Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3 racecar goes on sale
Quote from the article:
| It's not surprising, given how utterly fabulous the new machine looks, and the resurgence in relatively low cost GT racing. (Relatively in this case means a price tag just shy of the €335k mark for the car alone - exc. VAT!) Final output of the 6.2 litre V8 will be decided under the FIA's 'Balance of power' regulations, and the car will be fully homologated in February when deliveries will start. The transaxle gearbox and suspension are largely the same as in the road-going cars, so the wheels are located by forged aluminium double-wishbones front and rear. Adjustment facilities for the springs and shock absorbers, the suspension height, the stabilisers, the track width and camber allow an individual setup for the racetrack. Rack-and-pinion steering with a more direct ratio and servo assistance make for more agile handling, while behind the central-locking AMG 18-inch light-alloy wheels, a steel racing braking system with racing ABS ensures outstanding deceleration. An airjack system is integrated in the underbody to allow fast wheel changes. [/q Source: Mercedes Benz SLS AMG GT3 racecar goes on sale
