A quick side-by-side of the GT R vs the GT3 RS.

The frog you mean. It looks like one too.

But this frog bites, really hard.

The inverted grill suits this car a lot more than the SL, IMO.

Should have integrated a better looking traction control button. This belongs on a prototype.

Talk about a killer overbite, that is one angry looking GT with the sound to back it up.
I really like the grill. The shape of the headlights compliments the inverted design.

Dam it, it was worth a try.

The AMG GT R is a car developed for the race track, in fact it’s nickname ‘the beast of the Green Hell’ was not just a marketing slogan but the test drivers and engineers started calling the early prototypes running at the Nordschleife ‘the beast’. The Nurburgring was certainly the most important proving ground for the AMG GT R and Tobias Moers said achieving lap times of around 7:20 is not a problem for the beast.

During and after the world premiere we heard a lot of people chat about the exclusive color on the AMG GT R called AMG Green Hell Magno. It is a matt green with a special flake that gives it a beautiful eye-catching shine in sunlight. The color also provides a link with its nickname: “Beast of the Green Hell” and emphasizes its strong ties with the green hell. Tobias Moers was very happy with the way the color works in daylight as prior to the world premiere they had primarily seen it in the photo studio. With artificial light it is hard to judge the true qualities of a color like this.

7:20 is bloody damn good, if its true!

 

[Wunderkind]

7:20 is bloody damn good, if its true!

If Moers says 7:20 is "not a problem", then maybe his development drivers can do 7:12-7:15 in ideal conditions.

7:20 is like 7s off the SLS BS, impressive!

Just a sidenote porsche claims 7:27 for new Panamera Turbo..

Quick question: (hopefully it has been answered)
Why the strange four exhaust routing? To blow into the diffusor air stream and accelerate the air? Someone explain?
Thank you!

I think so. The Veyron and Chiron do this too.

Doubt that. Probably more to do with exhaust sound tuning. Wouldn't be surprised if in "loud" mode more exhaust is channeled through the side exhausts bypassing the center muffler. Or something like that...

Porsche does it all the time. On the 911s, the side mufflers get bypassed in "sport" mode and at higher rpms.

Edit:

On closer look, bet that is exactly what is happening. What I marked below is probably a vacum valve that is closed normally, forcing all the exhaust through the center muffler/exhaust. At higher rpms and/or "loud" mode, the valve probably opens allowing more exhaust to bypass the center muffler.
