Hi everyone, my name is Michael and I’m from S. Florida.
I just recently sold my McLaren 650S and ventured over the Merc side.

I always loved the Merc GT R, and when I saw this one, drove it and immediately fell in love with.
The McLaren was fast, and looked more exotic, but I just didn’t love it.
I’ve had Lotus and Porsche Turbo S, but someone they were always unbalanced. Either lacking power or soulless.

Thank you!



Thank you!



Absolutely!
I'm pretty sure I can identify. The GTR is so aggressive in appearance! I too have owned a 911TT and a 911 Targa too, and while I wouldn't say soul less I would say I opted to keep my 63 versus the 911, although I do hope to get another one when my kids are bigger
