Low-mileage AMG GT S Packs 714 HP at an Amazing Price – Marketplace Finds

Super-sporty Benz has been fitted with a long list of Renntech upgrades but it is being sold for a fraction of the original cost.

While flipping through the MBWorld Marketplace, we came across this 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S and instantly fell in love. Listed by current owner mattsmusic, this GT S looks incredible in pictures with an aftermarket suspension setup and wheel package presenting a menacing stance, but the appearance is only the tip of this iceberg.

This AMG sports coupe is equipped with the Renntech R2 Performance Upgrade package, lifting the output to 714 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque, so this car looks great and runs even better. Most importantly, it is listed at just $115,000, which is a fraction of what this car cost to build when new.

Introduction

When the OP first listed his 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S for sale, he included a ton of pictures and an extensive overview of the vehicle. This included the story of how the current owner came to own this car, why he is selling it, why it is being sold at a dealership and, of course, the full list of upgrades and features. We have organized the key details to share here, but you can read the rest in the original thread.

Price is exactly what I paid for it. $115000 FIRM.

I am the current owner of this car. I bought it from a dealer 2 weeks ago and immediately had a health/financial problem. The dealer is selling it for me and is being kept safe in their garage. I have put zero miles on this vehicle, it literally never left their lot. Definitely a unique and badass AMG GTS!”

A Smokin’ Deal

This car has a unique exterior look, a worked engine, a modified suspension setup and aftermarket wheels and tires, all of which cost more than $186,000 when the car and components were new. More importantly, in looking around online, it seems that similar low-mileage 2016 GT S models are selling in the low $100,000-range and there are stock cars listed for just as much money as the Renntech-tuned machine shown here.

In other words, you can buy a stock car that doesn’t look or perform as great as this one for the same basic price point, or you can buy this gorgeous red-and-black Renntech-tuned unit and tear up the track with 714 horsepower and a high performance suspension setup.

If you have been looking for a built AMG GT S, your search might be over.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
