It's a day I've been looking forward to, my first drive in the brand new and immensely focused, AMG GT R Pro! Building on the already incredible GT R that we know well on the channel from the 30,000km in my car, the Pro dials up the aero, reworks the suspension and shaves some weight to hone in even more for the race track. There will only be 750 units built but to get a taster of what it's going to be like, join me at Hockenheim to push it through its paces.

Unfortunately solar beam yellow is about $10k option on amg gtr, not sure how much on this (or even available). That's why shmee get his gtr on black and wrapped it, saving some substantial money.
rektgg Should be anywhere between 2.5 to 5k (but this depends a lot on the car and the used wrap). Recently got a Mercedes E63 wrapped (not mine) in satin black with 3M vinyl and that was about 3k
I can't even talk like this when I'm doing nothing, let alone driving a car like this at a track like this.... Schmee is truly an elite level communicator. Masterful.
When I watched it back later I realised that it's one take on the track stint, which is proof of just how composed and assured the car is. Of course my familiarity with the GT R plays a role in that but the Pro really makes you feel in control and happy to push on hard!
Techademics Funny you say that. On topic, but upping the ante a little, I recall Senna’s fitness partner observing that Ayrton was the only driver, perhaps occasionally along with Alain who, while at 10/10ths in qualy, would talk base through what the car was saying to him, changes needed, corner by corner, gears, kerbs, positioning and the like. The TV coverage confirmed this. Then they cut sequentially to two, unnamed drivers on the circuit. All we could hear from them was rapid, heavy breathing, as if the person was wrestling a 25kg bag up a few flights of stairs. This increased my already high admiration for the man. In the modern era, many could do this, including Schumacher.
@@Shmee150 Wow that's very impressive! The number of technology cars has these days are incredible. The amount of control they allow you to have in such racing conditions is mind-blowing. I look forward to seeing your AMG GTR Pro reveal video too 😉
It's nice but who's betting we'll see a GTR PRO black edition next year with only 750 units available? Personally I'd keep with the GTR you have, it looks awesome and is tuned to the hills anyway.
I was hoping to find this comment. The car industry is keen on milking the tweaks. It is really weird and concerning how economy made a practical vehicle into a shiny gadget which needs to be replaced with every single tiny upgrade. The Bugatti LVN as an exemplary abomination. Video's like these kinda sickens me. Don't get me wrong: I like how technology makes more impact on the efficiency and power output of a car! And yes, I love balancing all kinds of aspects from that. But more in an informative way, showing progress. Not a "let's use something old and sell it as new to get the people keep on buying all our stuff", milking it. Milking it is keeping progress behind as to sell something 'new' as soon as their first edition is sold out.
@@yorickl3416 some Gt-R type prototypes were recently spotted at the Ring which look more agressive than the pro, as far as you can tell from the camo.
Exactly! And I gonna copy-paste here my comment (focused on the aero) on other video... Additional 220 downforce at 155mph, no wonder the car is named "PRO" cause you have to be a pro to really feel the downforce improvement and be satisfied with your choice of spending 40k£ extra on it. 7 seconds on Nurbur if you are a PRO, and who the fuck would regularly pays to close the track to TRY to reach that? This is a road car, kids! In REAL LIFE, not on Forza or GT, no one is gonna really race them on track regularly! No one PRO for sure! Not to mention the NON improvement on the drivetrain which every ordinary person would feel the difference but they choose not. This is bullshit! AMG GT R PRO-MONEY-GRABBER Go to RENNtech with your regular GT R and spend 40k£... you will see the abysmal improvement in performance that you will get!
GTR PRO is technically the black series Edit I don't think they are bringing the black series name back based on rumours that came out a while ago that a track focus C63 AMG was gonna be called the C63 R
@@kennyd7667 Nah the black series is still being tested and their are quite a few spy shots of it on the Nurburgring. The front end is shaped differently to the pro and the exhaust pipes at the rear look different aswell. AMG head Tobias Moers has confirmed the Black series is coming at the end of next year
It's just insane how well you remember specs etc. Unless you have a chest sheet attached to your camera, dunno how you do it. That car is beautiful. Even if it's not a gt3 beater, etc.
I can't watch complete your videos as they are too long and i always have insufficient internet, but even i used to save my data to at least watch 10 minutes and that 10min is like forever for me Thanks for uploading daily videos...
Not a fan of the stickers it cheapens the look of the car immensely, Similar to when they came out with the new bi turbo C class n E class AMG’s couple years ago
What an excellent video! I enjoyed how composed you were while racing the car. The GTR is very high on my list, I may have to also look at the Pro. Again, excellent review!
Great video Tim, was super detailed and the AMG GT R Pro is such an amazing car and sounds incredible. Your video brings back memories when I drove the AMG GT R on the track. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to put all the fun footage on my channel. I can't wait till they release the AMG GT R Black Series in the next year or two. I know they plan to step it up to an even higher level of performance 😊
Knowing how good the original GT R was, and now what they have done with the GT R Pro, I can only imagine where they are going! No doubt the 'Black Series' will be something with insane demand, and would be a dream to experience when the time comes. For now, I'm hoping I get lucky with a Pro allocation to continue the adventures here on the channel.
@@Shmee150 I know in my heart you'll be able to get an allocation. Mercedes would be crazy not to give you an allocation for this one and even for the Black Series edition next year. You have showcased their cars in an amazing fashion. I personally enjoyed the videos and am looking forward to more content with the AMG GT R Pro for the time being ❤️
The commentary while you was a driving was gold. You could work for sky sports with that talking pace Ahahahaha, great video Tim ! Can’t wait to see this in your garage and possibly upgraded with Renntech??
Absolutely stunning car. I had the pleasure of driving the AMG GTR on track the other day, really enjoyed it. It's such an animal, planted and easy to drive through the corner. The sound is out of this world too, for a turbo charged car 👍🔥
Absolutely loved the video. Would love it if you could actually upload one clean lap with the camera facing the track and pure engine sound in the future when you’re at similar events
This car really makes me just appreciate Porsche more on how they’re capable of timing a sub 7 second lap on their GT3 RS. Insane level engineering with these German rivals.
Definitely my dream car. Found out Im the same age as Tim... I think thats oddly hilarious. His garage is definitely better than mine. Good stuff. Love these vids.
Beautiful cars indeed. I’m kind of on the fence regarding the stripes. I liked the gray stripes on the, I think darker gray car, but some of the other colour schemes looked really aftermarket to me. I guess it’s to each his/her own. Very nice exhaust note. I couldn’t hear some of what you were saying at speed ( I’m in my 70’s) but what a wonderful piece of machinery.👍👍
I love the Yellow Beast...... So the upcoming GT-R Pro, definately, has to become yellow. A warm Yellow with all the black carbon details.. Imagine that..👍
@@muhammadumar8868 a more aggressive version was recently spotted testing at the Nürburgring, no matter what they will call it, it will be probably be out soon.
Really miss the old hockenheim track. Those high speed long straights. I wish one day they add the old track back as a track option. I'm thinking though it will never happen.
Hey shmee (Tim) 6 Adds in one video?I'm a multiple year sub of yours but plz brother not so many.keep up the hard work it definitely pays off..take care
Literally like a football match commentary ... wish car reviewers tried this method as soon as new cars release rather than a 15minute video about how it drives 😂😂
I like your GT R better Tim. This isn't a luxury cruiser anymore :) Yours is still a bit stealthy, though it is quite harcore as well. Also, still no extra protection for the front radiators?
If youtube ever goes belly up and Tim is hard up for work he could become an auctioneer. He was talking fast than car while taking it around that track! LOL and the car was so loud I was like "No idea what the hell you are saying and you're talking so fast I'm not about to try and go back to replay it over and over" LOL

