New special paint finish can be seen for the first time
The striking special paint finish, worn by an AMG car for the first time, already signals the special status enjoyed by the Edition 50 in AMG model history. The likewise new “real black” colour forms an authentic motorsport contrast. Among other places, this matt black is found on the “50 YEARS AMG” emblem on the bonnet.
A further eye-catching feature is the distinctive silver-framed logo “50 YEARS OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE” in finely-grained carbon-fibre on the doors of the GT3 racing car:
The super-light and strong motorsport material carbon fibre is also used for the front diffuser, the rear diffuser, the rear aerofoil including end plates, the flics at the front, the air intakes, the radiator grille and the side skirts, each painted in a matt finish. The disc band and rear aerofoil bear the AMG logo.
Furthermore, the open Performance exhaust system provides an acoustic USP and the elimination of the restrictor ensures optimised performance.
Racing interior exclusively appointed
The functional racing car atmosphere dominates in the interior of the AMG GT3 Edition 50. It is complemented with high-quality, exclusive details: The roll cage as well as the visible floor assembly are painted in the special colour “real black”. Dashboard, sills, door panels, vent pipe and centre console are styled in matt black carbon fibre. Effective contrasts are formed by silver-coloured six-point seat belts and the racing steering wheel spider in silver. The collector’s item also has a seat shell in a high-strength carbon-fibre safety cell on the front-passenger side. The seat belts also bear the distinctive “50 YEARS OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE“ logo with silver surround. Further fine details include the AMG logos in the doors and sill, plus the “Edition 50 -1 of 5” badge
Additional extras include a car cover sporting the “50 YEARS OF DRIVING PERFORMANCE” emblem and a very exclusive birthday highlight from AMG partner IWC Schaffhausen: Each of the five vehicles is delivered to its customer with an Ingenieur Chronograph Sport Edition “50th Anniversary of Mercedes?AMG” watch from IWC Schaffhausen, customised in the style of the vehicle.
