The customer sport racing car complies with FIA GT3 race regulations and will be participating in the championship from 2016. The customer sport racing programme started with the Mercedes AMG SLS GT3 back in 2010. The phenomenal racetrack performance of the AMG GT helps the car become an ideal starting point for the AMG GT3, a race car out of a road legal speed machine!
