The Mercedes-AMG GT2 is the most powerful customer race car ever to come from the marque and will rival the Audi R8 LMS
Powered by the familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 used in the GT4 and other AMG production cars, the GT2’s engine is tuned to deliver 697bhp and 590lb ft to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox.
Elsewhere, it features a mechanical locking differential with configurable shock absorbers, adjustable anti-roll bars, ventilated six-piston brake callipers at the front and multi-adjustable anti-lock braking. The result is a car that weighs less than 1400kg with air conditioning, meaning it's slightly heavier than but still competitive with the 1350kgThe aim, said Mercedes, was to ensure that “gentlemen drivers who don’t race every weekend can control this enormous power in a commanding and safe way all the time”.
Aerodynamics also have a significant part to play in ensuring reliable handling to allow amateurs to build confidence on the track. As such, the swan-neck rear wing has a wide angle of adjustability and there are sizeable new vents integrated into the front wings to increase airflow.
