If you could not wait for the Geneva Motor Show to commence to fully see the new Mercedes race car, then wait no more. The much-awaited Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car has finally been uncovered fully and it is exactly how we imagined the race car should be.
Designed to meet the FIA GT3 specifications, the GT3 version of the AMG GT sports a menacing carbon fiber wide body kit that includes modified bumpers, ventilated front fenders, revised side skirts and a new set of doors. it also gets a ventilated hood, given carbon fiber flics, a rear diffuser and a massive rear wing to give more downforce.
The interior has been given the race car treatment where the driver seats in a carbon fiber racing seat and kept safe by a steel roll cage. The AMG GT3 gets a new steering wheel, race-specific switchgear, some carbon fiber trim, and a digital instrument cluster.
Since this is the race version of the road-going AMG GT, we initially thought that Mercedes was going to retain the twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine in the race car’s engine bay. Apparently that is not the case as they are going to stuff the AMG GT3 with the earth-shattering naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine found on the SLS AMG GT3, sending all its power to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission.
