The GT R and the Nurburgring are Best Friends

2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R Green Hell Magno Exterior Paint

The 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R is easily going to be one fo the hottest cars of the next two years both on and off the race track. Everything about it is reminiscent of the long history and success of the Mercedes-AMG brand except for one thing. The Green Hell Magno exterior paint that you see on the exterior of the GT R looks really cool, but it is a little more flashy than Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG vehicles of the past. What is the significance of this jungle-themed race car?

The Nurburgring North Loop

The North Loop of the Nurburgring race track is the oldest and longest stretch of track. For nearly a century, it has been the standard testing grounds for Mercedes-Benz supercars and competitors alike. Because of this, Mercedes-Benz and the Nurburgring share a sentiment that not many other automakers can understand.

The “Green Hell”

Famous F1 driver, Jackie Stewart gave the nickname the Green Hell to the North Loop of the Nurburgring after an especially difficult through rain and fog in 1968. This is why the newest GT R is bright green. Of course, it will be available in all colors, but we expect the Green Magno colors will hold the most value.

GT R Active Air Management

Sure, the GT R is capable of 198 miles per hour and only needs 3.5 seconds to get from zero to 60, but speed is not a new trick for Mercedes-Benz. What has us excited are the new features that will affect the passenger cars we sell in our dealership. One of these features is active air management. At varying speeds and G-forces, the GT R opens and closes louvers in its grille that help the engine stay cool and keep the wheels on the ground at the same time.
