2011 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 Race Car Montage Review

The 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 race car was one of the most eagerly awaited unveilings at the New York Auto Show and the race car broke cover at the event to a lot of fanfare.

The 2011 Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 is all about more carbon fiber usage and larger air-intakes. It also features a new front valance with a huge carbon splitter and there are flicks installed at the front of each wheel to reduce down-force.

The race car will be powered by the same 6.3-liter V8 engine, but has been tuned to deliver an impressive +600 hp, a pretty significant spike from the road-going version of the SLS AMG which comes with a "standard" 571 hp.

the SLS AMG GT3 is designed as a racing sports car for customers competing in sprints and long-distance races. These race series for near-series GT cars are noted for their very varied participants and great excitement.

Other features on the car include an AMG race brake system comprised of ventilated discs, six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.

Delivery of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 will start at the beginning of 2011, with the order process starting up later this year. You can find out more about the car in the press release below.
