The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is a road racer that looks like the kind of vehicle that takes no mercy on others it shares the road with, which is just as well given that this aggressive-looking beast is set to compete in the FIA GT3 championship.
This lean, mean racing machine has a very low center of gravity, while its weight distribution and wide track width make it perfectly built for the race track. These properties work together to help the driver corner the vehicle precisely, accelerate speedily through turns, maintain high levels of traction and minimize inertia while changing direction.
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is powered by an AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine, and is equipped with a six-speed transaxle-mounted sequential racing gearbox -- which further streamlines weight distribution.
This is a vehicle clearly built for the racing track in mind, and its competitors at the GT3 championship better watch out!
