2018 Mercedes AMG GTR VS 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS
2018 Mercedes AMG GTR:
Mercedes-AMG has announced pricing of its sports car, the GT R: $157,995 before all applicable taxes. The 577-hp max-attack GT R may sit at the summit of AMG performance, but its MSRP exactly matches that of the somewhat less intense, and more suntan-friendly, GT C roadster. With the GT R numbers now out, we can survey the entire landscape of AMG GT pricing so interested buyers can know which model to ask for, based on the size of their bonus and their desired level of intensity. The 2018 AMG GT coupe is the gateway model, at $113,395 (or find a 2017 version on the lot and save $1200). The AMG GT roadster is $125,395 (a relative bargain next to the AMG SL63, at $152,275). Stepping up from the 469-hp GT to the 515-hp GT S coupe requires $133,395. For the moment, at least, there is no roadster version of the S, so next up is the GT C coupe, with 550 horsepower, for $145,995; its roadster variant is $157,995, same as the racy GT R coupe...

2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS:
The fastest and most powerful road-approved 911 is ready for launch: The new Porsche 911 GT2 RS celebrated its world premiere at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK. At the heart of this high-performance sports car is a 515 kW (700 hp) biturbo flat engine. Weighing in at 1,470 kg with a full fuel tank, the lightweight two-seater accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The rear-wheel drive Coupé has a top speed of 340 km/h, and with its near-motorsport drive technology, the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS trumps its 3.6-litre predecessor by 59 kW (80 hp) and achieves a torque of 750 Newton metres (an increase of 50 Nm). The engine builds on that 3.8-litre in the 911 Turbo S at 427 kW (580 hp). In order to increase performance, large turbochargers push an increased volume of process air into the combustion chambers. A new additional cooling system delivers optimum cooling at peak loads and, at very high temperatures, sprays the charge-air cooler with water. This causes the gas temperature to fall in the overpressure range and ensures optimum power output, even under extreme conditions. The customised GT seven-speed double-clutch transmission (PDK) in the new GT2 RS enables power to be transferred with uninterrupted traction. What's more, the specially developed exhaust system is made from extra-lightweight titanium, weighs around seven kilograms less than the system used in the 911 Turbo and delivers an emotional sound without precedent. For the first time ever, Porsche Design is celebrating the debut of the high-performance sports car by releasing a special-issue watch. Offering a nod to the world of motorsport, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS watch is exclusively available to owners of the new vehicle and can only be ordered in conjunction with the new GT model at a Porsche Centre from June 30, 2017...
