‘Why not?” said Moers when quizzed on the prospects of a high-performance GT.“A street-legal version of our GT3 racing car – that sounds like a pretty good idea.”

I get the feeling that Mr Frankel put the words into the mouth of the Mercedes representative...

But who knows... some day

They absolutely have a GT3 coming up. The Edition 1, which is the only AMG GT S that is available with the CF roof, wing and chin splitter is a "taste" of what's to come.

It looks like several other manufacturers want to go after a piece of Porsche's lucrative GT3 market. All of a sudden we are looking at Aston, MB, Bentley come out with their 3s. Maybe BMW next, competition improves the breed.
