It also comes with the backdrop of COVID19 and a 23 race season in 2021 which is the highest number of races in a season of F1. Since 2018, the Mercedes Benz AMG GT R has been the safety car for F1. It has a 4-litre V8 twin-turbo engine that produces 585 bhp and has a top speed of 318 kmph. It has been driven by Bernd Maylander since 2000.
Mercedes-AMG has presented a new livery for its GT R FIA Formula 1 safety car, which incorporates design elements that symbolize unity and the sport’s commitment for diversity and inclusion. The car will be seen at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix this weekend, with rainbow visuals and the ‘WeRaceAsOne’ hashtag that will be featured on all F1 cars and around the racetrack. The ‘Drive Safely’ lettering will continue to adorn the hood, reminding fans “to always drive in a careful and considerate way”. Watch Also: Is The New Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro Worth The Huge Premium It Commands? “When Formula 1 returns to racing this weekend in Austria, it will use this opportunity to thank people all over the world for their strength and resilience in the fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic”, Mercedes explained. “The sport will also show its unity in the fight against racism and its commitment to do more to address inequality in Formula 1.” The most powerful F1 safety car ever was presented two years ago and features the AMG Track Package with rollover protection system and high-performance brakes. Power comes from the twin-turbo V8 that pumps out 577 HP (585 PS / 430 kW) and 520 lb-ft (705 Nm) of torque, rocketing it to 62 mph (100 km/h) in seconds from a standstill (0-60 mph in sec) and up to a top speed of 198 mph (318 km/h). In addition to the GT R safety car, the official FIA F1 medical car, the AMG C63 S Estate, has embraced the new design that comprises of the rainbow flag and ‘WeRaceAsOne’ hashtag, and will head over to Austria this weekend too.

Home Sports Mercedes-AMG GT-R Official FIA F1 Safety Car The new design of the Formula 1 Safety Car symbolizes solidarity, safety and diversity It’s a familiar sight for fans of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship: when there’s been an accident on track or the weather conditions are bad, a Mercedes-AMG safely leads the field of F1 cars around the track. It’s been this way for 25 years. And for 20 years, Bernd Mayländer has been at the steering wheel of the Official FIA F1 Safety Car. Even the color scheme of the car with its silver paint and black décor has stayed the same. But for the 2020 season, things will change: the AMG GT R (combined fuel consumption l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 284-282 g/km)[1] with 430 kW (585 hp) will hit the race track in a new look starting July 2nd, 2020. The car will prominently support the Formula 1 campaign “WeRaceAsOne” by featuring its rainbow key visual on the flanks and on the bonnet of the car. The eye-catching design symbolizes the sports commitment for diversity and inclusion. When Formula 1 returns to racing this weekend in Austria, it will use this opportunity to thank people all over the world for their strength and resilience in the fight against the global COVID-19 pandemic. The sport will also show its unity in the fight against racism and its commitment to do more to address inequality in Formula 1. As a sign of this commitment, rainbow visuals and the hashtag #WeRaceAsOne will feature on all Formula 1 cars and around the race track. The rainbow was chosen as it has become a symbol that is used internationally to bring communities together. In addition to the “WeRaceAsOne” campaign, the call to “Drive Safely” will be visible on the bonnet the Official FIA F1 Safety Car, addressing fans at home who are watching the race on TV or via live stream and reminding them to always drive in a careful and considerate way. Bernd Mayländer’s ‘company car’ also uses the hashtag #PurposeDriven to promote the FIA’s (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) commitment to safety, sustainability, gender equality and diversity, and points out the FIA Action for Road Safety with mentions on the roof and tailgate of the car. From a technical perspective, however, the Official FIA F1 Safety Car remains unchanged: the front-mid engine concept with transaxle gearbox, the powerful V8 biturbo engine, the intricately designed chassis, the sophisticated active aerodynamics and the intelligent lightweight construction form the basis for a particularly dynamic driving experience. Optional features include the AMG Track Package with roll-over protection system and the ceramic high-performance composite brake system. The AMG GT R is perfectly qualified for this tough job at the pinnacle of motorsport. The FIA requirements for the Official FIA F1 Safety Car are high. It must be able to maintain a high minimum speed so that the tires and brakes of the Formula 1 cars do not lose too much temperature and the engines do not overheat. With a top speed of 318 km/h and seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h, this is an easy task for the AMG GT R. In addition to the Safety Car, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Estate (combined fuel consumption l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 229-214 g/km) [1] is ready for emergencies as the Official FIA F1 Medical Car of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. It will also sport the new design.

The Mercedes-AMG GT is a sports car produced in coupé and roadster bodystyles by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-AMG. The car was introduced on 9 September 2014 and was officially unveiled to the public in October 2014 at the Paris Motor Show.

Formula 1 racing has been known to have rather interesting cautions, so the FIA chose a new Safety Car for the 2018 season. In a press release this morning, Mercedes-AMG announced their AMG GT R has been season marks the 23rd consecutive year that Mercedes-AMG has provided the safety car. To set the pace during caution events, the new GT R is equipped with an LED strobe light bar. Instead of hacking into the gorgeous carbon fiber roof panel, a new roof was made to optimize aerodynamics around the lights. Formula 1 cars are engineered to run in a very unique set of circumstances, so the Safety Car must be fast enough to keep the brakes and tires from cooling off and to stay at a constant speed to prevent the engines from overheating. New Mercedes-AMG Hypercar-Inspired Boat Revealed The twin turbo V8 makes 585 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, and it can reach 62 mph in seconds. Charlie Whiting is the FIA’s F1 director, and he said: “When a Safety Car intervention is required during a Grand Prix it’s vitally important that we have full confidence in the car’s ability to lead the Formula 1 cars around the track safely. That means we need a car which is not only capable of dealing with the extreme demands a Grand Prix circuit puts on a vehicle travelling at high speed, but also one which is capable of setting a pace that allows the F1 drivers to keep tyres and brakes working at the right kind of temperature so that they do not struggle while waiting for racing to resume. With the latest versions of the FIA F1 Medical and Safety Cars, that confidence is once again assured.” Should an unfortunate injury happen, the Medical Car will be there in a hurry. It is a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Wagon. It has plenty of room for first responders along with storage for a defibrillator and respirator. Watch this year’s F1 races very closely and you might catch a glimpse of these lightning fast cars.

Mercedes-AMG GT R Reliability Rating Both the NHTSA and IIHS have yet to test one of the AMG variants, which makes complete sense when you consider the fact that only a handful of these cars make their way to America on a yearly basis, and with an asking price sitting comfortably above $150,000, it would be a crime against car-lovers everywhere if the GT R were to be smashed into a million tiny pieces. Despite the lack of official safety status, most owners won't ever question the ability of the Mercedes-AMG GT R to keep them safe in the event of an accident, especially considering the fact that most other Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Benz cars have consistently scored among some of the safest vehicles on the market. US NHTSA Crash Test Result NHTSA safety ratings are not available at this time. 2020 AMG GT R Key Safety Features From its structure, all the way through to its driver assistance features, the AMG GT R has been designed to keep its occupants safe, even during high-speed collisions. It all starts with the GT R's aluminum space frame, which is super rigid and is braced with select carbon fiber pieces to ensure structural rigidity. The exterior also features newly designed LED headlights and taillights with adaptive high-beam assist.
