GTS/GTR tidbits
GTR Grill
This grill is of historical significance - found first in the famous 1952 300 SL that won the Carrera Panamericana.
Mark King's famous # 18 was dressed in green.
This grill will be developed to become an AMG icon and will also be part of a he next GT/GTS mid series refresh.
Expect annual production of about 2000 worldwide, with 50% coming to the USA.
Suspension on the GTR IS considerably stiffer than GTS. C setting on GTR = Sport + on GTS.
Sound is also considerably louder and raspier in Sport/Race mode.

GTR suspension C setting is like Sport + on GTS? Ouch! That would be a hard setting to be the "softest" on a daily driver. Driving periodically on a race track is something different. All the race tracks I've raced on have been almost perfectly smooth. City streets? Almost never!

I think the GTR is absolutely fabulous but given the local facts and living in the middle of town, I just can't see myself doing this.

The name is Karl Kling not Mark King - sorry about the "senior moment"
