This one almost slipped under the radar, but Mercedes-AMG are developing a new GT4 car. It is being based on the newly presented Mercedes-AMG GT R, and is expected to use the same V8 Twin-Turbo engine of the road going GT R. There is has been no time scale given, but I would expect it to be along the same lines of the new BMW M4 GT4, so I would expect to see it out testing in 2017 and be available to customer race teams by 2018. As can be seen from the design sketches, the GT R GT4 will feature a front splitter, a decently sized rear wing, and possibly a small rear diffuser. But lets just see what they finally come up with.
