The pictures show a heavily camouflaged bolide reminiscent of test runs on Bilster Berg. In the press statement, Mercedes talks about \u2018first fahrdynamic challenges\u2019 and calls the vehicle a concept, not the final racing vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the test vehicle wears parts similar to the future model, but at the same time still shows many elements of the current GT3 model. This suits a so-called mule car: a test vehicle that combines new components with familiar ones.<\/p>\n<h2>Engineering, mule-car and looks<\/h2>\n<p>According to sources within Mercedes-AMG, Affalterbach Racing GmbH is working on the successor to the Mercedes-AMG GT3. That project began after HWA would no longer handle construction and development. A V8 turbo engine and an all-carbon monocoque are assumed for the new car.<\/p>\n<p>An insider described the test vehicle as a \u201cFrankenstein car\u201d - not as a swear word, but as a technical description: mix of old and new. The roof, windows and wing mirrors, for instance, look a lot like the current model, but the nose section differs markedly. The grille is a lot smaller and the front splitter has a different structure. The bonnet now shows an air intake where previously there was an exhaust vent; this indicates air supply to an upper turbocharger.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes itself stresses that the concept focuses on maximum driving dynamics, intelligent lightweighting and optimised weight balance. The manufacturer also mentions \u201aAMG-typical V8 antenna technology\u2019 and a complex aerodynamic design.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Development by: Affalterbach Racing GmbH<\/li>\n<li>Powered by: V8 turbo engine (AMG)<\/li>\n<li>Chassis: full carbon monocoque<\/li>\n<li>Test runs: visible on circuits such as Bilster Berg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Planning and statements of leadership<\/h2>\n<p>Mercedes-amg says it sees 2026 as a pure development year. A 2027 delivery to customer teams is considered ambitious; 2028 sounds more realistic. Thomas J\u00e4ger, responsible for DTM activities at Mercedes-AMG, says that this is a concept and that Mercedes will reveal when the time comes: \u00abUntil then, we will keep the excitement going.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Michael Schiebe, who will soon switch to Mercedes-Benz AG as board member for production, quality and supply-chain, praised the team and said of the concept: \u00abThe future is going to be extreme.\u00bb Mercedes stressed that the tests are intended to validate systems and complex components under harsh conditions, without revealing further details.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, the released photos show a clear move towards a new GT3 car, but for now it remains a prototype with both existing and new parts. Don't expect final specifications yet until Mercedes fully reveals its plans.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do the test photos show?
