For Motor Sports Enthusiasts Who Want to Hit the Track, Price $509.545, New Mercedes-AMG GT GT2 Pro 2024

The machine features Push2Pass, which temporarily increases output to 739 hp.

Mercedes -AMG GT2 Pro was released for wealthy motorsport enthusiasts who want to hit the track. But not necessarily those who want to go racing. Prices start from the equivalent of $509,545 (479,000 Euros).

The Pro uses the current Mercedes-AMG GT2 as a starting point. The new version features the Push2Pass system, which temporarily increases the power of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine to 739 hp (551 kilowatts) during normal driving, compared to the standard 697 hp (520 kW). The sequential six-speed transmission has modified gear ratios.

The GT2 Pro also gets a set of four-way adjustable shock absorbers, while the current track machine uses three-way adjustable parts. Mercedes is changing the aerodynamics of the new model by adding larger end plates to the rear wing.

All GT2 Pros come with a matte gray body with turquoise stripes. The 18-inch wheels have a matching color scheme. The carbon fiber elements of the body acquire a shiny appearance. In the cabin, the finish on the center console gives it a bluish tint. Air conditioning keeps drivers comfortable during the track session. For safety, the vehicle is equipped with a carbon safety cell, five-point seat belt, safety nets, a fire extinguisher and a drain hatch in the roof.

Buyers also get a range of track-focused accessories. Puma supplies racing suits, gloves, shoes and even competition underwear just in case. There is also a Bell helmet in the Mercedes-AMG GT2 Pro design.

Mercedes offers a variety of options to customers looking for more comfort. The passenger safety cell means a second passenger can ride on the track. There is also a seat and helmet cooling and drinking system. Buyers can even get instructions from a member of the Mercedes-AMG Driver Pool.

Although the GT2 Pro is not race-spec as delivered, buyers can downgrade it to be competition-legal. Customers even get priority access to attend AMG Racing Series events.

The AMG GT2 and Pro aren't the only track car variants of this Mercedes sports coupe. In August, the automaker launched the GT3 Edition 55 in a limited edition of just five units. The model did not have FIA homologation for competition, so the company upgraded the 6.3-litre V8 to 650 hp; this was about 100 hp more than the regular GT3. The company charged around $620,000 (625,000 euros) for them.

Mercedes likely has a high-performance, street-legal AMG GT on the horizon. In addition to the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, the Concept E Performance featured an electric motor at the rear axle. The automaker said the system's total output is over 800 hp.
