 991.1 GT3 without mentioning that "issue". BTW I own a GT Porsche so I'm far from being a hater. Cheers from Italy

How much does an extended warranty on the GT3 cost? A bit worried about the engine myself but do really want to pick one up in 2024

The fact that the gtr is soo good and you cant decides says alot about the car..

I'm starting to believe that the 911 GT3 The Greatest Sports Car Ever Made. It pretty much ticks all the boxes... Price - Performance - Sound - Usability - Affordability (maintenance/Insurance/fuel) - Resale - Parts - Daily Driving - Track Driving - Road Tripping. I usually can't stand Porsche people 0_o but I can't argue with them.

@SCD - what JCR setup did they put on?

congraz guys and awesome cars; I do have to make two mentions, as an enthusiast driver and as a person who drove for one week(almost) in the Alps(and who will go back in late spring '24 for another week of driving). One(the first), even at 5 or 6 in the morning.. or a 7 or 8 in the evening, almost no pass can be driven on hard enough and fast enough in order for a sports car to require carbon ceramic brakes; 2ndly, by the same lane of thinking, alpine passes in.. , well, the Alps, are for enjoyment and not for the last 0.1 around a particular corner or the other so, that argument fails rapidly and the engagement and involvement argument picks up the pace when we talk about a manual gt3. Sure, maybe the dsg only gen. 1 was the obvious choice as it is the less regarded one from the bunch and, thus, slightly cheaper(as "cheap" as a 100k car can be) but, for roadtrips in the Alps in June or late September(early October), a manual is more than appropriate and much more fun. Just because the older gentlemen that go in tours with you(or those a little inexperienced at driving fast), prefer a dsg for its easyness in driving(especially when left to do its own thing(gear changes), that does not mean that for a real enthusiast and an enthusiast at driving, something better can be found, because it can't.. as nothing beats a good manual in a proper car, at proper driving. cheers!

I love AMG and the GTR! No Porsche for me!

I have 5 driver’s supercars in the 210-350k range and I only have 120-140k budget left for 1 car that’s high performance and holds good value, while providing a diff driving experience. These two are def one of the top contenders, however with the engine issue and already having a 3rs eliminates the gt3 right away for me. Def interested in the gtr (a bit concerned with its visibility), other cars in consideration in the same price range would be the new nsx 599, FF, 650s/570s (excluded all the 5.0 and 5.2 v10s coz of redunadancy). This price segment is very interesting, it’s full of driver’s, high perf modern cars that havent or have a slim chance of ever reaching a level of significance or getting picked up as collectors one day. Which one do u think has a better chance?
