Mercedes-AMG GT R Reliability Rating As with many low-volume, high-priced performance cars, the AMG GT has not been evaluated by the IIHS or the NHTSA, but Mercedes has a brilliant reputation for building safe cars, and the same should hold true when it comes to the GT's crash structure. US NHTSA Crash Test Result NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time. 2020 AMG GT R Key Safety Features The AMG GT R is decidedly light on active safety features. Standard features include eight airbags, a three-stage electronic stability program, traction control, tire-pressure monitoring, LED headlamps and daytime running lamps, a rearview camera, Parktronic, and adaptive braking technology. While there is attention assist and collision prevention, you will have to pay extra for blind-spot monitoring and lane-keeping assist. Mercedes-Benz has one of the longest lists of optional driver aids for its other models, but most of these can't be specified on the GT.

The Mercedes-AMG GT R is the official Safety Car of Formula One. So far, it is the most powerful safety car of the sport. The mechanical specs of the new AMG GT R F1 safety car is the same as the road-going vehicle. It is powered by a 4.0-liter AMG biturbo V8 with 577 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque.
Mercedes-AMG GT R Reliability Rating Both the NHTSA and IIHS have yet to test one of the AMG variants, which makes complete sense when you consider the fact that only a handful of these cars make their way to America on a yearly basis, and with an asking price sitting comfortably above $150,000, it would be a crime against car-lovers everywhere if the GT R were to be smashed into a million tiny pieces. Despite the lack of official safety status, most owners won't ever question the ability of the Mercedes-AMG GT R to keep them safe in the event of an accident, especially considering the fact that most other Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz cars have consistently scored among some of the safest vehicles on the market. US NHTSA Crash Test Result NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time. 2020 AMG GT R Key Safety Features From its structure, all the way through to its driver assistance features, the AMG GT R has been designed to keep its occupants safe, even during high-speed collisions. It all starts with the GT R's aluminum space frame, which is super rigid and is braced with select carbon fiber pieces to ensure structural rigidity. The exterior also features newly designed LED headlights and taillights with adaptive high-beam assist. Once inside, the AMG GT R offers eight airbags, including side-impact airbags and dual front knee airbags. Active driver assistance features include active brake assist, attention assist, and adaptive braking, with blind-spot monitoring and lane-keep assist being optional extras.

Mar 20, 2018 at 5:59am ET The wait is almost over as the 2018 Formula 1 season will kick off this weekend with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. For the 23rd consecutive year, Mercedes-AMG will be in charge of providing the official Safety Car for the most important motorsport event of them all. The long-lasting tradition started back in 1996 with the C36 AMG, and now for 2018, the GT R is ready to claim the title for the most powerful F1 Safety Car of all time. Update: Mercedes-AMG Developing Lighter, Track-Focused GT R "Clubsport" Mercedes-AMG Spotted Testing Updated GT R At The Nurburgring Armed with a biturbo V8 engine packing 577 horsepower, the GT R follows the lesser GT S version used during the 2015 through 2017 seasons. Once again, behind the wheel of F1âs official Safety Car will be Bernd MaylĂ€nder, who is very eager to drive what he describes as being his new company car: âIt is an absolute highlight in terms of driving dynamics and is one level higher up still than the AMG GT S of recent years. Of course, ideally the safety car should be deployed as rarely as possible â but when we have to safely bunch up the Formula 1 field and lead it around the track, we will be superbly equipped with the AMG GT R.â Compared to a standard GT R, the Safety Car version comes fitted with the optional Track Package encompassing ceramic brakes and a roll-over protection system. The supercar has also received an F1-specific livery and a roof-mounted light bar positioned on an air scoop made from carbon fiber and optimized in the wind tunnel to provide the best possible aerodynamic efficiency. Stepping inside the cabin, Mercedes-AMG has fitted the special GT R with a pair of iPads, with the one on the left showing the live TV broadcast while the one on the right will show an animated display of where the cars are on the track and also the lap times. Other Safety Cars you might like: Aside from dressing the 198-mph GT R in F1 Safety Car attire, Mercedes-AMG will also be in charge of supplying the Medical Car in the form of a C63 S Estate carrying up to three medics. The fast wagon will be in the hands of racing driver Alan van der Merwe joined by FIA F1 deputy medical delegate Dr Ian Roberts on the passenger seat. In the back, one or two assistant medics chosen from a local hospital located near the track will be sitting on the bucket seats fitted with six-point seatbelts. Thanks to its spacious 490-liter trunk, thereâs plenty of room in the trunk of the C63 S Estate for a defibrillator, a respirator, and additional emergency equipment. As a final note, the forthcoming 2018 F1 season will feature 21 race weekends and will come to an end on November 25th with the Abu Dhabi finale at Yas Marina.

