Unveiled in 2015, the Mercedes-AMG GT3 succeeds the SLS to become the reference for Customer Racing.

The strategic benefits: This proven engine guarantees absolute reliability, low operating costs for private teams, immediate throttle response, and a remarkable sound identity. Deliveries begin as early as the end of 2015, paving the way for massive commitment starting from the 2016 season. Supremacy in GT3. The AMG GT3 quickly becomes the benchmark in its category.
