Hey there, let me introduce you to an awesome model car in 1/18 scale – the Mercedes-AMG GT3 (C190). This model, made by Minimax as part of the Mercedes-Benz dealer edition, is a must-have for any model car collector. Based on the high-performance racing car, the Mercedes-AMG GT3, this detailed model is crafted from a mix of materials for quality and durability. An exciting feature of this model is that it's a limited edition, with only 500 units available worldwide, making it a highly sought-after collectible for enthusiasts everywhere.
The Mercedes-AMG GT3, produced between 2015 and 2018, belongs to the first generation of GT3 racing cars from Mercedes-AMG, succeeding the successful SLS AMG GT3 model. Designed and developed by, among others, Tobias Moers, the former head of AMG, this race car is powered by a 6.3-liter V8 engine delivering impressive performance and reliability on the track. The SLS AMG GT3 had already made a mark in the racing world, and its successor, the AMG GT3, continued this legacy. With its aerodynamic body and advanced technical features, the GT3 quickly became a favorite in international GT racing series.
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 impresses with its outstanding technical specs and features. It boasts a sequential 6-speed racing gearbox for direct power transfer to the rear wheels. The V8 engine is mounted in a front-midship layout, contributing to optimal weight distribution and a low center of gravity. Additionally, the AMG GT3 is equipped with advanced aerodynamics, including a large rear wing, front splitter, and diffuser, to generate maximum downforce. These features not only enhance its visual appeal but also make it unbeatable in performance.
The 1/18 scale model car by Minimax faithfully replicates the essential features of the original in an impressive manner. In the collection of Modelly member "Gunther," there's a particularly attractive version featuring a striking black and silver paint scheme adorned with red AMG logos and graphics. The attention to detail is evident in the accurate decals, realistic front grille, and precisely replicated headlights. Another standout feature is the authentic black AMG wheels that complete the sporty look of the model. This level of miniature craftsmanship and precision makes the model car a top-notch rendition of the legendary Mercedes-AMG GT3, a must-have for any collection.
