Mercedes-AMG has confirmed Australia will receive an allocation of 15 of its GT R Pro models in September, despite earlier reports that the hardcore, track-focused model may not make it Down Under.
The Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro will be built in a limited production run of just 750 cars globally, stripping weight and adding performance to the Mercedes-AMG GT R coupe on which it is based.
By comparison, a standard Mercedes-AMG GT R coupe starts from $368,700 plus on-road costs.
Powered by the same 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as the GT R, the GT R Pro produces 430kW and 700Nm sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Separating itself from its GT R stablemate, the GT R Pro gains track-focused revisions to its suspension, including electronically-adjustable spring preload, shock absorber compression and rebound, front and rear anti-sway bars, and mounts for the engine and transmission.
Inside, the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro comes with Nappa leather trim, rear privacy glass, seatbelts in a silver finish, and a retractable cargo area cover.
