In celebration of 130 years of motorsport excellence, Mercedes-AMG has unveiled the exclusive GT3 Edition 130Y Motorsport, paying tribute to its rich racing heritage. This limited-edition collector’s car made its debut at the prestigious Pebble Beach Automotive Week, boasting cutting-edge performance and a design that echoes the legendary racing machines of the 1950s.
Unparalleled Power & Performance
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 Edition 130Y is equipped with a 6.3-litre V8 naturally aspirated engine, delivering an impressive 680 hp (500 kW) and a top speed exceeding 315 km/h. This makes it the most powerful GT3 car ever produced by AMG. Without the restrictions of homologation, this racing machine benefits from a specially developed exhaust system and improved aerodynamics, including a Drag Reduction System (DRS) inspired by Formula 1.
Aerodynamic Advancements
The aerodynamic overhaul gives the GT3 Edition 130Y 15% more downforce compared to the standard GT3. Key updates include a redesigned front splitter, air outlets in the wings, and an enlarged rear wing, ensuring optimal performance at high speeds. The lightweight carbon brake system further enhances agility and handling, making it track-ready and more efficient than its predecessors.
Iconic Design
Drawing inspiration from the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL W 194 of 1952, the GT3 Edition 130Y showcases traditional design features with a modern twist. The exclusive silver paint, blue accents, and a striking AMG crest on the roof evoke the spirit of the legendary Silver Arrows. Inside, the tribute continues with vintage touches like brown leather accents and blue checkered fabric, nodding to the historic Mercedes-Benz SLR 300 models.
Limited to 13 Units
The GT3 Edition 130Y Motorsport is a rare masterpiece, with only 13 units available worldwide. Each vehicle comes with a personalized racing kit, a 1:8 scale model, and a certificate of authenticity, making it the ultimate collector’s item for motorsport enthusiasts.
