AUTOFLUENCE duPont REGISTRY™ CARS AND COFFEE: JUNE 2016
F
or most of us, Cars & Coffee in June is cause for celebration. Only three days before the Summer
Solstice, we arrived at 5 AM to take advantage of the extra sunlight. In typical summer fashion, humidity was at 100% thanks to a cool front the night before. This made for brief but torrential rain around the bay area. That didn’t stop our fans. Both of our lots were packed with attendees occupying our neighbors at Bic Graphic.

his RENNtech R1 equipped AMG GT S, owned by Paul Wallace of Supercars of London, has truly unleashed the
Red Beast. The 4.0L V8 BiTurbo now produces 625HP and 601 LB-FT of torque, overpowering Mercedes-AMG’s newest addition to the GT lineup, the AMG GT R. The RENNtech Downpipes ensure that everyone knows an angry supercar is lurking nearby before it can even be spotted. After unleashing its newfound power during a mandatory lap on the Nordschleife, the Red Beast now deserves the title ‘Tested in the Green Hell’.

traight out of the green hell of the jungle comes the new Mercedes-AMG GT R, fully equipped with AMG driver,
Lewis Hamilton, swerving and skidding through the Nurburgring racetrack, which portrays an Amazonian-esque setting. If the luxury brand’s goal was to grab attention and thrill and audience, they succeeded. Revealed recently, the new MercedesAMG GT R, brings the most demanding features of a track-ready supercar to the streets.