Do the mentioned 750 units include press cars, like the ones used in this launch? There must be 10 cars there alone...

solar beam yellow AMG GTR PRO 🤔
Yess
Unfortunately solar beam yellow is about $10k option on amg gtr, not sure how much on this (or even available). That's why shmee get his gtr on black and wrapped it, saving some substantial money.
Ardi Januar just a quick question, how much does a car wrap usually cost?
rektgg Should be anywhere between 2.5 to 5k (but this depends a lot on the car and the used wrap). Recently got a Mercedes E63 wrapped (not mine) in satin black with 3M vinyl and that was about 3k
Gilles Verbruggen wow, less expensive than expected. I figured it would cost at least $6k.
12:40 that drift and laugh was pure happiness there

Schmee is truly an elite level communicator. Masterful.
It sounds so damn good, even with the particulate filter. Lovely V8 grumble 🔥
I was surprised by how the sound actually managed to hold on despite that
Gotta love the shifting too
How do you talk so much while driving on the track?😂 That is what I call Talent!

Deeper than supper Blondie 👌🏼👌🏼
Wow the silver ones just look epic😈
Well definitely a recommendation for the collection in my opinion if you want more torque or more focused version of the AMG GTR
It doesn't add any torque per say but there is substantially more downforce which makes it much more focused on track
Thx Tim for correction :)
I like the body work, can’t say the same of those particular decals though.
Silver is amazing color !
My guy loves them AMG’s 😎
Definitely my dream car. Found out Im the same age as Tim... I think thats oddly hilarious. His garage is definitely better than mine. Good stuff. Love these vids.
Yes Yes yes saw it today at AMG OF course already sold silver and black is it truly stunning
That timing is so dead on wow. The super quick cold start is something I've wanted in my car. Which I can pull timing at the peak of startup only

My second favorite Mercedes vehicle
My all time favorite is the G-wagon
I don't like stripes or dive planes on cars, but this one makes it look good IMO
Am I the only one who loves the GTS but not the GTR? The lines are so much better when it's smooth rather than all covered in aero bits.
Really miss the old hockenheim track.

You have to get it. Get rid of your current gtr and get not only the gtr pro, but also the gtr convertible

and without having to get rid the old one
They ran out of “GT”s, “C”s and “S”s now they invent this “Pro” I bet new E63s and C63s gonna have these too

Enjoy the ride Shmee! All that talking bro. Lol
Satin silver sure does look good, more like a Mercedes F1 car
That sound! Beast!
The central screen was very clunky but great video and energy as always
The satin silver or full black does it for me
