Mercedes AMG GTR vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS – road & track

Two of the most exciting cars you can buy, tested on Irish tarmac and track, by two customers.

You could argue that the GT3 RS and AMG GT-R fill a similar niche for both Porsche and Mercedes – a hardcore, track-oriented versions of their best sportscar. In reality, the two cars are very different.

Sam and Tony test the two cars on bumpy moorland B-roads and on track at Mondello Park, and the comparisons – although not very scientific –  are enlightening.

Handling, power delivery, sound, launch control and straight-line speed are all put to the test. Which would you choose?
