Is the Mercedes AMG GT R a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?

The AMG GT R is a extreme performance car from Mercedes. On the outside you will discover a special paint color, aftermarket forged wheels, tons of carbon fiber and unique center exhaust. On the inside there is a mixture of Alcantara & leather. Under the hood is a 4.0L bi-turbo V8 mated to a 7-speed DCT. Is the Mercedes AMG GT R a BETTER sports car than a 2024 C8 Corvette Z06?

I've always loved this car, the front of it looks like a mercedes, but the rear end slopes down like a porche

@RaitisRides Ай бұрын

That’s a good way to describe it

@Schaufelor Ай бұрын

The best thing about it is the insanely long hood. I love it. Together with the amg sound it has such a super car presence.

I love the Nürburgring. It is on my bucket list. This would surely be the car to have when going for fast lap times. This car looks phenomenal in that particular shade of green. Those gold aluminum wheels match the car perfectly. Super sexy sports car. I wouldn't be able to say whether or not this is better than the ZO6. Both cars are the real deal and pretty equal in my opinion.
