Automobile charm associated with a design spectacular car racing – which is the new AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS GT3. AMG racing version of the SLS has been designed as a sports car customers to participate in the racing series in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations. Lightweight closely and chassis, brakes and aerodynamics to provide uncompromising dynamics. Special Supplement SLS Mercedes-Benz AMG will make his Tour debut in 2011.
A simple design and form the heart of Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS was actually said by modifications on the hull. New components, mainly carbon fiber offers a slight indication of an exceptional performance and wide track racing aerodynamic development.

From the front, GT3 racing car to offer a new front skirt with air intakes were enlarged. Width of opening under the grille on the characteristics of large Mercedes star and the horizontal fins wing-shaped air supply of engine oil cooler and brake disc. The same function is served by two intakes below the bi-xenon headlights vertically. Downforce on the front axle is provided courtesy of cops mounted on the four exterior sides, front splitter and carbon, he went straight to the smooth underbody panels, which connects to the rear diffuser.
This hood has a central opening for the extraction of heat from the engine, while the side of the front fender openings to facilitate the flow of air through the wheel well. weight optimization steps, including the use of polycarbonate is very lightweight for the side windows and rear and, if desired, in the windshield as well.

Fender has been expanded to accommodate the front and rear tires big race. 78.3 inches wide, GT3 hull is 2 inches wider than the two production series AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS. This new feature sills of openings to cool the rear brakes, with the smooth underbody seen along the lower threshold. The houses of B-pillar of the adapter of the fuel tank standard for quick refueling system. 31.7 gallons fuel tank located in the center behind the driver.
Wide rear spoiler carbon
SLS GT3 rear view Mercedes-Benz AMG is dominated by the impressive scale. Above spoiler carbon fiber rear door is a large but widely adapted and easy setup perfectly match the individual characteristics of race track. welcomes two new rear valance openings for extracting air from the rear wheel arches. Another visual highlight is a carbon fiber rear diffuser, it went smoothly in the region of the rear axle in the wake of the smooth underbody, its support for the addition. Overall aerodynamics GT3, Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS analyzed and characterized by extensive wind tunnel testing and race track.
Black exhaust end attractive offer and at the same time, the noise characteristic AMG eight-cylinder. Rain lights integrated into the rules behind the wedge – it must be activated by the driver in inclement weather.
Near the mass production of V8 AMG 6.3-liter
As defined in the regulations of the FIA GT3, with a 6.3 liter AMG V8 engine is almost identical to the mass production of vehicles. Thank you with low weight, the rate of acceleration for – GT3 3.7 seconds to sprint 0-60 mph – well below the number that is good for vehicles. According to the gear ratio, top speed over 186 mph.
The V8 AMG 6.3-liter uses a dry lubricant in racing vehicles. The use of suction and pressure pump, and an external oil tank means that conventional oil can not be eliminated. This technology ensures reliable lubrication of the engine high lateral acceleration of the type usually experienced on a racetrack.
dry lubrication, even too weak to facilitate the mounting position of the V8 engine – an interesting touch technology AMG Mercedes-Benz SLS. The solution – install the eight-cylinder engine as low as possible and before the front axle in the middle of the back, combined with the provision transaxle transmission – to produce excellent weight distribution.
Six-speed sequential shift race
Contrary to standard vehicles, Mercedes-Benz AMG is equipped with SLS GT3 race six-speed transmission with sequential shift. Thank you for building a compact transmission offers race tested benefits – well, GT3 version has a ground clearance under vehicles. Drivers shifter with two paddles mounted on the steering wheel. transmission is mounted directly on the rear wheel and connected to the V8 engine through a torque tube, which has a high degree of bending and torsional stiffness. This offers significant advantages when it comes to dynamics, this advanced solution that allows the shaft as a whole must be organized with the game is much cheaper. In addition to traction control differential lock, a multi-platform integrated into the transmission of acceleration offers great features. Inside the torque tube, a drive shaft rotates at the speed of the engine. As in the serial production models, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class DTM touring car, carbon fiber handle.
