Just when you thought the AMG GT R couldn’t get any meaner... The Mercedes-AMG GT can be had in a few different flavors. The standard offering is the GT Coupe, which pumps out a respectable 469 horsepower (349 kilowatts). Somewhere in the middle of the lineup is the GT C , which is a bit more performance-oriented and produces 550 hp (410 kW).

If you consider life is too short and as such you’re not willing to wait until then, buy the R version and send it over to German tuner Domanig Autodesign as they’ll dial the sports car to unprecedented levels of power. Developed in collaboration with IMSA (the tuner, not the International Motor Sports Association), the GTR project started off with a set of larger turbochargers for the 4.0-liter V8. The engineers also fiddled with the exhaust system and created a sports air filter, while an extra radiator had to be installed as well.
