# The Track-Ready 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro Will Start at $199,650

Mercedes-AMG has announced pricing for its most hardcore GT model yet and as you might have assumed, the track-ready Benz won't come cheap. The [2020 Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/25142/2020-mercedes-amg-gt-r-pro-tightened-lightened-and-limited>) will start at $199,650 before destination when it goes on sale in late 2019. The non-Pro GT R, meanwhile, goes for $159,350.

What exactly do you get for your extra $40,000? A bunch of go-fast tech from the company's GT3 and GT4 [racing](<https://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/19439/this-is-the-amg-gt-r-formula-1-pace-car>) machines. Headlining the Pro's feature set are adjustable coilovers, a bunch of carbon splitters, wings, canards, and body bits, an adjustable carbon front sway bar, and, of course, a shedload of stripes. With AMG factory racer Maro Engel at the wheel, all of this helps the GT R Pro get around the Nürburgring Nordschleife over six seconds faster than the ["regular" GT R](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/12896/2018-mercedes-amg-gt-r-review-drivers-prepare-to-laugh-hysterically>) (not the stripes so much, just the other stuff).

Introverts in the market for a GT R Pro—you guys exist, right?—will be able to delete the stripe in case you'd like your fire-spitting Mercedes to look a little more discreet.

As with the GT R, the Pro is powered by a 577-horsepower, 4.0-liter, bi-turbo V8 good for 516 pound-feet of torque. It's hooked up to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and propels the car to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Top speed is a lofty 198 mph.

Folks interested in this sort of thing more as a collector's item rather than a driving machine will be pleased to hear that only 750 will be made.
