RaceRoom – Mercedes AMG GT3 Coming Next Week

Two days ago, Sector3 Studios confirmed the Callaway Corvette C7 GT3-R as part of next weeks RaceRoom update. Yesterday they added the Audi R8 LMS GT3 to the GT3 car release list, and today they confirmed the third new car to be added to the RaceRoom GT3 class in the form of the Mercedes AMG GT3.

As with the previously announced cars, Sector3 Studios published a nice teaser video showcasing the Mercedes AMG GT3 in action at the German Nordschleife circuit.

German manufacturer Mercedes Benz presented their latest Customer GT3 weapon at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. This FIA GT3 compliant Mercedes AMG GT3 features a lightweight aluminum space frame and aluminum bodywork further supported by a selection of carbon fiber parts such as the regulation bucket seats, air intakes, aerofoil rear wing, and diffuser.

Rather than re-engineering the AMG GT’s 4.0-litre Biturbo V8 engine, Mercedes -AMG decided to power the GT3 with the same and 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 that also served in the previous AMG GT3 SLS model.
