From the Green Hell Magno paint to the adaptive aerodynamics and Venturi-effect cooling systems, basically the only thing separating the GT R from an actual race car are the three extra seats surrounding the driver.

For the last few years, and longer for some, the world has been waiting for Mercedes-Benz to release a pickup truck.
