The Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe is the king of the range listing for $361,042.

All AMG GTs have a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 but the R makes the most grunt with 430kW/700Nm.

A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission shifts gears with drive sent to the rear wheels.

With a top sped of 318km/h the GT R can sprint form 0-100km/h in 3.6 seconds.

Standard features include AMG 'Interior Night' package, nappa upholstery, a carbon-fibre roof, static rear wing and yellow brake calipers, heated and ventilated, power-adjustable seats, AMG Performance steering wheel, 10-speaker Burmester sound system, a 10.25-inch media touchscreen with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 'Mercedes Me' connect system, a 12.3-inch virtual instrument cluster, LED headlights, plus alloy wheels (staggered 19-inch at the front and 20-inch at the rear) with a matt black finish.

Laura Berry
Senior Journalist
Laura Berry is a best-selling Australian author and journalist who has been reviewing cars for almost 20 years.  Much more of a Hot Wheels girl than a Matchbox one, she grew up in a family that would spend every Friday night sitting on a hill at the Speedway watching Sprintcars slide in the mud. The best part of this was being given money to buy stickers. She loved stickers… which then turned into a love of tattoos. Out of boredom, she learnt to drive at 14 on her parents’ bush property in what can only be described as a heavily modified Toyota LandCruiser.   At the age of 17 she was told she couldn’t have a V8 Holden ute by her mother, which led to Laura and her father laying in the driveway for three months building a six-cylinder ute with more horsepower than a V8.   Since then she’s only ever owned V8s, with a Ford Falcon XW and a Holden Monaro CV8 part of her collection over the years.  Laura has authored two books and worked as a journalist writing about science, cars, music, TV, cars, art, food, cars, finance, architecture, theatre, cars, film and cars. But, mainly cars.   A wife and parent, her current daily driver is a chopped 1951 Ford Tudor with a V8.
