2 design
The ultra-futuristic design of the model was inspired by cars such as the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Formula 1 cars, the Batmobile, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, 1930s racing models and various versions of Mercedes-AMG cars.
As designed by the developers, the outgoing SLS AMG GT will serve as the basis for the unusual model. The car will receive an all-new carbon fiber body, which will then be coated with chrome.The shape of the grille as is shown above is inspired by the classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL, winner of the Carrera Panamericana in 1952, a race known for its unforgiving conditions. However, the grille differs from the classic model by being entirely composed of LEDs, capable of lighting up independently in a variety of patterns.
The car's interior was created by a studio in Como, Italy. The car's chassis was made of aluminum tubing, the body of carbon fiber, and a removable spoiler was installed at the rear.

4 Production
In 2013, U.S. luxury goods manufacturer J&S Worldwide Holdings announced its intention to launch a small series of Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision Gran Turismo cars. Two examples were intended for Europe and the Middle East, and one for the United States. In total, according to automotive media, 5 AMG Vision Gran Turismo cars were produced. It should be noted that, according to the Fox News report announced, Mercedes-Benz is very strict about the reproduction of its own cars and the use of its brand, especially for profit. This fact became particularly visible when the German manufacturer destroyed a replica of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL in 2012. Therefore, there is no accurate information about the existence of replica models.

All this seems a bit expensive, right? Indeed, J&S World Wide Holdings intends to release only five copies of the model, each of which will cost a whopping $1.5 million. Two of them will be destined for Europe, two for the Middle East and one for the United States.
