SportAuto AMG-GT R at Nurburgring

hellrotm · 12-07-2016, 06:58 PM

Wow!

Sport Auto ran a 7:10.92 at Nurburgring with the new AMG-GT R.

A couple other recent times for reference.

Nurburgring(sportauto)
AMG-GT R - 7:10.92
918 Spyder - 7:13
488 GTB - 7:21
991.1 GT3 RS - 7:28
M4 GTS - 7:37

Wow!

48Laws · 12-07-2016, 09:03 PM

Wait..I'm more impressed by the car he was chasing.

That was a FIA spec AMG GT3 race car. Crazy how the AMG GTR seem to almost keep pace.

M3_WC · 12-07-2016, 10:46 PM

That time is absurd, honestly never expected that much gain over the standard car. That is 25 seconds faster than what sport auto did with the GTS.

RABAUKE · 12-07-2016, 11:06 PM

I got to be honest, I'd take one of those AMG GTS or R in a heart beat. I was at an MB VIP soire last summer and got up close and personal with a GTS.....damn I had wood. I think I might take it over a 911, or most 911's. Fauulk me. Damn, the bark when they start that beast up....I need a tissue.

Spyder went under 7:00?

What is Sport Auto?

The exhaust note on that GT-R sounds soooo good

One of the most well respected media outlets in the car industry.

They are the closet thing we get to standardized Nurburgring testing. Independent testing vs marketing times.

Mingwan · 12-08-2016, 02:39 AM

This thing went faster around the track than the viper acr. Damn

Are the other quoted times also set on PS cup 2 tyres? (I think at least the m4 gts also comes on those)

I wonder what a car like the radical rcx turbo 500 on PS cup 2 or equivalent tyres will do on the Nordschleife.

2010 acr.

The 16 has an unofficial and unconfirmed rumoured time of 7:01.67 at the ring.

Mighty impressive for the amg team. That's a gt3rs killer. When is BMW waking up to this?

gonzo · 12-08-2016, 06:17 AM

Maybe it's their audio but it sounds muted in this video.
With that said...

Holy SHEEEET!
7:10.9 is unbelievable. Not literally but nearly.
How can one despise green and want want?

7:10...wth.

Properstyle · 12-08-2016, 08:31 AM

People really discount AMG for their handling ability not realizing they have a long history in racing. Not even a surprise the GT-R went this fast.

AW335TT · 12-08-2016, 04:24 PM

WOW!! I was already in love with this car.. this just takes it to another level. Very impressive.

From the LA Auto show.

All cars on the list are on Cup 2 tires from factory. I thought the 488 came with Pzero's, but according to Sport Auto the 488 they had was wearing Cup 2 tires as well. Must be an option when ordering.

I wish Sport Auto would test the new ACR at the Nurburgring. It would be a well deserved send off for the snake considering that it's predecessor was a record holder.

pgviper · 12-09-2016, 10:59 AM

Extremely impressive.

NorCal f80 · 12-09-2016, 12:49 PM

hows this compare to the nismo gtr on the ring ?

Just over 2 seconds slower, but that NISMO was heavily modified for Ring and its not what you get when you purchase one.

"The original press release did state that the car used featured 'track options', which included 'aerodynamics tuning, weight reduction, and suspension tuning'. It turns out that this also includes 'bigger spoilers for more downforce, different dampers and brake pads, bucket seats that contributed to a significant 50kg weight saving and a new ECU map.'

Now Nissan weren't necessarily hiding this fact, and these parts will be made available to customers, but PistonHeads spoke to NISMO engineers, who confessed that the car had also been specifically tuned for the Nurburgring. This is significant as, for example, the 'Ring car's dampers are actually softer than standard, to aid the car around the bumpy circuit."

Captain Unknown GT4 · 12-17-2016, 05:58 PM

It could be fitted with cage as well I read. The car tested in sport auto was 1555kg full fuel. Not bad weight!

Not sure I they drove a car with cage?

If not it will ad a few Kg.
