Mercedes-Benz takes to the track with its fast and fabulous new supercar.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG<\/a> is so fast it\u2019d really be a shame if the company didn\u2019t race it. Apparently Mercedes agrees and has developed a go-faster version of its already iconic gullwing supercar that is ready for homologation for the FIA\u2019s GT3 class.<\/p>\n

The SLS AMG GT3 made its auto-show debut in New York<\/a>, wearing a sexy matte-white paint job with what appeared to be a 10-foot-wide carbon-fiber rear wing\u2014plus some orange stripes, just for fun. A smooth underbody tray leads to a carbon-fiber diffuser in the rear, and the car also gets a full skirt of carbon-fiber lower aero add-ons. The GT3 features a two-inch-wider body (still rendered in aluminum) that does not resort to tacked-on fender extensions to cover the wider racing rubber. The wheels are 18-inch, center-locking units per homologation regulations, and thus don\u2019t allow room for the standard car\u2019s optional carbon-ceramic discs; in their place are composite brakes with cast-iron discs and aluminum hats. The side and rear glass is swapped for lighter polycarbonate, and the windshield can be as well if the customer chooses. Quick-refueling ports are found on both B-pillars to make the car compatible with a variety of different racing venues, and a full cage is fitted to the stripped cabin.<\/p>\n
