Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 Race Car Version First Photos Leaked [UPDATE]

very nice , but the real action is in GT2.

not bad but the wing.. :/

what an ugly wing & that's the worse bodykit ever, I know others will comment on this, but looking at that cockpit, it looks cramped up. They could have at least change the front & the rear bumper with bigger air vents.

now dats a racer, jst remove that wing!

Would love to see this run against an R8 GT3 car! How much weight does it lose? That's the most important part by far...

[UPDATE] Press release and 16 high-res photos added to article.

Its funny if you think about it. BMW just announced the Z4 GT3, so this Mercedes super car is going up against the Z4 roadster. It defiantly should have been a GT2.

way sick maybe they made it for GT2 b/c there is less competition which = more wins

I think it needs a bigger rear wing... lol

Nothing wrong with the wing for a track car like that. You have to remember that down-force is maximized by the height of the wing, which it is. Perfectly lined up with the roof-line. I was never a fan of the SLS AMG road car, but this track version in white looks awesome.

new definition to "Gull Wing"?

Well, you know what they say about cars with big spoilers...

you F.cks!! this is a f...ng RACE CAR bi..ez!! not a f...ng SHOW CAR you stupid assez! leave the f..ng wing the way it is

Not to mention that the rear in white looks just like the bmw z4!lool

it doesn't look like a supercar now, more like a coupe

GT2 may appear to be a more natural home for a racing version of the SLS, GT3 is it's real home. There are many more series around the world that utilise GT3 rules than there are GT2 rules. So they have a bigger market to get the car into and winning races in. MB are in the business of selling cars. Having their cars winning series all over the world is a pretty good way to aid your marketing. Not to mention selling the actual units used for racing. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a GT1 or GT2 version of the SLS in the future. Similar to the way Corvette's, DB9's, 911 GT3's, F430's, and Ford GT's all run in more than one class. At the latest we'll see what happens when the McLaren MP4-12C's end up in sports car racing, although I believe MB is anticipating the McLaren ending up in GT3 primarily. GT1 is where the real action is in GT racing right now. It will be an amazing series this year.

Thanks migass for putting certain people to rest... ;) my RUF-997 has a track wing, and it is not as gynormous as the UN-proportionate crap above... And for those who have never owned or seen a track car.... Just leave it to beaver!!! lol
