2011 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3

Mercedes SLS AMG GT3

While everyone is still waiting for the SLS AMG roadster version, Mercedes decided to surprise us with a GT3 version - racing version of the gullwing model. The sports car will compete in the 2011 racing season.
The SLS AMG GT3 features a new new front apron with a splitter, the bonnet with central cooling air vent, wider front and rear wings, sideskirts with cooling ducts for the rear brakes, a rear diffuser and the adjustable rear aerofoil.
The race car will be powered by the same 6,3 liter V8 engine, but tuned to deliver an impressive +600 hp (up from a standard 571 hp).
Also on the interior AMG will drop all luxury such as air conditioning, navigation and upholstery. Instead the car will get a steel rollover cage, racing buucket seat with a six-point seat belt and HANS system.
