AMG GT R main engine intercooler for cooling of the turbos is bang in the centre
To the sides are other intercoolers for different purposes on the GT R and these are not for air->air but air->coolant, and on this side specifically for the gearbox.
Most relevantly here, the coolant tank was empty.

Yup
“For optimum power output even when outside temperatures are high, Mercedes-AMG uses indirect air-to-water intercooling. With optimum flow of air and water, the intercoolers have a separate, two-stage low-temperature water circuit. The first cooler stage involves two parallel coolers in the left and right wheel arch. Together with the large radiator at the front of the vehicle as a second radiator stage, the system is even more effective than in the AMG GT S. The downstream water-cooled intercoolers ensure that the charge air compressed and heated by the turbochargers is cooled effectively prior to entering the combustion chambers. It therefore remains at a constantly low level even under full load.”

I can't believe I'm actually saying this but I just watched Archie Hamilton's latest video of him driving the Huracan in the mountains and it was brilliant. Shame there wasn't more videos in the dash cam style of him just threading through roads with the engine noise on top but it was very enjoyable.
OMG Look whats happening in Monaco!
The locals must be pretty peed off with this now.

Are they all wannabe YouTubers?
Maybe Paul and Sam made the right choice by going to LA

It popped up in my recommended, that is the type of video that most suits his talents, it could have had five minutes more driving with some good dash/nose camera footage and just the sound of the car and I'd have happily watched them.stratosgp4 said:

Posted about what happen in Monaco a page back. More videos are coming out showing the carnage and I watched stradman's video last night about the police impound lot. it looks they had to open a second lot because they were seizing so many cars. A couple of my friends also left Monaco so they wouldn't get their cars seized.
Absolute shame that idiots like POG promote BS behavior like this on social media for views and likes. Seriously how desperate are you for attention? I hope this idiot gets banned from Monaco because moving forward every exotic car owner is going to get harassed by the police.

e and his acolytes have taken the whole car-spotting/camera-phone thing to a whole new low. An achievement it must be said.Beefmeister said:
You seem to be forgetting the small thing called TIME. A lot of people don't have the time to drive 900 miles and the best part of 24hrs to get to Monaco avoiding motorways. Yes that drive is fun (I've done it myself) but adds a few days either end onto the trip.
My co-presenter Christian is out in Monaco with Archie, TGE, Dean and the rest of them this weekend and if you follow any of them on Instagram you'll see that they have spent the last few days doing massive road trips around the best driving roads the south of France has to offer. They have been using the cars as intended, a lot.
So honestly the arguments you have for them shipping the cars down and then cruising around Casino Square just aren't true. I think they've only taken them into the town centre once.
Is there any specific video worth watching? I'm driving down to Monaco this September and even though I do have a route planned, it would be interesting to find out any roads/passes that I've missed out on!

Archie’s vid is good, and there will be plenty more on the channels. Archie, TGE and BOTB will be putting out vids.

Until I read Mercedes/AMG, I had been imagining a Nissan every time someone mentioned GTR...!
I'll leave the YouTubers to it; I may not like their accents too much, and they don't seem to be too knowledgeable about how cars work (the mechanicals, lets call it), but they're making money doing something they (probably) enjoy - so they're doing better than I am.
