Continuing development tests for the AMG Mercedes SLS GT3 that will debut this year on the track in the FIA GT3 series and several national championships. The preparation of the SLS GT3, which started in mid 2010 and continued in the season finale, with participation in some races laboratory test specimens, has continued in recent weeks with the start of the preparation of 31 specimens from 16 international teams booked.
The SLS AMG GT3, in fact, is done in-house by the same AMG and HWA and delivered, turn-key "to the teams who have bought at a price of about € 400 000: how to say, twice the SLS series. In these days of play testing at Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, Provence, where the Mercedes engineers are developing the aerodynamic setup and trim.
If the SLS AMG is bad, in GT3 configuration becomes angry. All this without throwing out the project home. Specimens in recent weeks, are put on the road (or track ...) are prepared in accordance with FIA GT3 regulations. Gullwing maintained in the asset list (the long flat hood with large front air intake, the gull-wing doors), preparation involved the optimization of mechanical and aerodynamic set even more efficient.
In turn, the latter is advanced compared to specimens seen in some laboratory tests carried out in the final races of last season. The attention of racing took place with the help of the wind tunnel, on the adoption of striking aerodynamic (front splitter, rear spoiler, side skirts) and moldings wider wheel arches to make way for 18 "to monodado central.
Regard the preparation of the motor - done, as in the changes to the car body and staging the car, the AMG and HWA, an association of the most successful with a track record that includes over 12 titles, DTM, ITC and FIA GT - the mechanics incorporates the powerful 6.3-liter V8 and 571 hp in the SLS AMG: The unit was further developed by the factory Affalterbach, who set the track develops around 600 hp.
Depending on the circuit, a range of different acts on the final reports values of acceleration and top speed (not reported, but the order of 300 km / h, in line with the uses of the GT3 series). Lubrication, allegedly racing, it is dry (which is necessary to avoid sudden and dangerous lack of oil in the corners and a few mm to lower the position of the engine), the exchange rate, mounted at the rear, is a sequential six-speed, and referrals to paddles on the steering wheel.
The attitude is, overall, similar to the one found in the standard version, with the ability to vary the load of the shock absorbers, roadways and the angle of camber depending on the circuit. The 31 copies of the SLS AMG GT3 booked will be delivered to 16 teams to take part in the FIA GT3 and many national series: Black Falcon, G-Private Racing, Heico Motorsport Mamerow Racing, Race & Event GmbH, Rowe Racing (Germany) ; Eurotech Racing, Preci - Spark (UK); Graff Racing (France); Viag KRK Racing (Belgium) Sports & You (Portugal); Charouz Gravity Racing (Czech Republic); Syntium Team Petronas (Malaysia); Vodka O Racing (Australia).
Among the leading riders who will line up behind the wheel of the GT3 SLS AMG, Olivier Panis, Jarek Janis, Anthony Kumpen, Kenneth Heyer, Lance - David Arnold. 14 will also GT3 championships and appointments "blocks" of greater prestige that copies of the SLS will be engaged in preparation: FIA GT3 European Championship, GT3 Endurance Series, ADAC GT Masters Nürburgring VLN Endurance Championship, 24 Hours Nurburgring (Germany), 24 Hours of Spa - Francorchamps (Belgium); Masters British GT, Britcar GT Championship (Great Britain) FFSA GT Series (France); Belca (Belgium), the GT series in Spain and Portugal, Czech Endurance Championship (Czech Republic), Australian GT Championship.
