17.11.2016Spark liefert die Mercedes-AMG GT3 der Saison 2016 aus

With the Mercedes AMGGT3, the model car manufacturers have received a wonderful new theme because the successor of the SLSAMGT3 on the racetrack is used by numerous customer teams and thus finds its way into the showcases of the collectors in many different colors. Spark is now preparing the 2016 vintage in 1:43 scale and with the model cars of the AMG Team HTP motorsport and Haribot racing team AMG, they provide two beautiful miniatures of the series-fitted racing car. The vehicle was first presented to the public at the Geneva motor show in 2015 and delivered to the customer teams before the end of last year. In 2017 Riley motorsports will be a part of this circle of customers, which marks the start of the Mercedes of the AMG GT3 in the most important North American sport car series.

What is different from the street version?

The Mercedes AMG GT3 was developed for sprinting and long distance races according to the standard FIA GT3 regulations. It is constructed according to the regulations and light-weight construction, with a racing gear, break friendly braking system and aerodynamics. The car received 18" light alloy wheels with central locking, profound racing tires and a steel racing sport brake system with internal ventilated brake disk and racing AVS. The body has been aerodynamically modified, not only on the new front spoiler with splitter, the hood with central cooling air outlets, but also on the side wheel house ventilations, the side skirts with cooling channels for the rear axel brakes, the smooth under body with rear defuse and adjustable rear wing: making it better for down force and cooling.

Between the B and the C pillar are the fuel sockets for the fast tank system. spark has thoroughly looked at these details and implemented into the model. The processing is emasculate; park has been operating on a very high level for a long time and has matched the racing car perfectly. The miniatures made from resin plastic unfortunately do not allow the engine cover to open, so we can see nothing of the 6.2 liter V8 series naturally aspirating engine and its 404kw per 550 hp power. 650 newton meters of maximum torque are available at 4,800 rpm. All in all, the model cars have succeeded so that Spark thus recommends itself best for the downsizing the next years Mercedes AMG GT3, which starts In North America at the front as the car makers communicated on November 15, 2016.
