Mercedes has revealed a teaser image of its new FIA GT3 race series car ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

The intimidating AMG GT3 is based on the latest road-going AMG GT supercar but has been given the German brands racing championship treatment.

The nitty-gritty facts on the race ready AMG GT3 have yet to be released but the car will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month so stay tuned for more details.
