SME News UK. Affalterbach, Germany – Mercedes-AMG has officially unveiled its most powerful customer racing car to date, the Mercedes-AMG GT2 Edition W16, a limited-edition track-only vehicle that bridges the worlds of GT Racing and Formula 1®.

Power and Performance

The GT2 Edition W16 delivers an extraordinary 830 hp (610 kW) when the exclusive Push2Pass function is activated, making it the most powerful GT vehicle in Mercedes-AMG history. Powered by the AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine, the car also features advanced lightweight construction, weighing just 1,430 kg, and can reach speeds of more than 320 km/h thanks to its Drag Reduction System (DRS).

Motorsport-Inspired Technology

Equipped with racing innovations such as active louvres, a sequential six-speed racing transmission, fully adjustable motorsport suspension, and a carbon fibre torque tube, the GT2 Edition W16 offers an unparalleled driving experience designed exclusively for track performance.

Exclusive Design and Formula 1 Connection

The exterior styling is directly inspired by the Mercedes-AMG F1 W16 E PERFORMANCE, featuring a hand-painted star pattern and PETRONAS-green accents. Inside, matte carbon fibre and PETRONAS-coloured details dominate the cabin. Each car carries a “1 of 30” badge and a hand-signed door sill by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 driver Kimi Antonelli, who serves as the model’s patron.

Limited to 30 Units Worldwide

Only 30 examples of the Mercedes-AMG GT2 Edition W16 will be produced. Each will be handed over to its owner at an exclusive European racetrack event, including track sessions, a detailed vehicle briefing, and a meet-and-greet with senior members of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. Buyers will also receive personalized racing gear, including an AMG racing suit and helmet designed by OMP and BELL Helmets, the official suppliers of Mercedes-AMG Motorsport.
