Was that Shmee150? Interesting how manufacturers today are using more YouTube influencers than Hollywood stars to promote their products.

The hood is too aggressive imo. The two tone doesn't help it. I get they want to show off it is carbon fiber, but still.

The imbedded and painted louvers are significantly better than the GTR Pro plastic ones. Never understood why they didn't just go the extra mile and at least make those imbedded.

I love that aggressive rear wing. And holy crap that diffuser is wild.

I love the looks - especially how 2 tone really helps to slim the height down from the side profile.

Doubt it. There are only a few allocations for the country . Many if not all were already taken by loyal MB owners or dealers.

just cause your dealer takes a deposit doesn’t mean you’re getting one.

Likely you’ll find them for sale in the states with a huge “market adjustment” lol. Up here in Canada we aren’t allowed to sell over MSRP but the allocations are ridiculously low and usually spoken for well in advance. The GM’s up here like to pick and choose who gets what lol

Do we really need all these Dyson inspired attachments and appendages for a car to perform?

Unlike all the other BS cars, the GT has soooooo many versions. I hope it doesn’t dilute the BS.

Aside from them doors it seems like every aero thing attached to the car is designed by the same 15 year old.

I wonder is anyone would ask this or complain about aero on a Porsche 911 GT2 RS? If used for its intended purpose, aero is essential. For cars & coffee, no...

AMG GT R Pro
I am a fan. I’m sure I cannot get an allocation and the trade in of my Pro would result in a **** value - but - I would get one if I could.

Instead, this winter, I’ll upgrade the turbos, tube, new wheels and see how it goes.

Don't get me started on that. I believe the whole car is designed by a 15 year old.

Have you ever looked at an F1 car's aero package? This car needs grip for bragging rights and it's achieved by DOWNFORCE. Does Rennlist posters ever complain about the wings on the Gt3rs orGt2rs? If it's too extreme for you then it's not for you. it's intended purpose is to have extreme road and track performance and that's how they achieve it. Proly rides too hard for you too.
