At the 2024 Pebble Beach Automotive Week, Mercedes-AMG introduced the exclusive AMG GT3 Edition 130Y Motorsport, a tribute to 130 years of racing history under the iconic three-pointed star. Limited to just 13 units worldwide, this special edition marks the final iteration of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 equipped with a naturally aspirated engine.

The AMG GT3 Edition 130Y Motorsport is powered by a Handcrafted AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine, producing an impressive 671 horsepower. Unlike its homologated counterparts, this model is unrestricted, allowing for enhanced performance and an optimized aerodynamic design. The Drag Reduction System (DRS), inspired by Formula 1™, enables the car to achieve top speeds over 196 mph.

The design of the Edition 130Y draws inspiration from Mercedes-Benz’s legendary race cars of the 1950s, blending classic elements with modern motorsport technology. The car’s exterior features a distinctive silver finish with blue accents, paying homage to the historic Silver Arrows. Inside, the interior is a nod to the 1955 Mercedes-Benz SLR 300, with luxurious materials and advanced motorsport features.
