Mercedes-Benz is on a roll when it comes to launches in India. The Indian arm of the German automobile manufacturer has launched quite a few cars in the last six months. Now the company is getting ready to launch the 2017 AMG GT R in India.
Although the company has not made an official announcement regarding the launch details, a few images shared on the web reveal that the first unit of the AMG GT-R has landed in India, hinting at an impending launch. Finished in the signature ‘Green Hell Magno’ paintjob, this AMG GT-R is believed to be the first ever Right Hand Drive unit to be manufactured at the company’s plant in Affalterbach, Germany.
The model is likely to be headed to Bengaluru where it could share the garage with a range of exotics including a Ferrari 458 Speciale, India’s only Porsche 911 R, a Vorsteiner Novara Huracan and an Aston Martin DBS to name a few. The car ources power from a twin turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 engine. This motor is tuned to produce 577 hp and 700 NM of torque. Paired to a seven speed dual clutch transmission, the model can sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 3.6 seconds, up to a top speed of 318 kmph.
