This is a simple conclusion for us, the AUTOart Mercedes-AMG GT R is a great-excellent scale model. If you can overlook their decision/miss on the AMG Green Hell Magno colour, the model still satisfies on many levels.  With more colour options in the near future, one can choose from other OEM colour palette offerings too.  As for composite over diecast meta debate, we find no obvious weakness in the composite design.  We dont think either model is particularly weak and neither is perfect.  In the end, if you have to choose between the two buy what you can find at the best possible price.  Enjoy the pics!
