“Transformers: The Last Knight” to Feature Mercedes-AMG GT R as Drift
With its big fenders and crazy aerodynamics, the ultra-hard-core Mercedes-AMG GT R is one of most cartoonish looking cars we’ve ever seen. That makes it perfect to appear in a movie. Apparently director Michael Bay agrees, too, since he’s just announced that a GT R will play (?) the role of Drift, previously portrayed by a Bugatti Veyron, in the fifth installment of the rebooted series, . After showing off the new Bumblebee Camaro and the evil Barricade Mustang last month, Bay tweeted out the new GT R earlier this week. The movies are defined by the star cars. Those roles, in the recent movies, have been filled by American muscle cars, so it’s cool to see one of Europe’s finest join the mix for .
We’ll have to wait until next June to see how the GT R fares in robot warfare, but in the real world, it’s the real deal. It’s got 577 horsepower from a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8, active aerodynamics, and four-wheel steering to help it dominate all racetracks—all capabilities the Autobots are sure to take advantage of.
