2018 AMG GTR DOG UPDATE

The Admin over on the PL posted the latest GT DOG which includes some refinements to the initial version.

Most notable GTR refinements are;

-- The initial GTR order batch looks like they will be delivered in "the spring of 2017". My guess is that means mid to late March deliveries here in the US just like the Edition 1 GTS models.

--The external black trim mirrors, vent spear, front spoiler, rear panel and side rocker panels on all initial order GTR's only will be carbon fiber to go with the carbon fiber roof (JRCART will be pleased they finally listened).

-- The engine cover will be carbon fiber as well.

-- IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, the COMMAND screen will finally be touch. YEA!!!

-- There is a "app" and software for those who want to track or race their cars which includes camera video.
Supposedly you can "share" data with others via the app through the PL. Should be well used.

There is no MSRP announced yet.

Dealer order banks are open for ALL GT models.

TD33, AMG 17GT and emercier sorry for scooping you guys.

Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like great worthy updates.
Here's another scoop: rumor has it that there will be no black series GT.
Anyone closer to the mother ship that can confirm or deny this? or is this to boost people to buy the GT-R lol?

Damn if that's true I may need to put my new GTR under the car cover and wait to see what the appreciation is.

I'm in the first batch so my guess is I'll have a car by mid to late April.

Best regards

Can you define initial order batch? I have the option for a spring delivery but I have to put in my order in by the end of the month. I am debating between the GTR, e63 amg S, and the r8 v10

If your talking about just the track you are correct, but for all around driving the r8 will blow any GT car away.

SO true. And DD is where I spend 99% of my time, not at the track.

Same here. I don't think that MOST of the guys and gals that are investing in a GTR are planning on beating it up at the track on a regular basis.

The car isn't released yet, however, early reports say the increased track and body stiffness make car more stable at street speeds...

May I add this depends where you live. Down here in SWFL, the sunshine is omnipresent and the roads are smooth.
I have not driven a new R8 yet so I have no opinion yet on which one is better but I currently have no issues with living daily with my GT

Not sure what your saying. The car will be a beast on the track, but it will not be a good DD compared to r8 and turbo s. Not even close

Haven't found an answer to this:


I know the roof is carbon fiber on the GTR, but will they all have the carbon fiber weave look? On all the pics I see of Green Magno, the roof has the carbon fiber weave. On the pics I see of Selenite Magno, the roof is the same color as the rest of the car. (but still made of carbon fiber)


Can someone PM me latest DOG?

Can't help with the DOG but I believe they all have the carbon fiber look. It does not show as much in the Selenite Magno because the colours are rather close

Completely believe they waited for that cars price. The problem is once you spec out a GT3 with must-have items the car is $30,000 more easy. The GTR has very few optional items such as ceramic brakes the rest is mostly standard.

From what I hear only 100 cars are being released for the US market but not sure how true that is. Also not sure if they will produce any more but the word is that is the number for now. All cars are accounted for currently. MSRP is estimated at 160k plus options.....

My option codes are :
Paint 992 Selenite Gray
Wheels RXC
Seats 651 with yellow itching
Trim H77 carbon fiber matte
993 lane tracking
318 exclusive interior
317pkg convenience pkg
773pkg carbon fiber splitter,fins in fender,side skirt and rear diffuser
B28 carbon fiber mirrors and rear wing
C52 car cover
U25 illuminated door sill
5u9 carbon fiber matte cross bar
810 burmster
Yo6 yellow seat belts
L6g
B07 ceramic brakes

On the side note I'm thinking about selling my 2010 c63 with only 10k miles on it .. the head bolts along with the SLS black Series buckets are installed .. see below signature for some of the list of mods ...
