Tomica 1:65 Mercedes AMG GT R Coupe, Green

The Mercedes-AMG GT (C190 / R190) is a two-door, two-seater sports car produced in coupé and roadster form by Mercedes-AMG. The car was introduced on 9 September 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show. After the SLS AMG, it is the second sports car developed entirely in-house by Mercedes-AMG. Lewis Hamilton assisted with the development. The Mercedes-AMG GT went on sale in two variants (GT and GT S) in March 2015, while a GT3 racing variant of the car was introduced in 2015. A GT4 racing variant, targeted at semi-professional drivers and based on the GT R variant, was introduced in 2017. All variants are assembled at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.

The GT R is a high-performance variant of the Mercedes-AMG GT and was revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 24 June 2016. The M178 engine in this variant is tuned to an output of 585 PS (577 bhp; 430 kW) at 6,250 rpm and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) at 5,500 rpm of torque. The GT R accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h).

While the GT R retains the key mechanical differences the GT C gains over the GT S, it also gains manually adjustable coilover springs (in conjunction with the AMG Ride Control suspension of its lesser siblings), an active underbody fairing, a manually adjustable rear spoiler, and a 9-mode AMG Traction Control system. As befitting of a high-performance variant, the GT R loses Keyless-Go, the integrated garage-door opener, the heated / power-folding side mirrors, the auto-dimming interior / exterior mirrors and reverts to the basic light-weight 4-speaker audio system that the GT comes with.

When it was launched, the GT R had several cosmetic changes compared with the standard car, notably the vertical slats in the front grille, a fixed rear wing, new front air intakes and new front and rear diffusers. The styling of the GT R is more comparable to that of the AMG GT3 race car. However, the standard car gained several of these cosmetic changes as part of a mild facelift in the 2017 model year. The GT R went on sale in November 2016, with deliveries beginning in 2017.

It completed a lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife track in 7:10.92, in a test conducted by German magazine Sport Auto.and this car has the seventh position for street legal vehicles in 2019.

A roadster version was revealed in March 2019; it will be limited to 750 units.
