Despite creating the world’s first petrol powered car in 1886.The Mercedes AMG R-Benz is the most surprising car the Marque has ever made. Why? Put simply no other commercially minded enterprise in the history of humanity would dream of putting a 502 BHP, 6.3 litre V8 in an MPV.
The AMG R is the ultimate “hot people carrier”. Despite that being a pretty powerful unique selling point. It was not enough to save the model from being discontinued after just one year. At Keith Michaels we think more car engineers need the spirit of AMG. Petrol quite clearly courses through their veins and it’s reflected in their decision to make the world’s ultimate production Q-car.
It’s a great shame more AMG R’s weren’t sold. And whilst it doesn’t have the best handling, that’s not point. It’s a fun and capable car; with the same appeal that makes people put Porsche engines in camper vans.
The AMG R is truly an enthusiast’s car. If you are lucky enough to be the proud owner of a Mercedes AMG R we would love to hear from you. Get in touch with us today for your AMG R insurance.