With a long wheelbase, the low center of gravity and track width, vehicle SLS AMG concept was for a race track – including features, turn right, power, agility classes inertia, low under abrupt changes of direction and high cornering limits.
It only requires a small modification to the perfect race track performance. Lightweight aluminum chassis with double wishbone suspension at all four corners have been modified kinematics into account the minimum height of the vehicle. An array of customization options to facilitate the optimal modified according to individual characteristics and race track weather conditions. And the ability to vary the spring and damper setup, it is also the freedom to adjust the camber and tracking, vehicle up and the stabilizer to the front and rear axles.
As mass production SLS AMG, this version of the GT3 is equipped with racks and hang with the aid of power vs. speed. The ratio of input more directly facilitate greater flexibility in processing track.
Race AMG braking system that uses composite technology
the shortest stopping distances, better stability and optimal control is guaranteed by the race AMG braking system. All around disc brakes according to the technology of motor sport to the composite test. Grey cast iron disc axial and radial float attached to an aluminum cap stainless through a composite element. This sophisticated technology enables a perfect heat dissipation and stability so that they can trust. Mercedes-Benz AMG GT3 SLS also has a cooling channel is calculated exactly – skirt openings in the front and rear wheels before the cold air flow directly on the disc brakes. The four brake discs are vented, slotted and drilled. Six-pot fixed calipers on the front axle and four-pot fixed calipers on the rear, finished in anthracite with the AMG logo and white, gives much space for the brake pads. Antilock braking system with a provision of the special race track fitted as standard. Due to space constraints, the AMG high performance braking system of ceramic composite is available as an option on production vehicles, not compatible with 18-inch wheels are determined by the FIA regulations.
The central locking wheels AMG alloy wheels – 12×18 inches 13×18 inches front and rear – are equipped with racing tires in the format of 11.3 x 26.9 inches (front) and 12.4 x 27.9 inches (rear). Depending on the application, the slicks are available free profile, intermediate or rain tires. Classic design support multi-ventilatory spoke of the braking system. Quick pit and change the wheel is assured by the elevator system is integrated into the base of the tires. Four pneumatic rams to improve GT3 race car about 7.5 inches, allowing the pit crew to change a tire running in overdrive.
Interior with racing seats and racing steering wheel
When the doors open gull-wing Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS GT3 functional interior with a clear vision of race car feel. Motorists sit in racing bucket seats with six points and systems using Hans (Head and neck support) that secures the helmet in place in case of accidents, thus minimizing the risk of injury. additional safety cage is steel, which is also used aluminum chassis more rigid.
A flywheel with a diameter of 13 inches to facilitate the appropriate vehicle control. Because the top opening, the driver always has a perfect view of the center of the screen, providing all relevant information such as vehicle speed, engine speed, operating temperatures, lap and choice of equipment. Wheel is equipped with quick-release mechanism that allows to enter and exit the vehicle much easier. Will be active in the hub of the wheel allows the driver to activate additional functions such as a pit radio, high beam and the supply of beverages. additional control elements are mounted on the center console and includes start / stop function for the AMG V8 engine, traction control, reverse and – if – the integrated fire extinguisher. Controls to adjust the brake balance is within the torque tube tunnel.
close relationship between GT3 and mass production brothers are represented by the instrument cluster, with a wing profile provides a strong tight visual field. Integrated in the dashboard is a very typical air vent galvanized in the Silver Shadow and the cross-shaped with an adjustable nozzle – they are suggestive of jet engines.
Sending vehicles from customers in early 2011
New Mercedes AMG GT3 SLS has been prepared in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations and the right to attend all races GT3 – including 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps popular in Belgium and the Nurburgring in Germany. Interested customers can order the vehicle from the fall of 2010, with delivery scheduled before the start of 2011 racing season. Approval will be completed in March 2011.