Mercedes-AMG will use the most powerful Official FIA F1 Safety Car of all time in the 2018 Formula 1Âź season: the 430 kW (585 hp) AMG GT R will have its debut as the Official FIA F1 Safety Car of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship at the Grand Prix in Melbourne, Australia from 25 to 27 March 2018. The top-of-the-line model of the AMG GT series will ensure maximum safety for the Formula 1 field on all 20 race weekends. The performance and sports car brand from Affalterbach has supplied the pace car in the premier racing series of international motorsports since 1996. With an output of 430 kW (585 hp) and a top speed of 318 km/h, the AMG GT R is the most powerful and fastest Official FIA F1 Safety Car of all time: In this, the 23rd consecutive year, Mercedes-AMG will safely lead the Formula 1 field around the track when bad weather or accidents require its deployment. The AMG GT R is the ideal Official FIA F1 Safety Car, with the driving dynamics of the AMG GT3 racing car, and having spent a large part of its development time in the "Green Hell" of the NĂŒrburgring. "I am very much looking forward to my new company car. It is an absolute highlight in terms of driving dynamics and is one level higher up still than the AMG GT S of recent years. Of course, ideally the safety car should be deployed as rarely as possible â but when we have to safely bunch up the Formula 1 field and lead it around the track, we will be superbly equipped with the AMG GT R", says Bernd MaylĂ€nder, who will again be the driver of the Official FIA F1 Safety Car in the new season. Never before has Mercedes-AMG packed so much motorsport technology into a production vehicle as into the AMG GT R. The front-mid-engine concept with transaxle, the powerful V8 biturbo engine, the elaborately designed chassis, the sophisticated active aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight construction lay the foundations for an especially dynamic driving experience. Wide front and rear wings allow an increased track width for optimum grip and even higher cornering speeds. The front apron with AIRPANEL active air control system and the active aerodynamics profile in the underbody, the large rear aerofoil and the rear apron with double diffuser increase the aerodynamic efficiency and help ensure optimum grip. The lightweight forged wheels are likewise designed for maximum driving dynamics. The same applies to the active rear-wheel steering, the nine-way adjustable traction control system and the adjustable coil-over suspension with additional electronic control. As a result, the AMG GT R offers the optimal prerequisites for the tough job in the premier class of motorsports. The requirements profile of the FIA (FĂ©dĂ©ration Internationale de lâAutomobile) for the Official FIA F1 Safety Car is demanding. It must be able to maintain a minimum speed level to prevent the tyres and brakes of the Formula 1 vehicles from excessive cooling and the engines from overheating. With a top speed of 318 km/h and seconds for the sprint from zero to 100 km/h, the AMG GT R poses no risk for this to happen. Official FIA F1 Safety Car largely in standard specification The Mercedes-AMG GT R clearly has racetrack performance in its genes, as only a small number of modifications were required to transform it into the Official FIA F1 Safety Car of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. The AMG Track Package with roll-over protection system and the ceramic high-performance compound braking system are on board as optional extras. The advantages of the ceramic brakes are a lower weight, a longer service life and even better fade resistance. In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-AMG GT R Official FIA F1 Safety Car differs from the series production vehicle above all by virtue of the FIA and F1 car film and the light bar on the roof. The latter is positioned on a carbon-fibre air scoop that is designed to offer the least possible air resistance while at the same time providing for an aerodynamically optimised flow of air towards the rear aerofoil. The positioning and design of the carbon-fibre air scoop and the light bar are the result of extensive wind tunnel tests. While Official FIA F1 Safety Car driver Bernd MaylĂ€nder focuses on the track and at the same time keeps an eye on the field in the rear-view mirror, co-driver Richard Darker maintains radio contact with race control. Richard Darker monitors the Formula 1 vehicles by means of two iPads. The display of the left one shows the international TV broadcast. The right one can feature either an animated display of the current position of the vehicles or show current lap times. Data management for the visual communication solutions is handled by an InCar Hotspot with WLAN wireless network. Charlie Whiting, FIA F1 Director, says: âWhen a Safety Car intervention is required during a Grand Prix itâs vitally important that we have full confidence in the carâs ability to lead the Formula 1 cars around the track safely. That means we need a car which is not only capable of dealing with the extreme demands a Grand Prix circuit puts on a vehicle travelling at high speed, but also one which is capable of setting a pace that allows the F1 drivers to keep tyres and brakes working at the right kind of temperature so that they do not struggle while waiting for racing to resume. With the latest versions of the FIA F1 Medical and Safety Cars, that confidence is once again assured.â Fast emergency care with the Mercedes-AMG Official FIA F1 Medical Car Alongside the safety car, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate is on hand to provide emergency care as the Official FIA F1 Medical Car of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. It is crewed by up to three medics. At the wheel is racing driver Alan van der Merwe, whilst his co-driver is FIA F1 deputy medical delegate Dr Ian Roberts. The rear seats accommodate one or two assistant medics from a selected specialist hospital near the particular racetrack. For perfect occupant support and safety, the speedy estate is fitted with four sports bucket seats including six-point seat belts. Radio equipment enables communication with race control. To enable monitoring of racing activities, two iPads including InCar Hotspot and WLAN wireless network are also installed in the cockpit. The 490-litre luggage compartment safely accommodates the full complement of emergency equipment, including defibrillator and respirator. The Official FIA F1 Medical Car follows the Formula 1 field on the starting lap, as the racing cars are grouped particularly closely together in this critical phase of the race. In the event of an incident, the medics are thus able to reach the scene of the accident as quickly as possible and administer first aid immediately. During the race, the Official FIA F1 Medical Car is lined up alongside the Official FIA F1 Safety Car in the pits lane. As on the Official FIA F1 Safety Car, the V8 biturbo engine with an output of 375 kW (510 hp), the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission, the dynamic engine mounts and the electronically controlled limited-slip rear differential are on the same high level as the street-going version.

