Introducing the Mercedes-AMG GT4: A Track-Ready Beast.
Florida, USA - A thrilling opportunity awaits racing enthusiasts as an exceptional 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT4, a track-only customer racing car, is being offered for auction in Florida. This impressive machine, based on the powerful Mercedes-AMG GT R Coupe road car, is a race-ready marvel that combines exceptional performance, aerodynamic design, and advanced racing technology.
Unveiled at the prestigious 2017 24 Hours of Spa, the Mercedes-AMG GT4 is specifically designed for customer racing. Underneath its sleek and purposeful silver exterior, this GT4 is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers awe-inspiring power. The engine is mated to an AMG 6-speed racing gearbox, ensuring lightning-fast shifts and optimal performance on the track.
The aerodynamic bodywork of the GT4 is derived from the Mercedes-AMG GT R and has undergone meticulous wind tunnel development to maximize downforce and minimize drag. The front section features a distinctive slanted grille and a front bumper made of natural fiber-reinforced material, while the wide front splitter, lateral flics, and gurney flap on the bonnet enhance its aerodynamic efficiency. The large adjustable rear wing further optimizes downforce, ensuring superb stability and grip.
Inside the lightweight and ergonomic racing cockpit, two carbon fiber seats are mounted directly to the aluminum space frame, surrounded by a robust steel roll cage. The driver benefits from a Digital Display Unit instrument panel, a quick-release racing steering wheel with shift paddles, adjustable racing pedals, and even air conditioning for optimal comfort during intense races. Safety features include a carbon fiber driver safety cell, integrated headrests, and a high-performance fire suppression system.
The heart of the Mercedes-AMG GT4 lies in its M178 4.0-liter V8 engine, which boasts two BorgWarner turbochargers positioned between the cylinder heads in a "hot-V" configuration. This powerplant generates over 500 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the rear wheels via a pneumatically operated sequential AMG 6-speed competition gearbox with a mechanical self-locking differential and magnesium casing. The suspension, consisting of aluminum double wishbones, adjustable shock absorbers, and reinforced track rods, ensures exceptional handling and precise control. The competition AP Racing brake system, with adjustable ABS and self-ventilating composite brake discs, delivers superb stopping power.
This particular GT4 comes with a stunning Petronas-style livery, enhancing its racing aesthetic and allure. Additionally, the owner opted for a passenger seat and an extra set of rims, adding versatility and convenience for various driving scenarios.
Importantly, the car has never been raced competitively and was used solely for high-performance driver education (HPDE) events at Homestead-Miami Speedway. It has been impeccably maintained and is in pristine condition, ready to take on any track.
Accompanying the Mercedes-AMG GT4 are extra sets of tires and a computer tuning cable, allowing for fine-tuning and customization to suit individual preferences.
For racing enthusiasts seeking the ultimate track experience, this 2023 Mercedes-AMG GT4 presents an extraordinary opportunity. With its exceptional performance, aerodynamic design, and advanced racing technology, this track-ready beast is sure to deliver exhilaration and adrenaline in every lap.
