The hood is very long and awkward when behind driver's seat. I wish I liked the design more. It just does not get the blood pumping. The green color is pretty cool looking though

Grand Tour Season 2 Episode 2. Clarkson reviewed it. Didn't love it.

Not in the GTR but been in the GT-S. Bonnet is indeed huge but I have driven S/CL/SL class before so I am familiar with it. I really really like the design and proportions actually (especially compared with the prior SLS AMG). Looks almost Vanquish/Vantage-like but better IMO, AMG designers did a great job. The interior is so damn nice and love their adjustable performance seats. That being said, it's not a 911 and that is what I enjoy most/puts a smile on my face. that intangible 911 feel, fit, and finish.

AMG GTR has no brake cooling at all ![EEK!](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Interesting at this price level of car!
Looked Misha's vlog yesterday.

Yes, but while the guy highlights this element, he does not say it actually causes a problem. And I can tell you that I have not experienced any issues in mine. Lots of cars don’t have direct brake cooling. I will find out for sure when I have my first serious track day with it early March.

Yeah but he hated it because it was too much of a track weapon. He thinks AMGs should be savage drift machines where you go sideways. The GTR is all about going around a track fast, not breaking the rear loose and sliding around.

At the end of the day it comes down to what you want. From a feel perspective it would be a tough choice. Both cars are amazing in their own way (which is why some of us here are blessed to have both cars or are getting both cars). Your gut will tell you what’s right for you. But putting aside any biases for a particular brand, even though the GTR and GT3 are in the same price category, you are getting more car with the GTR. It really is an incredible bargain for the price. You need to drive this thing to understand that. It really is that good.
My .02. And yes, the long hood can drive you nuts at low speeds
