Time Attack Mercedes-AMG GT R Renderings Imagine a Sinister Racer

Time Attack Mercedes-AMG GT R

Mercedes AMG GT R is already an aggressive-looking machine, but these renderings take it to an entirely new level.

Most would agree that there’s just something about race cars that gets our blood boiling. But it isn’t just the sounds they make or the extreme, physics-bending performance that we find irresistible, it’s also the way race cars look. Just take a look at these time attack Mercedes-AMG GT R renderings from digital artist Sean Demetros, and you’ll see what we mean – the widebody, giant winged look suits this already impressive machine perfectly, making it a truly sinister-looking ride that deserves to come to life.

Instagram renderings are all about shock value, for obvious reasons. Artists need to create not only cool depictions of vehicles but truly stunning or controversial ones in order to stand out from an increasingly large crowd. Demetros certainly pulled that off here, creating a time attack-inspired Mercedes-AMG GT R that’s so audacious, we couldn’t help but stop scrolling. It’s just that wild, and there’s a lot to take in here.

For starters, we have the comically large front lip/wing, which is equal parts insane looking and functional. In the world of time attack, it’s all about generating as much downforce as possible to make a car stick in the corners, and this front lip could easily double as a nice bookshelf for your collection. It’s complemented by one of the biggest rear wings you’ll ever see (which is really saying something in today’s world), along with an equally large rear diffuser and super-wide bodywork.

Demetros notes that this is his very first attempt at creating a widebody kit on his own, from scratch, and we think it turned out pretty awesome, as does he. The fact that everything on the car is also bathed in matte black helps, as it lends this car a truly sinister appearance that no one would want to see in their rear-view mirror at the track. It’s a combination that simply fits the car’s already aggressive lines perfectly, and we have to tip our proverbial caps to Demetros for his fine work here.
