The AMG GT/GTS exists already with 340 kW (462 hp)/375 kW (510 hp). Now AMG fills the gap between GTS and racing GT3. At the same time the GTR reminds the truly legendary Panamericana-300SL of 1952 by its large opening in front for cooling and 15 vertical struts.
An important factors related to the very high top speed is the necessary downforce for the frontaxle. And there are double coolers inside the wheelhouses, so that aerodynamic there is important, too. In race mode a very light carbon element under the vehicles front end is extended for additional downforce driving faster than 80 km/h.
The aerodynamic package is completed by a double rear diffuser and the active air handling system behind the front bumper. There is a targeted deflection of the airflow down and in need for cooling air possible into the engine compartment to only in this case take the larger air resistance into account. The rear wing is rigid.
The variable adaptive damping is assisted by a coilover suspension. The larger differences between front and rear axle (47.3 to 52.7 percent) than in the GT causes more different dimensions of the wheels. Added to this is the active rear steering (pictured below). Up to 100 km/h it is steered opposite and from then an the same way as the front steering. 08/16
