On the other hand, the engineers who designed the car were unrestricted by rules except for the ones they set for themselves during the development process.
Power comes from a 4.0-liter V8 engine that's twin-turbocharged to develop 707 horsepower, which is on par with the GT2's output, but a new feature called Push2Pass increases that number to 750 for short bursts of time. The engine spins the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transaxle whose gear ratios have been modified compared to the gearbox thattorque tube that connects the engine to the transaxle remains, and AMG also installed four-way-adjustable shock absorbers on both axles.

Racers will be able to count on a carbon safety cell attached to the chassis, a five-point harness, safety nets, a fire extinguisher, and a hatch integrated into the roof panel to keep them safe on the track. Visually, the Pro-specific changes include flat gray paint, a bright finish on the exterior carbon fiber trim pieces, new endplates on the massive rear wing, and two-tone 18-inch wheels. Inside, there's a"Push2Pass" button on the steering wheel and a specific center console. AMG offers several extra-cost options such as a passenger safety cell, a drinking system, a cooled seat, and a spare parts package.
