Mercedes-AMG Reveals GT2 Edition W16, Its Most Powerful Customer Track Car

Limited to 30 units from €679,000, the non‑homologated special targets collectors with an upgraded twin‑turbo V8, F1‑style aero, and VIP delivery at a European racetrack.

Overview

  • The GT2 Edition W16 is a further development of the GT2 customer racer and is capped at 30 examples priced from €679,000 (about $790,435).
  • An upgraded 4.0‑liter twin‑turbo V8 produces up to 818 hp and 737 lb‑ft, with a Push2Pass feature that temporarily adds 98 hp and extra torque.
  • F1‑inspired aerodynamics include DRS, active louvres, a larger front splitter, and a carbon rear lip, supporting a top speed exceeding 199 mph.
  • Track‑focused hardware features a six‑speed sequential transaxle linked by a carbon torque tube, adjustable dampers and stabilizers, magnesium wheels, and high‑performance brakes.
  • As a non‑homologated, track‑only model, it bypasses racing restrictions, and buyers receive a racetrack handover with briefings, track time, F1 team meet‑and‑greets, and Kimi Antonelli’s signature on the door sills.
