The head of AMG, Tobias Moers, says that there is no other production model of the company as close to motor racing as the new AMG GT R PRO, as the car gets the racing DNA of the GT3 and GT4 racing cars.

The updated Mercedes-AMG GT series is also shown in public for the first time. The two-door Coupes and Roadsters get the AMG DYNAMICS control system that makes them more agile. They also receive the all-new AMG Performance steering wheel, a center console with a new and innovative display concept and a fully digital instrument display with AMG combined “Supersport” display.
