The Mercedes-AMG GT2 Pro\u00a0has debuted for wealthy motorsport enthusiasts looking to hit the track. But not necessarily those who want to go racing. Prices start at the equivalent of $509,545 (479,000 euros).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Pro uses the existing\u00a0Mercedes-AMG GT2 as a starting point. The new variant gains a Push2Pass system that temporarily boosts the output from the\u00a0twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 to 739 horsepower (551 kilowatts), versus the standard 697 hp (520 kW) during normal driving. The\u00a0sequential six-speed transmission has modified gear ratios.<\/p>\n

The GT2 Pro also receives a set of four-way adjustable shock absorbers, whereas the existing track machine uses three-way tunable pieces. Mercedes tweaks the aerodynamics for the new model by adding larger endplates to the rear wing.<\/p>\n

All of the GT2 Pros come with a matte gray body with teal stripes. The 18-inch wheels have a matching color scheme. The body’s carbon-fiber elements receive a bright finish. In the cabin, a varnish over the center console gives it a bluish hue. Air conditioning keeps drivers comfortable during a track session. For safety, the car comes with a carbon safety cell, a five-point harness, safety nets, a fire extinguisher, and an extraction hatch on the roof.<\/p>\n

Buyers get an array of track-focused accessories, too. Puma supplies a racing suit, gloves, shoes, and even competition underwear \u2013 just in case. There’s also a Bell helmet with a Mercedes-AMG GT2 Pro design.<\/p>\n

Mercedes offers several options for customers looking for more amenities. A passenger safety cell means a second occupant can ride along on the track. There are also available seat and helmet cooling and a drinking system. Buyers can even arrange for instruction from a member of the\u00a0Mercedes-AMG Driver Pool.<\/p>\n

While the GT2 Pro isn’t race-legal as delivered, buyers can downgrade it to be legal for competition. Customers even get priority access for entering the\u00a0AMG Racing Series events.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0AMG GT2 and Pro aren’t the only track car variants for this Mercedes sports coupe. In August, the automaker introduced the\u00a0GT3 Edition 55 in a limited edition of just five units. The model didn’t have FIA homologation for competition, so the company pushed the\u00a06.3-liter V8 to 650 hp \u2013 around 100 hp more than the regular GT3. The company charged roughly\u00a0$620,000 (625,000 euros) for them.<\/p>\n

Mercedes possibly has a high-performance, road-legal AMG GT on the horizon. The\u00a0Concept E Performance featured an electric motor on the rear axle, in addition to the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8. The automaker said the system’s total output was over 800 hp.<\/p>\n
