The AMG GT R is the quickest Safety Car in the sport's history so far, with the top-of-the-line model's 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine producing 585hp and powering it to a top speed of 318km/h (198mph). The AMG GT R is the 11th Official F1 Safety Car to have been provided by Mercedes-AMG and replaces the AMG GT S, which was first used in 2015.
Burdened with the duty to safely lead the F1 field around the track in bad weather or due to an incident, safety cars are usually high-performance machines. For the 2022 season, Mercedes-Benz will again share Official F1 Safety Car duties along with Aston Martin, fielding the AMG GT Black Series.
That's enough grunt to make the GT R officially the most powerful F1 safety car of all time. Zero-to-62 mph takes just 3.5 seconds before the German sports car tops out at 197 mph.

Likewise, the AMG GT 63 S that will be first on the scene of any accidents, as the medical car, threw a 7:27.80 that made it the fastest luxury car round the 'Ring a couple of years ago.