The latest version of F1âs Safety Car is set to be revealed at the Australian Grand Prix next weekend â Mercedes-AMG is bringing its new GT R complete with new F1 logo stickers and flashing lights to head the field should someone drop it into the wall and cause a mess. Mercedes says that the new Safety Car is the most powerful one thatâs ever been used in F1 â it produces 577bhp and has a top speed of 197mph. Still, compared with the current generation of F1 racers and with rumours that Mercedes has almost cracked 1,000bhp with its latest racing engine, driver Bernd MaylĂ€nder will still have to give it full beans even to keep the F1 field circulating slowly.

The car is also fitted with an optional AMG Track Pack, which throws in a rollover protection system and high-performance ceramic brakes. Visually, the car is differentiated from the production version by extensive F1-themed stickers and a light bar thatâs been built on top of a carbonfibre roof scoop designed to offer minimal resistance and funnel air through to the rear wing. Inside the car, co-driver Richard Darker has a radio to maintain contact with race control and two iPads that show the television feed and a variety of customisable information displays. âWhen a Safety Car intervention is required during a grand prix itâs vitally important that we have full confidence in the carâs ability to lead the Formula 1 cars around the track safely,â said F1 race director Charlie Whiting. âThat means we need a car which is not only capable of dealing with the extreme demands a circuit puts on a vehicle travelling at high speed, but also one which is capable of setting a pace that allows the F1 drivers to keep tyres and brakes working at the right kind of temperature so that they do not struggle while waiting for racing to resume.â Alongside the safety car, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate is on hand to provide emergency care as the Official FIA F1 Medical Car, driven by Alan van der Merwe with the FIAâs deputy medical delegate Dr Ian Roberts in the passenger seat.
