Mercedes-AMG is celebrating its anniversary at the Spa-Francorchamps 24-hour race with three exclusive GT3 special models

This year's TotalEnergies 24 Hours of Spa are all about a special anniversary for Mercedes-AMG: Almost exactly before 50 to the day Years ago, the classic on the Ardennes circuit achieved its first major success, which suddenly brought the still young AMG brand onto the big motorsport stage. Hans Heyer and Clemens Schickentanz were class winners and second in the overall standings with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG - a sensation that shapes the spirit of Mercedes-AMG to this day. As a tribute to the legendary red sedan, which duped the much lighter racing car competition in 1971, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport has now developed the special edition “50 Years Legend of Spa”. It comprises all three GT3 generations that have been available since 2010. For maximum exclusivity, the number of pieces is limited to one copy at a time. In addition to the iconic red design, the three unique items offer other exclusive properties and features. The special editions and a replica of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG can be seen publicly for the first time as part of this year's Spa 24-hour race
