Mercedes AMG GT S is a fantastic car. Motor Trend said it's the best driver's car and they may well be right. To me it has something Mercs have been lacking for a while: emotional appeal. Previous-gen C63 was similar, but a lot less controllable
So, it is a fantastic car. Faster than an F Type too. Crazy fast. Lighter than an F Type. Has a bit more room inside than an F Type, although that's relative.
But F Type has even MORE emotional appeal. I don't care that it is slower than an AMG GT S. I don't care that it is heavier or has less room. Just love the F Type and lust after it.
Oh, and the lease payment is half that of an AMG GT S. Cause you can't put a price on love...wait, no you totally can

I am totally in love with my F-Type R. I love everything about it. I also think it looks better (on the outside) than the Merc. I just know there will come a time where I'll need to take another journey & I think the Mercedes GT "R" (not S) will be it.

I was planning to upgrade to an F-type SVR sometimes next year but now this thing is giving me some serious thoughts about going back to MB instead.

Like I said previously, I love my F-type R and everything about it but I'm going back to Benz for this one! That color is nice too. This thing is amazing. Mercedes did their damn thing! Some articles say 577hp and some say 585. Wow! Didn't realize Motor Trend tested the "regular"AMG GTS @ 3.2 0-60! Imagine this one with more power and lighter. I'm sold!

I attended a reception last Thursday featuring the new AMG GT R. Pricing has not yet been set, but the regional MB rep is hoping it will come in just under 200 large. Good luck with that. The F-Type is still a better looking car (and no car without an MT is worth 200k )
Certainly is a tribute to the Panamerica winning car:
