Mercedes-AMG GT3 Edition 55 Unveiled for AMG’s 55th Anniversary

The higher-functionality division of the 3-pointed star marque a short while ago unveiled the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Version 55 in commemoration of AMG’s 55th founding anniversary. The car will be hand-developed at the race automobile plant of the firm in Affalterbach, and will only be constrained to five units.

As opposed to the conventional AMG GT3, the Version 55 is not an FIA homologated car so its maker had no restrictions on its aerodynamics, bodyweight, and mechanicals. The exterior characteristics a new livery with AMG graphics and race stripes more than an alpine gray finish. It’s also highlighted by its broad software of carbon fiber components on the diffusers, rear wing, front grille, aspect skirts, flicks, and rear wing. Meanwhile, the inside retains the car’s signature racing style but with additional carbon trims and silver accents in excess of a matte anthracite metallic-dominated cabin. Of training course, there are “Edition 55 – 1 of 5” inscriptions here and there just to remind absolutely everyone of the exclusivity of each individual device.

The 6.3-liter V8 engine of the automobile drastically rewards from the absence of FIA limitations in its design way too. With that, the engineers of AMG were ready to squeeze out up to 650 hp or an further 100 hp from the initial numbers of the race automobile variant.

The selling price of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Edition 55 is set at €625,000 or all-around $620,000 in the latest exchange rates, excluding VAT. As a bonus, each individual buyer of the AMG GT3 Version 55 is dealt with to a special IWC timepiece with an engraving of the bought car’s respective chassis range.
