Mercedes AMG GT3 for Geneva

Sketches preview the SLS GT3's replacement; let the road car speculation begin!



Mercedes' press release for the these AMG GT3 images is brief to the point of terse. 127 words in total, essentially telling us that there will be one and it will be shown to the world at Geneva.

Needs more wing. Obviously
Needs more wing. Obviously
But given the reputation of the SLS GT3, the mere announcement of a successor is worthy of a story. The SLS has been an incredibly successful GT3 racer since 2010, winning across the globe and captivating spectators with its fabulous V8 rumble. From what can be seen here it looks more of the same: ruddy great rear wing, big intakes and (hopefully) a side exit exhaust. Looks great.

AMG plans to further expand its customer racing programme with the GT3 and of course it ties in well with the road car's introduction. Which leads us to the prospect of an AMG GT Black Series...
