GTR PRO debut
Here's a link with some initial press and pictures as well.
Link Some thoughts: I like the driver display and the infotainment display and the revised on/off button...Not sure about the center console touch buttons. Not a fan of the steering wheel, bodywork on the car. Definitely a step up from the GTR in terms of tuning options and way out of my scope for street use. Can't believe they didn't upgrade the turbos. |
Well good news is no power increase for any of the 2020 cars including the PRO. I would have cancelled my 2019 if they put the E class motor/turbos in the GTR or PRO

So do the 2019 GTR's get the new dash and steering wheel - or is this new for 2020? I was under the impression that the DOG for MY2019 for the GTR said the car was unchanged, except for the addition of the track pace app.

Is this the new BS or will that be coming out later next year?

Renntech GTR likely faster. Don’t understand this besides brake cooling which should have been addressed with GTR. This engine needs a hp bump. |
Kind of disappointed. Like a GTR with bodykit. Same 0-60 mph times and 198 mph top speed. Needed at least 600 hp to compete with 600 LT.

Dissapointed with this. A few upgrades that my contacts at mb said we’re coming on this car failed to materialise. No sign of the promised weight loss either. More adjustability is good though and I will still take the car. Just not as excited about it as I was before the reveal. |

Why would you want a wet sump motor in a GTR? After testing numerous stock cars Renntech rates the GTR motor at 609 stock and the E class motor 691 stock. The torque is a much bigger spread |
Could have just put on slicks on a GTR and it would've done the same lap as the pro or better...

yeah underwhelming. Curious what other upgrades were rumored? Maybe will be on black series My plan for this car when the car arrives is just to do some of those jobs myself. Will also continue the hunt for a GT4 wing. |

That "bodykit" made the car 6 seconds faster at the 'Ring. Much faster than extra ponies would have done.

I wish they had increased the tyre size a little, particularly in the front as well as going with a more aggressive tyre compound also. I also don’t really care for the new steering wheel from the pictures, although I like the new dash. And why in the hell couldn’t the car have come with say 625hp? It would make up for the lack of appreciable wright reduction. It will still be fantastic no doubt; I just don’t think its a big enough ‘upgrade’ for me to think of trading. Bish |

AMG not keeping up with McLaren and Porsche. |

Have to admit I’m a little underwhelmed also. It is gojng to be a better track car what with the suspension changes, and the extra aero will help, but at what cost to street driveability?

I was thinking there would be a bump... I would not kick it out of the garage but no upgrade path for me. |

Bingo. Would have been more impressed with substantial weight loss and horse power gains. AMG not keeping up with McLaren and Porsche. Bish |
