CAR GARAGE | Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary (2013) | The exclusive collector's item is also a synonym for the successful AMG Customer Sports Programme: With currently 32 victories in the 2012 Motor Sports Season and the winning of three driver and team titles in the FIA GT3 European Championship, the ADAC GT Masters and the FIA GT1 World Championship, the race edition of the gullwing car of Mercedes-AMG is an impressive success story as well. A number of exterior and interior modifications have been carried out for the special SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary model. The body of the SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary gleams auspiciously in the new designo magno graphite matt paint finish, for example.
The AMG light-alloy wheels in designo magno graphite complement the body's matt paintwork to perfection. The interior of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary evokes a functional racing car atmosphere, refined by high-quality, exclusive details: the steel roll-over cage is finished in matt "designo magno graphite" to match the exterior. The racing car's dashboard and centre console sport a matt carbon-fibre finish. The standard appointments for the SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary are rounded off by a high-quality AMG indoor car cover with "45 Years of Driving Performance" logo.
Handover of the SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary takes place directly at Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach, where customers are also granted exclusive insights into the AMG world and have an opportunity to sample AMG's hallmark excellent service and support quality. In the case of this special GT3 racing car, this instruction is provided personally by AMG brand ambassador Bernd Schneider. On request, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 45th Anniversary customer can enjoy a race track coaching session as part of an initiation event with the vehicle.
48 year-old racing driver Bernd Schneider is assisting the responsible AMG engine fitter in installing the naturally aspirated AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine. The special AMG engine badge bearing the signatures of Bernd Schneider and the responsible engine fitter attest to this high-calibre duo's handiwork.
